Relationship and Love Advice From The Common Man

Guru Age: 35

“The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”

The world is full of murders, racists, homophobes, believers, liars, dreamers and they all have one thing in common with each other. They all just want to be loved and love in return. In the end that’s the only thing we all want. But how do we find – real, ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't live without each other – love?

Start by taking advice from someone who’s been there:

I was expecting a story from a man in a relationship. Not a list from google.

Thanks for the "take"

I knew this already and i honestly don´t find this to be very helpful at all becuse i'm mysef and i still single and probobly will be for the rest of my life unless there is a girl who makes the first move in geting to know me, I highly doubt that will ever happen since i not even attractive. Love is blind nowdays in my opinion becuse all it focuses on mostly is your apperance and i don´t think love real love can come from just looking sexy but still looking sexy opens up doors of more opportunities witch can make relationships easier with the opposite sex becuse i think people are more open to those who are attractive in general and to be in relationships with.

  I know you said that you'd heard these before, but perhaps you missed the part about loving yourself. You say you aren't all that attractive--people that love themselves think more along the lines of : 'I may not be attractive to everybody, but I'm definitely attractive to somebody'. Remember that. Getting out there and doing things you love will attract girls. Girls that share interests with you.

  Aren't you too young to be talking about 'being single for the rest of your life'?
  
  I'm the one who should be doing that! :P

  Lol at "under 18 and jaded"
  
  You don't even know who "you" are yet. Give yourself a chance, and some time.
  
  On the other hand, I do agree that this My Take was pretty unhelpful. Nothing more than catch phrases. They work when they work and when they don't it would have be nice if they did, so we cherish them. Oh, also, they can be tweeted in under 140 characters.

The part that really had me was: the world is full of rapists, murderers, homophobes, dreamers, believers, liars and one thing they have in common is they all want to be loved. Fair enough. Eventhough im not sure all these people even know what love is (especially the rapists XD).

  The part that really had me was "murders" instead "murderers". Fucked up in the second sentence.

Take was okay but a common man doesn't have 'verified' twitter profile like @amber_kelleher

And what did you say? Common man? But there are girls in your take too?

I think this take would probably get voted for "Most Views for Today". Really had me going for a minute there. Lol
But hey, maybe someone brand spanking new to the dating world needed to read this Take. 😊

Yeah and there are tons of people out there who would love to be able to fulfill all these with someone but they can't. Whether 10 applies to them or not.

I don't think a lot of those heartless people actually are about being loved. I think a lot of them are angry, hurt, or simply hate the human race.

I find it odd how this is from the "common man" yet the post and most of the tweets are from women. So much for the common man, I guess our opinions aren't as important as womens...

Yeah sure.. but the only love a murders, racists and the like are getting from me is the flash they see from the barrel of my 9mm if they cross me.
