+1 yLong-distance, done correctly, actually takes a lot more work than short distance.
If you actually want to maintain or strengthen an emotional bond, it’s more difficult when you’re limited to long distance.
Many relationships can’t handle long distance. I believe it’s like a 40% fail rate.
So, if one is insufferable in person, they could be even more of a hassle long distance.
I speak from experience when it comes to conflict resolution, providing reassurance, offering emotional support, and finding activities to do together — it’s all enormously easier to do in person.
Now if you’re talking about a super shallow long distance relationship, where it’s just small talk and not very serious, then that’s super easy.
But if you want depth, that’s going to be more difficult to build and maintain over long distance.10 Reply

+1 yA lot of the time, there just isn't anyone compatible locally. Or just that they haven't come across someone compatible in the dating scene locally. However I have heard of stories where a guy or woman would look long distance because they are not exactly the most desirable. That can only be covered up so long though. The man or woman would move to be with this person only to find out they have major issues, etc.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI guess the same can be said about someone using dating apps, but really I think it just comes down to accessibility and exposure. If someone is antisocial, doesn’t have friends to go out with, lives in a small town of not many people, any case where they aren’t in a position to meet potential partners in person then yeah, they turn to another source which is usually online. Sometimes it’s just by chance as well, I’ve seen couples who met through gaming, for instance.

+1 yShit this made me laugh 😂 If I go for long distance, #1 its unintentional, because I can’t help who I like. A connection with someone can form overtime, no matter if they are here, there, anywhere. #2 We can only work if the distance will shorten sooner than later (like within a year or less). #3 The perks of distance is not having to be around the mf everyday. Sure, call and lets talk. But do I need to see them in my face daily since we’re not married? No

@MyOwnMan2 I wouldn’t mind living in the same apartment complex or neighborhood but only spending the night at eachothers on occasion. I understand that its just spending more money when you could save, shacking up. But i really dont want to shackup unless at least engaged and in general, i like my space. Heck even if living together, I’d have joy in knowing we have separate bedrooms that we could go to when we feel like having space 🤷♀️

I wouldn't wanna sleep with a female consistently that isn't horny and wet. And realistically she won't be horny every night. Plus, I understand the "push—pull instinct". I wrote a mytake about it yesterday The Push—pull instinct ↗

@MyOwnMan2 for me personally, I’m up for anything as long as he and i have been together long enough for me to feel comfortable having sex, as long as i get at least 2 recovery days a week (because being pounded hurts after the sessions are over), as long as we dont engage in sexual activity when sick, and as long as he doesn't come near me on the week i’m on my period

@MyOwnMan2 lmao thats crazy. And nah no nut November and stuff alike is dumb. I like to tempt guys everyday to break that silly months rules. But i understand if you want to not nut for a few days in general to build up more when you have sex again

@MyOwnMan2 well thats simply celibacy not no nut shit. I practice celibacy until i feel like i’m in love, in a longterm relationship, and ready to do that with someone

@MyOwnMan2 my thing is, i dont need to be his friend ONLY nor first. We can state our interest and then progress romantically and being there for one another in a friendly manner as well. However, if we end, i dont want to still be friends. Thats why i dont do friends first. When we end, all of that gets deaded

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yNo more like girls who date ld usually has something wrong with them or batshit crazy. I would know because I'm one of them. It's easier to be with someone far away so they don't pick up on the crazy. That's the truth of the matter. I could have a guy locally if I wanted to but I don't want to because of the crazy factor about me.

+1 yI believe it's just a relationship that sort of happens. When you suddenly catch feelings and both go "fuck, why not" I don't know why anyone would choose for a long distance only.
