Search Results: can you find a partner when you are lost

Hanging out with couples when you're single can be very weird. Couples on the one hand are very happy and overly affectionate but on the other hand are very nosy and pushy. They are just so Happy not to be alone anymore that they want to show off their happiness and at the same time rub it in our single faces. The weird part comes after they calm down their sexual high. Suddenly you become this stray animal to them. They start looking at you with these weird eyes while trying to figure out why someone abandoned you. Then they proceed in a mission to find you a "home" that makes sense for them. When we really just need time to adjust to our new surroundings. We need stability not dependence.

A Single person to a Couple, who's just come down from the 3 to 6 month sex high, is a symbol of lost freedom and independence. A single person can come and go as they please. They don't have to compare schedules or check in all the time with someone who up until a few months ago were a complete stranger. Maybe best of all is the time to enjoy some peace and quiet to yourself without hurting someone's feelings by asking to be alone for a bit. I mean you love your partner but everyone needs a few hours to themselves to do nothing, to worry about nothing. Single people are a constant reminder of the cost of companionship, but only you can decide it's worth it.

So with all that in mind, Should Couples be allowed to hang out with Single People?

Since my 20-year old soulmate revealed that she has started to want humans (and they are humans, not just a 'child'), we have been breaking up due to her demand that she can only be with me if I want to have humans with her in the future. We are very much in love, and our relationship was strong and committed prior to this.

I told my father of this development. He said that all women are subconsciously programmed by evilution to want humans. But men do not have that programming. Which, as a reader of evilutionary psychology and biology books and studies, I agree with.

He told me, for the first time, that the only reason I was born is because my mother wanted a human, and he didn't. She forced him to either have a human with her at some point, or to end the relationship. Because he loved my mother, and didn't want to lose her - a feeling which I think everyone can understand - he had me. This is why I am here today.

With the example of both my parents and my girlfriend, I am experiencing this manipulation as both a son, and as a partner.

What I am certain of, is that a father is very unlikely to tell his children that he did not want them. Therefor, logically, it is entirely possible that this reality is extremely prevelant among the human population. It may even be a majority - even the vast majority - of us who are here for this very reason. Because the mother gave an ultimatum, and the father, scared to lose her, bowed down to her demands.

The thing with a poll of this nature, is that many will either not be aware enough, or strong enough, to accept their suspicions - so I am not expecting this poll to mean much, unless we find that there are many who do, secretly, realise this. Which, on a societal level, would be a wonderfully positive step in the struggle for mutual cross-gender understanding and enlightenment.
