Search Results: meaning of love

I know this age identification thing is getting out of hand lol, but let me add context to my question:

When they asked Borges in an interview if he considered himself a man of the 19th century, he unquestionably answered, “Yes.” Borges was born in 1899.

I think it goes beyond having literally been born in that century. He despised his era; he despised what the 20th century brought to the world, so I see it more as a very conservative posture and identification rather than really meaning that he is someone from the 19th century, since he has no recollections from that century, and when we think about 20th-century figures, many of them were born in the 19th century (Hitler, Einstein, Churchill, Sartre, Kafka, Bertrand Russell, etc.). Borges did have a love for authors and philosophers of that century, and many of the anecdotes that he tells about his ancestors happened in the 19th century, so it is more of a longing than a literal identification.

So my question goes in a similar way: in what meaningful ways would you consider yourself to be a 20th-century person despite being mostly a 21st-century one? Or the world evolves so fast that it makes this impossible to answer as Borges did?

I find myself curious. I don't know the actual statistics and I feel it would be hard to find stats about gossip but I will share my experience.

Personally I find that lots of guys who actually can cheat easily do openly talk about it with their guy friends. I'd say over 50%. Notice I said guys who can, meaning guys who are at least attractive enough to have options. For me personally, the people closest to me are pretty attractive but devoted to their partners, and I absolutely love them too. I feel I am good at surrounding myself with loyal people, but outside of my closest friends and family, this commitment is lacking. I also work in an environment with lots of attractive people, so it is hard for the guys and the girls not to at least take some glances, and I do not see anything wrong with this, but there are definitely plenty of people guys trying or actually cheating on their partner. I have definitely spoken to girls who are like this too, but I am also careful at work when I am talking to a woman because sexual harassment cases have been an issue here. Some have definitely falsely gone in the women's favor due to the nature of our society.
