I think there is a basis of research/literature on the power of our mind/thinking/convictions, which could be a cool place to start exploring this. https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832067 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832067 Sun, 05 Jun 2022 16:11:54 -0400 It can be hard for me to see so many people with others out on the streets in NYC (romantic partners or otherwise), if I walk around alone at times. But one thing I love about the city is that people don't really superficially care what others are doing, https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832066 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832066 since we see so many "bizarre" behaviors in general. Sun, 05 Jun 2022 16:10:37 -0400 Good reminder that highlights the importance for us to look at methodology and not take a study for face value just because of the name/author! https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832065 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832065 Sun, 05 Jun 2022 16:07:06 -0400 I agree with you Avi. I do not know if I can read this sentence as being an empirical statement, since people's motives/intents are subjective. https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832064 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832064 Sun, 05 Jun 2022 16:14:47 -0400 I agree with DePaulo's argument for being single as a choice, but I personally do not think that ALL people that are single are doing so as a choice today. We are attuned to look for the "next best thing" (ex. Apple and creative destruction, dating apps). https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832063 https://nowcomment.com/documents/317340?scroll_to=2832063 As a result, I think that some people are single because they desire a partner that does not realistically exist. This is not to blame the individual, but society and the way that we discuss love in today's modern age should be scrutinized. Thu, 16 Jun 2022 10:52:20 -0400
