Stumbling out of your chair, your bones creak as you make the trip up the stairs for the...second? third? time today. The phone is in the living room, a long trip down a hallway with a burned out bulb, but you manage to catch it before the voicemail activates. Come to think of it, since no one ever calls, you've probably never set up your voicemail.

The voice on the other end is a vaguely familiar female. "Is this the C_____ residence?"

"Yes it is. Who am I speaking to?"

"This is Nicky. We met at church the other day. I just wanted to know if we were still on for Bible study tomorrow?"

Yes, it turns out I have feelings. I apologize I don't have superhuman powers to immediately forgive a 2 year long nightmare and that I am still in the process of doing so. Please forgive if not all of my words are carefully polished into gems of pure compassion and sincerity for this person, and be sure to blame absolutely everything on me if there's the slightest hint of it in my language.

Also, dismiss everything I'm saying because of it also. Laugh out loud.

The only purpose of this thread that I can tell is that you really, really, really want to display negativity, badmouth her, and complain that the world does not actually revolve around you. Is there anything in this thread that doesn't boil down to that?

You're right, you don't just want to "gently caress her", you want to tie her down for the rest of your lives so that you can experience a feelgood fantasy of yours. That's so much better.

Nicky laughs. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you were flirting with me. Too bad my boyf-"

Since 93% of communication is nonverbal, you can only see 7% of what I am communicating and your brain is making up the other 93%. The Something Awful motto is that the internet makes you stupid.

You stumble back down into your basement and open your closet. Your wardrobe needs updating - any normal woman would look past the clothes and see the real you, anyway - but you do think your fedora selection is quite stylish.

Aside from the hats, you have a wide variety of wolf shirts, dragon kimonos and the odd xkcd comic tee to pick from. Your vest collection is less extensive and some of them don't fit you anymore, though.

If you intend to go outside, you must select three (3) items - a shirt/kimono, a vest and a fedora - to wear along with your currently four day old blue jeans. Select the COLOR, STYLE and COORDINATION. The temperature is 50F.

Really OP treating your arguments with any dignity is ceding more ground than you deserve. Your manifesto sounds like the one written by the Santa Barbara shooter just with religious iconography thrown in. You completely disregard the agency of women, and your views on relationships are not compatible with Western conceptions of relationships. Maybe in a country far more patriarchal than even the United States you could find your view that marriage is a biological and spiritual imperative, or whatever. But your views are unhealthy and completely flushing this garbage out of your mind would be the first step towards finding a marriage you want so goddamn much.

It seems when you wrote this that you don't have a clear idea of what my views are. Where have I ever disregarded the agency of women? I believe if women seek marriage they will be happier as well. I understand I am going against the grain of Western conceptions of relationships but I am also completely tolerant of alternative arrangements, and I have stated this many times. I have a point of view I would argue because I believe it works and will create more harmony - all I would ever use to argue that point are my words, and what I would seek in my own personal romantic life. I only seek to persuade others and may the best arguments and data win.

If the idea is radical and you want to squelch it for that reason you are a hypocrite.

93% of your verbal communication is completely stupid, how does that factor in?

You aren't novel or special its not like we're having a tough time understanding your premise, its just that if I had to write a butthurt MRA troll he would say all the same things you do because your experience is so typical and what you're going through is a phase that hopefully ends with you realising what an rear end in a top hat you've been.

From your own words you asked a girl with a boyfriend if she would marry you, then when she said no you send her a list telling her how to be less of a tease.

Sorry, once you lose your virginity though this is all going to seem rather embarrassing to you.

e: although I should make clear not all virgins are as lovely as this guy, its just one of my remaining virgin friends is exactly this guy, except he has brief moments of clarity where he's like "man if id just kissed that girl back 5 years ago i wouldn't hate women now"

Sex is gross, though. It's full of squishy noises, and often the bodies have cellulite, sometimes hair. What's worse is they often expect to go to sleep next to you, like your privacy means nothing or whatever.

Aside from the questionable precision of getting communication ratios down to two significant figures...

Just because other information is communicated with tone, facial expression, body language, etc does not mean that the words are unimportant and you should infer something totally contradictory to her words.

For one thing, it's rapey: "her lips said no, but her eyes said yes!" For another, you're discarding the objective content of the words she consciously selected to convey to you a message ("I have a boyfriend") and preferring your own subjective interpretation coloured by what you want to be true ("She asked me for a ride and is confiding in me, no one would do that unless they want the D!")

I have nothing against lesbians. I would wish that they get married and adopt an orphan, perhaps. Raising a kid is a joy to have in life. Would the relationship dynamics be optimal with two motherly figures, or would one of them have to take more of a fatherly role? Either way if they were together and in love it's cool with me.

The substance of your post is wrong. People disagree that your interpretation of God's way is best. People disagree that relationships without marriage are wrong. People disagree that sex without procreation is wrong. Hell, people don't even agree that a single parent is always worse than two parents but that two parents are better than three parents. People disagree that women must be married to men (and should not be single or unmarried).

Unless you can convince people of those basic opinions you have, nothing that builds on those assumptions can be addressed because they rely on something people disagree with.
