I dont mean this to be insulting but I find that statement to be total bullshit....
Even if it were true, finding that one person would be more difficult than winning the lottery. Why even try?
The truth is that there is no perfect relationship. They all take work and some are better than others in terms of compatibility.
in my experience, thats not total bullshit. true love does exist.
this is one lottery you gotta open your heart for though. (and Any relationship has to be worked at)
sure, compromise, if you have to, most do, but i prefer not to.
how do you know its true love? its instantaneous (even if ya only saw a finger of the other person (and dont even go particularily for fingers..)
and you want to live out the rest of your life with that person, without even thinking about it and they are the same.
sure, ive been as pessimistic as you. but the thing about "compromise" is that if you select just the "best" partner you see (or can get)
then its not a 100% thing, they will leave you if something better comes along (as you yourself would(because its not true love))
having kids with someone that doesnt truly love you? bit sick mate. something comes up and the kids end up with divorced parents.
would make more sense to just hire a housemaid and hookers.
though, of course,the drive to procreate is strong. most people are perhaps too much animal to resist it in favor of better things.
just go looking for a nice body or a good provider.
perhaps a nice personality if they are slightly more brainily advanced..
oh well, have fun with that!
