i think it's what leads to a financial contract

If you want kids there is no way around it

I'm not really qualified to speak on this subject, however, I'm not entirely sure I can say no. When I felt romance once, it was one of the best things I'd ever felt, and even though it was entirely one sided, I was still happy to have that person around me.

I knew that it wasn't going to end well for me in any way, so I distanced myself between that emotion and that person. It isn't possible to truly love someone unconditionally, so I knew that I'd only be saving myself from pain and embarrassment, even if doing it was one of the most painful things I've ever done and felt.

It may have been a waste on me entirely, like my life, but who am I to say that it is a waste for others? I'm nothing but trash that only feels nothing but bitterness when I see anything relating to this. I'm the waste of time. I wish I were dead.

Depends on what your goal is? What do you want out of romance? Thrill? Companionship? A fix? Coupling is so complex and so dependant on variables that there is hardly a formula for it.

Yes. Looks are the most important thing, really. After that, sex.

Absolutely.

i never really think about it so i can't say.

I think it's a huge risk. It's like playing the lotto, but if the lotto had the power to destroy your finances if you lost.

Definitely not. In fact I probably idealize it way too much for my own good since my only experience with romance is through anime.
What I think is a waste is the stage that comes before romance, platonic love, because I'll never get past it. Whenever I get my hopes up something bad happens, it's a recipe for disaster.
I'm sure there are people out there who aren't as unfortunate in these affairs, I only speak for myself.

Don't you mean Ford Driver?

What are you on about? OP asked a question and I answered it with my honest opinion. If you want to see the same opinions over and over you can always reread them.

I'm a third worlder who can't even afford a bicycle though.

It always felt forced to me.

That bit about platonic love and implying you want a 3D relationship.

Ford Driver is a silly meme used around here to reference normalfags. It comes from "4rd", which was a misspelling of "4th" in a thread giving users four options and the forth being a very normalfag option.
It doesn't literally refer to the truck or driving one.

Absolutely. Sex is all that's real

Welcome to tohno-chan btw

Romace as idealized in fantasy and my own head? No. Can it exist like that in real life? Not really.

Absolutely. It's just roleplaying. Sex is the only thing a woman could offer me.

Not at all. I'ts just unsuited to experience with people, but handled as it should, with characters, it's something to strive and live for (at least I do).
