Korittke, excellent post! Couldn't have said it better myself! People who are attached to this silly cosmic idea of "ONE soulmate" are being very narrow-minded, and setting themselves up for failure. In fact, when you take that to an extreme, it's an example of something called "Disabled Will." There are MANY people out there who are "right for you", not just one. People aren't like Bagels (sesame = the ONE true bagel, and you can go die if you disagree ).

That's another point. Some people actually come to think that since love is so infinite and blablabla, their relationship will work out without a good banging. It won't.
This is another interesting point. I'd like to talk a little about looks. There are a lot of so-called "nice guys" out there who try to pass off this retarded blanket notion that looks don't matter. But the bottom line is, for GUYS, looks DO matter. Maybe not in the long run, but for first impressions, they do. You can raise your hand and tell me that's not the case, but I won't believe you for a second. If you're the guy who claims looks don't matter, it's because you want to sneak into relationships from the back door that is "close friendship first", and I bet you have a LOT of close female friends (and nothing more).
On the other side of the fence, things are different. Looks contribute to less than a third of the first impression a woman makes of a man. That's good news for men! It means that, while women have it a lot easier (in terms of "rules of attraction" or whatever), men have the advantage of it being a learnable SKILL. But anyway, this is getting off-topic.
Once again, Korittke, excellent post, and I love the fact that most people on the continent will secretly disagree with it, because that helps to boost OUR chances .
