Impossible when you don't have a life worth sharing and worth multiplying, such as a life when you yourself is mired with debt, anxiety, impatience and whatever shortcomings that have been troubling you.
If someone struggles with those things, then, yes, for sure, they'll have to work to make progress there if they do want to marry.
Then improve yourself first rather than looking for someone else to fix you - through dating app or elsewhere. From what I've heard, a dating app is at best a waste of time, at worst a slot machine that gets you trapped, especially for men.
Well, yeah, that's what I just said.
So you have no firsthand experience with using dating apps yourself? Then how do you know how bad they are?
At least such romance novels are precious cultural heritage, they display to me the beauty and intricacy of this language, draw me in and make me laugh, compared to today's AI slops and other slops laden with political agenda or nonsense feelings; and most importantly, at least I know I'm reading about Mr. Darcy in a fiction for a mental escape, instead of daydreaming about one in real life or searching for one on dating apps (or Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse or Marianne, for that matter).
A smart person learns from their own mistakes, a wise person learns from other's.
Ah. So failure on a dating app, and probably dating in general, is 100% guaranteed. Good to know. Hahaha!
*Looks up invective and screeds*
invective: (noun) Denunciatory or abusive language; vituperation.
screeds: A muppet that appeared on the 1st season of SNL
I don't know whether you're truly fond of dating or hurling this at me out of spite. Sounds sarcastic to me.
"All happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." I'm not saying that all married couples will end up like suicidal Anna, Vronsky and poor cuckholded Karenin, but I don't expect all of them to be as happy for the rest of their lives as Kitty and Levin, as long as it's a "Christian" marriage, yet that's quite the impression I've got here, even when they met on a damn dating app, they must be happy, just because it's a match, and it proves a point! This all-or-nothing mindset is more damaging and discouraging for marriage than any sabotage the devil could've done.
I am being sarcastic. And I don't mean to show you any spite, sorry if it came off that way.
Didn't mean to call him a muppet, but if the shoe fits.... I was going for the more common definition of a long speech or essay especially a diatribe.
But mostly trying to add some variety to the repeated charge of angry ranting.
Never know, you could be someone's Mr. Darcy. You may have even more pride that he did at the beginning of that book. Destined to be Darcy... has a certain ring to it.
I remember a comedian who expressed something like that.
"I don't want kids because I'm not too excited about myself. I just can't convince myself that the world needs another round of me. Once around is enough for me. There's no reason for me to make more of me to go around again."
Calling someone a muppet kind of has three meanings... and all meanie.
Yes, I should note screed actually means "A long monotonous speech or piece of writing", but I couldn't resist.
What do you call someone who uses a lot of "big words"?
Cinder or Lynx (he has his moments too).
If they use them correctly you call them educated or someone who has an extensive vocabulary. If they use them incorrectly you call them pretentious or a poser. And if they are in the habit of using immense words when diminutive ones will do, you call them a business manager.
