Single Precisely Because You Are Fit Not To Be? - m4w - 29

Is that you? Me too. It's a rare thing. The bad news is that you, nor I, nor even you and I together, can fix it. The amount of appeasement required to maintain a job, attend a regular yoga class, a book club, or even to ride elevators with strangers is too great for two people to not partake in lest we be deprived of the things that such activities are actually worth doing for. There is no changing that any time soon, unfortunately - and thus there really is no point in having a relationship; not even with someone just like yourself.

The good news, however, is that we can provide each other with periodic moments of solace from the sickness surrounding us. What that means is rare nights of uninhibited intellectual, emotional, and sexual passion all within the strict guideline that there be no unnecessary contact outside of those nights. You see, the risk involved with taking another course - either attempting to maintain a healthy relationship in an unhealthy worlds, or attempting to remain healthy in one without any outlet - is becoming exactly like those who we despise. The former leads to too much revealed to them, which leads to ever more serious threats to one's values, which leads to death or surrender - while the latter causes a gradual, imperceptible lowering of one's standards since there is no incentive to maintain them.

The route I propose, however, allows people such as us to operate in the world as it currently is - to pay it's ransoms and stay off of it's radar - but without having to forget that that is all that is happening. Without having to come to take pride in it, as if it were a natural and inherent part of life as it could be a should be. This route does involve an element of pain, yes - the acute acknowledgment of just how slim are our chances of untying this knot and making the predicament moot - but being who you are, you should be prepared to accept it. I know that I am.

If you are interested, I know you will hesitate to write (I hesitated to write this), but please do so. I want to hear from you.
