HOW NOT TO FIND A PARTNER -Lessons from an old man I have a friend whose wife died a year ago.

seattlepanda comments on Jul 2, 2019:

Very good post and analysis, BigWave... I take it a little further... The expectation going in, of marriage(or L-T). There is no way we can determine "chemistry" online, even phone chats.And it's impossible to list all characteristics and behaviors that will annoy, as well as unexpectedly delight. What's the problem with identifying someone as safe and with some(not all)commonality and just being friends, and seeing where it goes?... Further, things often don't work out. If expectations going in are enormous, deciding to not go ahead becomes trauma("broken heart")... Really, it doesn't have to be this way.

seattlepanda comments on Jun 27, 2019:

I don't think someone with polar opposite political ideas would be a good match for me(I may likely had said different 5 years ago). Religion-wise I am ambivalent. Long a she is tolerant and accepting of my views, that's good enough for me.

seattlepanda comments on Jun 27, 2019:

Although I support some ownership restrictions, my sense is that what we have today is more a mental health issue. I think Americans suffer an unusual and much more widespread degree of depression and anxiety relative to in the past. I also think that we need to look more closely at aggregate causes of this circumstance.
