It got me the same way at first. But then I realized that the questions simply bring out the essence of being human, the same flaws and insecurities that most people feel. That had me feeling that we’re all connected on a human level through good and bad, diminishing the importance of the issues one might have in a relationship. That was my take away from those annoying questions, anyway.

I was thinking yesterday about how even if you don't agree with someones way of thinking, it can still be useful to understand it. People might use different words, and structure their explanations in different ways, but they responding to and trying to rationalize their experience of the same underlying wetware. looking at the way other people try to explain human nature can help reveal things about the experience of being human.

Welcome to the Internet.

I thought it was funny. I'm not in a relationship, though. Maybe that's the difference.

Perhaps. I can't imagine sniping at my significant other like that. We state plainly what we mean as best we can and always try to argue in good faith. This caricature of a communication breakdown is more grotesque than relatable.

Don’t jinx yourself

It made me laugh. Humor is based on pain, after all.

I saw it as a snarky refutation of "this one weird trick for love!"

It's a reaction piece to https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/style/modern-love-to-fall...

Yeah, I got that. I just like using "this one weird trick".
