Armenian Girlfriends!

Re: Armenian Girlfriends!

I think this rule should be a little more flexible on Facebook. I agree with Myspace but everyone seems to have Facebook these days. 90% of the girls I know have one (and so do most guys). I think Facebook is much more private and is used for more reason than meeting people or decorating your page.

If you want to date a girl who has a Facebook, that's your prerogative. Rules are rules. Facebook and Myspace are pretty much the same thing, conceptually. Their layout may be different and they may have different styles, but they both cater to the attention-whorre crowd.

Girls still show themselves off on Facebook as they would on Myspace. It's irrelevant. When your girl has a bunch of random friend requests and guys messaging her commenting on this or that picture, I think it's time to tell that girl to be a little more reserved. If not, you won't have to deal with that.

This goes for both parties. If you are dating or in a relationship, there is absolutely no reason to be on myspace or facebook. What reason can people possibly have?

All they do is put up pictures of themselves, describe their mood, list things they like or dislike, show top tens or messages - in short, they just cry for attention.

The problem with myspace and facebook is not those things in and of themselves. Those things in and of themselves have no value except in relation to other things (in this case people).

I could state that "Don't date girls who are attention whores" but that would be very simplistic and I think that phrase and advice has lost its luster and relevancy in this age. People take it for granted, "Yea, attention whores are bad, I'll avoid them" all the while displaying a cognitive dissonance to the simple fact that their own girls are that which they deplore. They are so by association to myspace and facebook.

While myspace and facebook do not themselves create this situation, they are channels that allow these attention whores and this depraved culture to fester and flourish. I say "Don't date girls on myspace/facebook" because saying "Don't date girls who are attention whores" has been lost in translation. We have to now refer to symbols and other cultural markers to get across the idea that some girls (90%) are not worth a man's time.

Re: Armenian Girlfriends!

I used to laugh at the thought of arranged marriages.
It is the best thing you can do. Forget "love" and all the other crap ... it is all temporary. Find a nice and quite girl, marry her and be respectful to her. You are still young, wait 5 more years at least. Marry and Armenian from a conservative family. Years ago when I was leaving my native country my aunt told me "stay away from "European w hores" It took me decades to realize what she meant.

Azad is right, find a few American girls for the pleasure. And than find a Armenian wife for you.

1. Never date a girl who has a myspace/facebook.

Although I also wonder if there isn't some truth to the idea/feeling of Love.

Whatever is that feeling it is temporary. You can create "love" by being truthful and harmonious with one good person. People (the new West) go through life chasing "love" from one partner to another. A glorified prostitution. It is an insults to prostitutes since they provide pleasure for cash, in this case they provide it for free.

I understand what you mean. When people say they "are in love" they themselves don't even know what they mean. When people marry solely on the fact that they "love" each other you have situations like a 50% (and growing) divorce rate in America.

I myself like the idea of getting married to a "quaint/simple/conservative" village-girl who doesn't have the sense of *entitlement* of most Americanized women. Although I also wonder if there isn't some truth to the idea/feeling of Love.

Rule 3: Follow the 5 golden rules of dating:

1. Never date a girl who has a myspace/facebook.
2. Never date a girl who has lots of "guy friends"
3. Never date a girl who is friends with her ex.
4. Never date a girl who comes from a divorced home/abusive father/ raped, etc.
5. Never date a girl who cannot handle her money.

Truth.

Many people will disagree with what I'm about to say but it worked for me so it may work with you. By the way, I went over this through our PM's. I'm serious, I had a very similar problem as you and I think you should listen to me!

I spent years going through what you're going through. Looking back, I can't believe I took it all so seriously. I thought every girl I came across had the potential to be "the one." I ignored their flaws and tried to make the relationship work.

How do you know when she's the right one? You just know. When I met my girlfriend, we met through friends. We spoke over the internet one or two times before we began talking on the phone. Within a day or two of talking, I knew she wasn't like any other girl I had known. Before our first date, I knew she was the one. How did I know? I just knew!

A year and a half later, we're still together and she's the only girl I have ever loved. So what happened? I stressed over all the wrong girls until the right girl came into my life. It clicked for both of us and we immediately knew what was missing from our lives.

This may sound cheesy (it would have to me if I had read it 2+ years ago) and it may not be the same for everybody. I just suggest you stop spending so much time with the wrong girls.

Who are the wrong girls? Read Anonymouse's post.

Re: Armenian Girlfriends!

Don't let worry for considerations that are supposed to enhance your chances of getting/keeping a girl, stop you from living and growing, exploring and finding out what you really want to do in life. And don't ever let a girl make you abandon something that you've found in your life that has brought you personal peace and sense of integrity. Abandon her instead.

Very wise!
