something that I had been thinking about here and there for a while, something odd…but that with many folks you speak with, success to them will bring you a wife, a big home, and anything you’d ever wanted. or at least most with financial security and all.

and while I agree with most of that and don’t disagree that everyone should try to be successful – why is it that we’ve got the understanding that success means getting an S/O? I don’t hear that it’ll bring you a husband…but also not female…but in a way, it seems to imply that your S/O wants to use you for your wealth and success, should you become successful. Ykno, instead of loving each other for who you are…

Maybe I’m overthinking this or there’s something I’m missing…but the point being we need to stop dating each other as humans for something as ridiculous as their income or status. We need to start actually loving each other for who we are. I could care less that my S/O has a job, I’d like to see them take care of themselves and have their own hobby or career or something that doesn’t constitute them being lazy all day every day.

Especially these days in such a predatory market…i don’t fault those with morals not wanting to get fucked over by Microsoft, but at least have a hobby of programming on the side or seek knowledge in another field in your off time. Not all the time – no need to be a workhorse, but just go with the flow in a way.

Probably am overthinking this. Dunno. Odd either way…
