People should stop pair-bonding and start octet-bonding.

Personally I'd like to have some experience in that area before committing to it.

I wonder if there's truly a point at which a single individual can have too many partners to communicate/share/bond/live with - a point at which they're doing so much relationship work that they stop being a real individual or have basically no time for anything else.

I know ad hoc neurological research in sports/military and so on have discovered that groups of 5 really stand out to the individual mind as the limit of tracking and anything else after that starts to drop off in terms of spatial awareness and coherence.

I wouldn't even say that it's a multiple kind of deal. An individual can be doing so much relationship work with just a single individual that they know how to live and find happiness and fulfillment in themselves and other relationships in life.

Research is research though, and I definitely agree from my own personal experiences. It's not often that you find people with a large close knit circle of friends. I know my close friends number no more than 6. Individuals I trust implicitly etc.

I know that my Sim had well over 100 super close friends and it was a lot of hard work for me

Damn it did I just mix LotR and WoT?

But does she command, like a Sir?

I didn't go through and read everything in this thread so I hope I'm not repeating anything. I don't really care if people want to wait to have sex or not, but I do think it makes those who wait get married younger and quicker than people who don't wait. Getting married fast or waiting for a while doesn't really make your odds of staying together any better or any worse but I am glad that I dated around and didn't just form an attachment with the first guy I got with and got married just because I wanted to have sex. Now don't get on my case about this please. I don't think that people who wait to have sex love each other any less or are only getting married just to have sex. I just think that it adds a bit of pressure and exitement that might make people rush into something too fast or with the wrong person. Some people who wait are not even allowed to kiss the person they like / love. If you want to wait that is your choice. Just don't rush into anything. There are a lot of fish in the sea so make sure you snag the right one for you. The exitement of sex wears off after you have been with a person for a long time. Make sure you have other good things to your relationship other than just the fact that you both want to and are excited to have sex with each other.

Do you advocate conditional love or unconditional love?

[amphibian]

No, worrywort, the question is whether twue wuv can truly be engaged in with pants on.

Rodeo Ranch is in the midst of a long running study to answer this. He is even going as far as to try mawwiage, that supposedly bweautiful thing.
