It's sad that none of you realize that none of this is true, and it's a troll for attention.
I think that most or all of us understand that any post like this is suspect. It’s just more fun to play along than shit on everything.
Condescending to us just makes you look pathetic, not smart.
I care about your opinion of me. It's very important.
What makes you think they are trolling? Their answers are grounded and are providing context when needed. A troll would include details about a gold coin vault that he swims in.
How is it a troll for attention? What kind of attention? Does it really matter on the internet?
True or not, it's really only a relatively new problem and only in western cultures (to my limited knowledge.) It wasn't that long ago in Europe where kids, specifically girls, had a mate chosen for them, especially in upper classes. In India, it's still a prevalent tradition. It's really only western cultures that have the "love conquers all" ideal. Personally, I find it fascinating to talk to people who are successful and happy in an arranged marriage.
