An akrasia confession: every so often, I unintentionally remember what should have been very, very minor embarrassments from years and years ago, maybe in front of people I never knew at all well -- sometimes complete strangers. I'm probably the only one on Earth who has any recollection about these incidents at all. Still, to this day, I find myself mortified.
P.S. That doesn't let you off the hook, ewang. I am appalled and disgusted at your comment. Indeed, my mind is truly boggled. Hide your head in shame.
P.P.S. Not really.
I do this too. Lately I've been having a lot of fun with the reduction of personal identity, so sometimes I try to console myself with the thought that because lots of people have said lots of stupid things in lots of years, the fact that I said something stupid the other year is just a trivial special case---my embarrassment is not uniquely important, and not really news. Somehow I fail to be consoled.
Open to anyone, single or otherwise. What do you look for in a relationship?
A few questions to narrow down the responses:
1: What traits are most important to you in a prospective partner?
2: What kind of role would you want your partner(s) to play in your life?
3: How much time would you spend together, ideally?
4: How important is it to you that you share similar tastes?
5: How important is it that you be ideologically similar?
6: What, if anything, are your dealbreakers?
