I am a male in grade 10 and I am curious as to why teenagers date. I see my peers participating in this activity, and I find it to be very interesting. Why do teenagers participate in this irrational activity?
My peers seem spend an inordinate amount of time on dating. At the same time, their grades slip. They would rather spend Friday nights dating, than preparing for their future. I find this an absurd notion, but when I try to discuss it with my peers, they laugh me off.
Dating is irrational because:
Causes emotions which affect your judgement.
Possibility of pregnancy if coitis in involved.
Possibility of STI if coitis is involved.
Love is not real. It is caused by brain chemicals. No different than Heroin.
Marriage is just another industry created for the profit of churches and lawyers. Women also seem to damage careers. I will never get married or date.
I respect the right to self determination, but would the time not be better spent on some other project? I usually take the dance time to work on an aquaponics system I am designing for instance. They also miss the opportunity to study that night.
Emotions only detract from the logical part of the brain. I am not perfect in this regard, since it has been 2 years since a started eradicating them, and they keep resurfacing. Any way to finally kill them off? Medications?
Fun does not cure cancer, happiness does not cure HIV, romance does not end world hunger, and dating does not form a peace treaty in Israel. Logic does.
Questions:
Why do teenagers waste so much time dating?
Why do people bother to get married?
How can I kill off my emotions?
I am not a loner as some people have said in the past. Dating will never be a part of my life, but having the knowledge on this prevalent activity is important because knowledge is power. Similar to Heroin. You should understand it, but never do it.
