Venting I hate arbitrary rules

[Mainländer]

People enforce certain arbitrary rules but not others. For example, in dating:

You should date someone your own age

You should date someone your own race

You should date someone with roughly the same level of attractiveness than you

You should date someone your own wealth level

It's just a bunch of arbitrary rules that come from ideologies.

 

[RREEEEEEEEE]

Idek what arbitrary means! I see it often though. Is it a fancy word of saying "man-made"?

adjective: arbitrary

1. based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.

I see, interdasting. I guess in this context, it would be "personal whim," right? But wouldn't that be tied into "any reason"?

It's basically not based on logic and reason, but on random, emotional, ideological, unfounded psychological stuff.

I see. I agree that you make good points. It's absurd, to say the least.

Thank you my Middle Eastern friend.

Thank you my Middle Eastern friend.

I am actually South Asian! Pakistan is located in South Asia. That is why people in the UK refer to Bengalis, Indians and Pakistanis as Asians, and not the Chinese, Korean, Japanese, et cetera.

Oh, sorry. I was gonna use "Arab" but I was unsure of your specific place of origin so I guessed expanding it to the whole Middle East kek. My bad.

Ahh, you're a mestizo? I hear some crazy stuff about Brazilian women, that they cut off people's dicks?

Funnily I don't agree with any of the four tbh.

Haven't you seen my DNA test? I'm 7.7% African.

I've only heard of some very rare instances of that happening, it's not something widespread, no.

date your own age is just as stupid as date your own race

No other part of the world thinks curry over rice when Asian is uttered though.
