So many questions about relationships, about partnerships and the like, since I've arrived here. For those that choose to engage in such things, I suppose my primary question to you is why.

This is a world where affection is a commodity; I would think it more beneficial to most to treat it as such. There seems to be little point in dedicating oneself to others that are in just as much of a coerced situation, short of making it seem slightly more bearable.

While I'm sure this will be harped on as pointlessly cynical by those with nothing better to do, I consider it more a point of curiosity. It's interesting to me that some will invest themselves so fully into something that essentially doesn't matter – to the world or otherwise.

[...It's not so much cynical as it is making you sound at least mildly like a psychopath, Wesker, but whatever.]

You're needlessly antagonstic for someone failing to take their own advice. Are you finished, or should I let you continue?

You just insulted the average person using this. It's amazing how all of this is going over your head.

If you want a conversation or me to be "nice," you approached it the wrong way.
I'm not sure what's so difficult to understand about people enjoying human connection. There's plenty of people who don't get involved one way or another or even use it as currency or energy.

Again, you're reading into things that aren't said. You're the one who came in being, again, needlessly antagonistic while insisting how little you care. If you've decided you're insulted by my words, that's hardly my problem; if you're going to insist upon everyone else ignoring things they dislike, take your own advice. That's the extent of all I've said to you, and I do stand by that much.

And it isn't a difficult to understand concept as a whole, but there are more than enough extenuating factors as a whole to make it disingenuous at best in this particular circumstance.

You're insulting other people. I don't make money or energy via relationships here, so you're barking up the wrong tree. You opened up this discussion. People are going to say things you don't like and they're going to disagree based on what you're saying.

Because people aren't talking about the more artificial side doesn't mean it doesn't exist. People don't usually air things publicly like that, especially if it makes them look weak or foolish. The situation can make things artificial, but it's not strange for shared experiences -- especially say, an alternate universe kidnapping -- to bring people together in ways they otherwise wouldn't.
