The best (and oldest) dating strategy.

[enchanted]

Sadguru and others say looking at sex as merely an act of reproduction is the best way to approach sex and relationships. It explains all the behavior of the people involved in a relationship. 

All the emotional and physical pleasure sex and relationship provides is the nector that evolution and DNA has produced to trick people to mate. 

Everytime you are flirting with a potential mate just realize what you are implicitly doing. Setting the stage to reproduce. 

Looking at it this way makes relationships so much easier and helps avoid unnecessary drama.

I guess this excludes older people 50+. They're also looking for relationships but not necessarily kids.

There’s many different ways to look at relationships and sex. Some people reach an age and stage in their development where they will choose to write these things off as less important to them. It’s always the old gurus and teachers who are less concerned with dating. I enjoy relationships, sex feels great, doorway to inner love (but not the only way), I see benefits in having great and honest relationships. Also for starting a family which I heard is incredibly rewarding and meaningful for many people. Do we place over importance on them relationship though? Yes. Find a balance that’s right for you.

It's such a clever trick that it even ensnares people who can't have kids like 50+ and gay people.

Good question 

[Spiritual Warrior]

I like this take.

Like it too. Seems good to go past your own nonsense

Yeah, it's a great excuse to not to learn true intimacy and connection.

Yes, with the small nuance that the "merely" act of reproduction is the union between two karmas/genetics/souls on a metaphysical level for the creation of a new universe.

Yeah, it's coming from the masculine energy that struggles with that. It doesn't compute with me as not everyone wants to reproduce and some uses sex to just be intimate and connect on a deeper level which is a feminine trait. Approaching a potential partner just for the sake of reproduction seems so cold and disconnected.

In fact it won’t help you at all. You’ll know from experience.

Pain and love is just a chemical reaction in your brain.

The above statement will not help you avoid pain or suffering.

@enchanted can’t say I’m on board with this post.

My personal opinion is that this is bad advice for many people.
