Do you think relationships are worth the time and money?
[0] I’m in a relationship [1] TL;DR If a relationship interfered with your time to meet friends, work out, self-improve, rest, have hobies, learn, get higher TC, etc would you still commit to another person? [2] The raw math 8760 hours a year - 2920 sleep - 2000 work = 3840 left Of that 1/4 will be spent eating, commuting, being online, showering, brushing your teeth. A relationship would likely at least 1/2 of that, likely more and you’re left with 1000 hours to work out, learn, self-improve, sepend time with FRIENDS, stop and smell the roses, and not to mention leetcode. ***Let me reiterate. Technically we have about 1000 hours a year. That’s it.*** [3] !!! Please note that not being in a relationship is not the same as being celibate. [4] !!! Please note that I am talking about romantic relationships and not friendships. [5] !!! Please note that a committed relationship is not the same as occasional companionship. [6] I’ve been in multiple relationships over the years, the longest being over 4 years. Looking back on most I feel like I wasted so much time. Only one or two left me feeling like I learned something and became a better person. [7] Maybe I’m just jaded.
I don't know, do you like hanging out with beautiful women? If not then I guess it's not worth your time
I do but not for more than like 5 hours a week honestly. I was seeing this girl who would come over on Saturday and not want to leave until late Sunday evening. After about 3 weeks of that I was done. So hot though.
Exactly!!! It's like relationship get in my way
lol? relationships are the ONLY THING worth time in life.
If that’s the way you analyze your life then no
Time is the most precious resource. Not thinking about it is just being oblivious to reality.
Time in it of itself is worthless. It’s the things we do with it
If you think you could spend the next 10+ year with that person, definitely a yes. Else, just have some fun and leave asap.
Gotta find the right person. If you are with the wrong person, it feels like a waste. I’ve been there. I enjoyed a year off with no one to bother me. Now I’m getting back with someone and we see one another for 8 hours awake/16 Hours of sleep. Haha.
Confirmed jaded.
I suppose that's why they say to find someone you have a lot in common with, so the time you spend with them is enjoyable. If you're time isn't enjoyable then you only have 1000hrs time per year. If your time is enjoyable with shared interests, then you have 3000hrs per year. A logical partner is okay with you spending time to develop yourself, or work on hobbies. It's better if you can share the experience with them, but not required.
Relationships can be the best thing in the world and can also be a great waste of time. Question is what do you find?
I don't think your math is a good way to make this decision. Would you rather have a childhood with a best friend or two that you could trust with you life or would you prefer to have only not so close friends and acquaintances? That's what you are asking.
I think you probably know why you’re not in a relationship, Mr. Jordan Peterson.
I don’t like that guy. I’m actually in a relationship.
Probably not for you then. I think you just haven’t found that person, yet.
