The so-called Quirkyalone

I would just like to start off by saying, I absolutely hate sterotypes and everything that comes with them. While I realize that they are inevitable because we live in a world full of shallow cliques and judgemental groups, it would be nice to think that someday that would all change. As far as this group of people who refer to themselves as the Quirkyalone, it seems nothing more than an excuse to be unhappy and to constantly compare their friends relationships to those in movies and on tv. They have idea what real love is and everything they do know comes from some off-the-wall hopelessly romantic movie like Beauty and the Beast.

The the Quirkyalone website she goes on to say, "For the quirkyalone, there is no patience for dating just for the sake of not being alone. On a fine but by no means transcendent date we dream of going home to watch television. We would prefer to be alone with our own thoughts than with a less than perfect fit. We are almost constitutionally incapable of casual relationships." I myself find this to be completly ridiculous. To fall in love you must first go through several immature, casual, even terrible relationships. Then when you finally find your soulmate, you have no doubt that your love is pure. You appreciate the person completely for who they are and who they make you when your with them. But without first having those "less than perfect dates" you wouldn't have the appreciation for a perfect date when it actually happened.
