No, it doesn't. I'm surprised you care how I view human nature. Saying my views are cynical, though, is a little like saying it's sad the reason the earth rotates around the sun isn't because the earth loves the sun so much, it wants to curl around it.

What matters isn't whether I'm cynical or dry or cold, etc.; what matters is whether I'm right, and if not, why not.

FWIW, you're wrong.

You missed the part about why not.

This bit. Might be applicable for recruiting but not for dating. Perhaps in some cases but by no means all or even close to all. And for someone who claims not to date, I'm not sure you're even qualified to make such a bold statement.

[bambax]

Didn't say I never dated -- I don't date because I'm married. And you don't need to be a lobster yourself to be able to observe how lobsters live, feed, mate.

Also, I thought I was saying something pretty much uncontroversial; I'm surprised people go out of their way to say it's "bold" and "sad". Really, it's neither.

[enneff]

Only if you have a depressingly cynical view of human relationships.
