The discussion revolves around the complexities of choosing a life partner based on various factors such as family background, physical attraction, and financial stability. Participants debate whether it's better to marry someone from a good family background, a wealthy partner, or someone who is physically attractive but comes from a broken home. Many emphasize that marriage should not be based solely on superficial qualities or financial benefits, suggesting that true love and emotional connection are paramount. Concerns are raised about the long-term viability of relationships based on physical attraction alone, with some participants arguing that a strong friendship and mutual understanding are essential for a successful marriage. The conversation also highlights the importance of being ready for marriage and not making decisions based on external pressures or societal expectations. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards prioritizing genuine emotional bonds over material considerations or physical allure.

Well it does involve complex analysis with lots of singularities. One has to be able to distinguish between real and imaginary, and focus on one's conjugate.George Jones said:You mean there is more involved than a multi-variable max/min problem with constraints?

I know I'm trying hard to be a decent person. But since even now I think with my nadgers, it's not easy. I hope I've matured beyond certain Earthly concerns, and learned to look at "love" unbound, but sadly I'm as mortal as the next man and sexual chemistry counts for a lot. I think you just trust that given enough time wisdom intercedes despite the things that make you merely an animal. But there is still just someone that makes you go OMFG! And lose your ability to think rationally. It's a rocky road.
