"What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

[Amatiramisu]

I'm a little bit sick of everyone in my family grooming and lecturing me to find some beautiful smart girlfriend when they also keep telling me to focus more on schoolwork and don't worry about girls especially after I've repeatedly expressed disinterest in talking to any of the women at UNLV.

[Phi]

Ah, yes. Typical parental contradictions.

I've experienced that way too often.

[Amatiramisu]

It's not just parents. Brothers, sisters, hell even my four year old niece is somehow convinced I need a girlfriend.

I don't. I don't care how hot those girls are. I don't care if they're educated. I just plain am not interested.
But you know, when my older brothers are obsessed with bitches n hoes, and my sister was trying to trap a guy through having a baby, and my parents are, well, married and worried about my future social life, it all adds up to me being antisocial and there's something wrong with me.

[Police Girl]

Nothing wrong with you, if you're just not interested you just aren't.

My parents tried to pull the same stuff if I mention a girl's name in passing like a co-worker or classmate as somebody I was talking to they would always say stuff like "Is she cute?". My reply was usually me getting flustered, but it eventually became "Why does that matter?".

I've already expressed severe disinterest in wanting to find a girlfriend, mainly because I don't want to get into a serious relationship, or any sort of relationship beyond friendship. Somehow, I think its the fact that my parent's basically got married around my age that they act like this.

[Quickman]

My mom still tries to set me up with people.

[Sakura Leic]

I feel so blessed that I don't have to deal with that crap, then again my mom married when she was like 28 or something.  Even then she wouldn't do this crap.

[irgpie]

My folks got hitched in their 30's and have never pestered me about starting a relationship. At least not seriously. They've contemplated if I'm gay which isn't far off the mark, but they're fine with whatever my preference is. My sis has been just as disinterested in relationships if not even more so. She's only 22 and I'm 19 so we've got plenty time. Everyone does. Parents that pressure their kids about that [parasitic bomb] in the mid-late teens really need to take it back a notch. Bad enough kids have to decide their career and by extent their entire life plan that early. Gotta slow down somewhere.

Companionship of varying levels and intimacy can be nice and all, but it's very, very overvalued by a lot of people and parents. It's not their place to decide for their children on it.

[Phi]

My parents don't really get involved in my business, when it involves women. Although, my sister, on the other hand, tends to push me towards a girl she thinks I'd like; especially an asian girl, since I used to be really into them. I used to look for the "hot ones", because my hormones were through the roof (back in junior high), but now, I'd just like a nice educated woman. If I have great chemistry with a woman I may meet one day, then we'll see where it goes. I'm in no rush.

I had three girls ask me out (on separate occasions, obviously) and I turned them down. And while I have dated before, I didn't feel that strong of a connection to them as I would've liked. So, I'll just keep waiting.

I may even meet someone "special" this year. Who knows.

Also, parents really shouldn't push their kids into finding someone. Last thing we need is yet another teen mom.

Wait, you're getting asked out by teenagers? Lucky.

[Sakura Leic]

He's 19 dude.

[xnamkcor]

He's 19 dude.

And he's young enough that it wouldn't be creepy to say yes.

It's funny (or frustrating?) that it's not my parents pestering me to get into a relationship... It's my colleagues.

That's also very common, though not as common for an adult than it is for a teen in high school.  I don't worry about that since I'm aloof as hell and prefer to have friends than boyfriends.  Plus I don't want kids myself.

[Phi]

If I ever have kids, I'd have 3 at the most. Definitely not one, because I'd want my child to have someone to play with.

And God that was kinda awkward to write. Talking about having children is just... I dunno, it's weird.

[Quickman]

If I had kids, I'd only have one.  Or, if I have two, they can't be close in age.

They plot. 

[Protoman Blues]

What's funny is, I'd have the exact opposite approach to parenting. I'd raise my child (especially my daughter) to believe that no one is good enough for them except the perfect one!

If manga has taught me anything, if they are different age, bad things happen.

[Dr. Wily II]

Funny, I still remember when I was like 3-5 years old, and I told my parents that I do not want to get married. >_>

[Phi]

I hope I don't end up like my half-brother, and have 7 kids (all boys).

I can't even imagine how stressful that would be. Being all boys makes it worse.

Holy [parasitic bomb], even if I prefer boys that's way too much.

[Quickman]

I'm upset that my Abra hunt isn't going as well as I'd like it to.  Runaway, go spread your musk and attract some Abras!

*Runaway starts dragging his butt through the grass.*

[Dr. Wily II]

If Pokemon is going to be talked about... You all know by now what I'm upset about. 8|

[Quickman]

The exact same thing I'm upset about and the sole reason for my Abra hunt.  Also, the same thing I'll be upset about when I start chain-breeding and destroying ecosystems.  As if depleting a wild population isn't enough. 8|

...Runaway, spraying the tree will deter wild Abras, as you're marking your territory and telling them to stay away.

[Dr. Wily II]

Depleting is not enough, dominance by a foreign species and the subsequent extinction of the native species... THAT is the climax. 8|
