In reply to pugman, I think an unofficial relationship sub-forum must already exist in "Off-Topic". I stumbled on another of the "secret" threads today:
Can poverty really impact on love?So first off, OP starts by asking this heart-wrenching question, probably because he invested everything he possibly could into Bitcoin (or worse, some crappy alt-coins) in December:
I am really wondered, what if I became poor. Will my girlfriend stay with me? I want to know if a person became poor, what will be his love life? Does it remain same? Guys give your opinion. I am really confused and not having a good time.
You know, until he mentioned it, I didn't think he was confused at all. But since he apparently read one of the threads about Bitcoin going to zero, and sold all his crypto holdings for a massive loss, he's trying to figure out how to explain to the GF why the utilities are getting turned off tomorrow, and very concerned that she's going to leave. So... apart from the first obvious mistake of coming here for relationship advice, let's see how many kinds of bad advice it's possible to receive in one thread. Let's start with shahadut_s232, who started off with a real positive outlook:
yes, poverty really impact on love.Life is beautiful if you have love but love is not stay with you without money.Money is very important thing for us.Man can do everything if he has lot of money.Love is not for poor only rich people but some of love relation don't depends on money.
So from the sounds of it, our first friendly advice comes from a bloke who is either insanely rich with blonde busty babes hanging off each arm, or a poor, lonely, desperate bounty hunter. I checked his post history and... aww crap. Poor guy.
Poverty will not have too much impact on love because love is not fully seen from the treasure. Precisely with the test of poverty will be seen people who really love us and do not. The power of love will get rid of bad thoughts about poverty.
So insightful... "love is not fully seen from the treasure". And finishing, of course, with a line that must have been inspired by Celine Dion... "the power of love will... get rid of bad thoughts about poverty." But... now I'm confused. What's the difference between good and bad thoughts about poverty? Anyway... this next quote really got me thinking:
Poverty will starve love, so love will have bread.
I am the love first person, because the poor break up that is not true love.
There are literally no words for whatever the heck that was supposed to mean. However, a quick search of his post history reveals he is a lowly signature campaignee, and his posts are fairly consistently 2 lines with similar confidently confusing lingo.
As a sampling (emphasis mine)
I don't think eth can go down to $50 because it costs $200 to dig the mine.
So I think it's a good time to build stocks in batches.
Encryption is hard to read and unpredictable. I'm not going to lie and I'm starting to fear that the market won't recover.
I think if you have some good COINS, long-term holding can help you make money, just forget the current price and wait patiently for a long time.
I think a lot of people have this experience. My biggest mistake was selling XRP for $1 last year, which went up to $2.50 in a week.
We can't predict the price of the password, so keep a good attitude when trading.
If you want to invest in counterfeit currency, it is better to do some research before investment or query, to see if the project has great potential for development, we all know that a potential project will bring huge benefits for us.
So we can see that zhanghoqi5 is obviously firing on all cylinders. Anyway, let's stop chasing this rabbit trail and head back to open waters. Next up, dogz12 gets real about poverty:
An empty stomach can eat away the love you feel for one another. Lets face it, financial stability is a must in a relationship. Girls would look for a guy who will love them but also feed them. If you really love a person then you must strive hard in life to show them that you can support her not just emotionally but also financially.
So my understanding from this is that if you get hungry enough, your stomach will resort to consuming your emotions for sustenance. Next up is summerbloom, who decided to add a little bit to what dogz12 had to say:
the poverty can really impact of love ?yes because love fill your heart, but without money its dose'nt fill your stomack ,im not talking about some insane amount of money ,not a kind of murder a person by the judge in walk out of freely,,no..im talking about the subtanial amout of money which should be able to provide your life partner from comportable life,,
I got lost somewhere around "murder". I think for all of our safety, I'm going to move along to the next post, where mark025 chimes in with his sage advice:
Yes because one's you can not provide to your wife/gf her needs specially basic needs. It will be the end of your relationship. Most of the people now is more practical in choosing their partner in life. They choose person with no looks but have stable jobs and they can provide their needs. rather to a handsome with no work and cannot take responsibilities.
Welp, I hope Mark never feels it necessary to post pictures of himself on here, because apparently he's NOT a looker. Next, Tharel brings a more serious note to the conversation:
Poverty impact on love if only the girl(which in most cases are after material things) or boy are looking for money and not for companionship. it sad to think that couples stay with each other because of money. it's like they are selling their bodies in exchange of materials things which is so cheap and nonsense.
Sooo... is he saying his girlfriend is a cheap prostitute?
Well, before I get lost in that rabbit trail, let's see what amir_h122722 has to say:
Initially poverty occurs a bad impact on love. But true love never die. It's ever green. It shouldn't matter whom I love and who is he and is poor or rich. Love is an ethical and suddenly happens. Nobody knows when we fall in love. We can't control from us cause it's from the Almighty. Though love has a bad impact but a real love always comes to truth.
Next, a legendary member decided to grace this thread with his presence. Let's see what his eminence has to offer:
I am not saying that poor people should not love. But money is the most important thing in life, and without it you may not be able to fulfill 99.99% of your dreams. If you really want to love someone and is serious about the relationship, then work hard and save some money while doing it.
Sooo... I'm guessing Sithara007 does NOT believe in the power of love.
Well, that brings us to the end of page 2... out of 8.
I guess you'll have to read the rest for yourself.
