I figured it would be interesting/ enlightening to hear from users who have found happy relationships in modern society and how they met. I know how much we love to make hating posts on the stupidity of modernity, but posts from guys that have successfully found stable relationships despite the cultural zeitgeist is just as important/ informative.

Met my wife in college like 16 years ago. Basically revealed my power level from the get-go - never bothered to soften or keep my opinion to myself. Wasn't really a plan so much as I wasn't really into her in the beginning because I had a particular type and she wasn't it. Establishing a relationship based upon brutal honesty has been good, I think in the long term. Now that we're getting older she can believe me when I say I think she's attractive in contrast to the times I've told her she looks like shit.
Also I can call her retarded niggerfaggot, so I've got that going for me.
I'm not interested in a relationship without complete honesty and a good sense of humor, but it will take some convincing of the utility of that for the average person, who is increasingly retreating into puerile fantasy.
