The author looked for relationships to primarily get her:
1) Money
2) Someone who was perfect in the 'Disney' sense of never causing you any trouble.<p>She then concludes that relationships are a distraction from life's real goal of making money.<p>Given those two goals, I can't fault her for deciding that relationships are worthless, because they are only very, very rarely a good way to get your hands on money, and people of Disney level flawlessness just don't exist.<p>But those are really shitty, really selfish reasons to get into a relationship. If you are exclusively interested in only your own needs, of course your relationships will fail. There's no relating going on. It's only about you, and maybe money.<p>If you are, on the other hand, interested in being with and getting to know another human being, it is possible to have very fulfilling relationships. I would much rather my life be about that, than about pursuing a 15k per year raise.
She makes a lot of good points that relate to anyone on the forum who's wants to start a business/startup. "The real deal is that we need to take ownership of ourselves, and take it up a notch when it comes to personal responsibility."
I honestly got distracted by the format and gave up before I got too far into the content.<p>The article is a veritable cornucopia of formatting.
Just, wow.
