We had quite a few comments on our previous article This is why you can’t date the French, as well as requests to expand this topic. We will. And here is our first follow-up, ZenPolitic’s answer to the comments received to our first article on the topic. Do send us suggestions, we are excited to help you discover the little secrets that make the French lifestyle still a mystery to other cultures.

There is no future in politics.

I feel like all my articles should begin this way. It’s a necessary refresher, because it affects everything. There are a few more thoughts on the “dating is politics” subject that I probably should share. Yes, it’s a reply to many comments received on the last article.

You don’t need dating in order to meet interesting people. That’s called socializing, not dating. Meeting interesting people has nothing to do with whether or not you subject yourself to the ridiculous games and processes involved in dating. It has to do with the kind of crowd you hang out with, the kind of people you attract into your life as a general rule, all of which is wholly dependent on the kind of person that you are. Like attracts like.

You cannot say that Libertarianism, or politics for that matter, are responsible for the reason why people in the west seem to have a problem with mingling. There is no future in politics, but out of all the things that it has an influence on, your political convictions or those of a country’s population as a general doesn’t affect whether or not you date, or how often.

Things like socio-economics, life values and religion play just as much of a role in any other western first-world country as they do in the United States as far as determining whether someone is a suitable life partner or not. Again, this is just missing the point, or having the wrong ideas as to what truly is involved in human interaction and connection.

“Poking our lego parts around before finding someone we connect to” is what everyone instinctually have done anyway, anywhere, at any point in time and history. We also have always been so different. You would think that, in a melting-pot culture, it would be easier to find someone amazing since the options are so much more diversified than those in a more “stratified culture”?

I’d argue that it’s all on the contrary. In a stratified culture, you’re coerced socially into certain values. It’s much more difficult to be true to yourself, to have your own ideas about the world and to change them without feeling some serious peer pressure. In a melting pot, you are free. Again, like attracts like. The more YOU you are, the more people who are like you will find you. Social bonds and circles are more free to form according to the path of least resistance. There are much less expectations from others that you must live up to.

All you are left with is yourself.

And in all honesty, I’d even be willing to bet that France’s culture is just as much of a melting pot as the United States, as the entire Eurozone has had it’s borders open to the world for some time now, and most countries within it have proven to be in some cases much more Liberal and loving of diversity. How’s that gay marriage thing going? Trans rights?

No wonder the West dates.

They’re still having trouble figuring out how they’re going to legally allow certain people to love each other for the rest of their lives.
