Do you believe in soulmates?

[DipDipDive]

Well?

I don't know if I do or not. I like the idea, but a part of me thinks the idea is just something we as humans have developed in order to feel less alone.

Discuss.

Edit: Something went wacky when I was entering my poll options which were going to be either "yes" or "no". Sorry. :o

[monkey]

yes. only because ive seen it at work. :o

[mickill]

Shouldn't you be like, "I don't know if I do or not, so fuck you"?

And of course there's no such thing as soulmates, DipDipShit. Pull your head out of your ass.

[DipDipDive]

Elaborate on that, plzthnx.

And you can feel free to elaborate, too, numbnuts.

ok...

i think soulmates are people you have in your life, through every life, that help mold you, better you, change you, and make you a person of substance. in that respect, everyone has a whole buncha soulmates.
but it's not just that. a soulmate knows about you before you know yourself. a soulmate thinks the way you think, because your spirits had similar experiences your past lives. to that extent, a soulmate is your mind's equal. and it may not be a person you're in a physical relationship for the rest of your lives, but you are in an emotional realtionship forever. my parents, i believe, are soulmates. i'd like to think i just found mine too.

[paulb]

i dont believe in soulmates.

[beastieangel01]

no.

The term "soul mate" I always found kind of silly. Mainly because I've seen plenty of examples of those who say they are soul mates, and have a very passionate relationship at first then it burns out, badly, a year or more down the road. Sometimes sooner.

I believe in being best friends with someone, and loving them, and then I get to have sex with them too. That's awesome (y)

something along thoses lines!
i believe in soul mates,or soul connection (y)

[mickill]

Because, you stupid idiot, as you've already mentioned, it's just something that people made up to make themselves feel less pathetic for being alone. Like, you just haven't met "the one" yet, "your one true love", "the one that shall complete you" and all that other crap that Hollywood, tv, romance novels, soaps, sitcoms, older siblings, random douchebags, classmates, kll, Robin Williams and that guy at thet ice cream shop you went to for advice as a tween tell you.

All that happens is you meet someone you dig one day and figure you may as well hang onto them. That's all there is to it. There's no magic involved. It's always gonna take a lot of work anyway.

[DipDipDive]

Yeah man. Part of the reason that term screams bullshit to me is because the people who use it seem to enjoy advertising the fact that they're soulmates, almost as if they're talking themselves into believing that it's true. I don't know. I definitely believe in the idea of finding your mental/emotional counterpart, but I also think that people change and evolve so much through out their lives that finding a true equal to your soul, something that transcends any sort of physical existence, seems almost impossible. Or perhaps I'm just taking the term too literally. Or perhaps even still, the tryptophan is making me deliriously introspective and I just need to go to sleep.

[Monsieur Decuts]

I like to think that the term itself doesn't mean that there is only one "soulmate" out there, people tend to grab that meaning from the term.
I think there's a class of people out there who remain extremely compatible to one's own personality and so they are your soulmates. I come from a small town where everyone knew everyone and people gravitated to friends who were like them, the clicks were formed because people shared common traits. I extend this to relationships.

I even think that two people can be soulmates but can have external factors that ruin the affair. Being soulmates doesn't mean life long love, because the soul is only one piece of a human being.

[DipDipDive]

Eh...

I'd like to think there's a happy medium between finding your TRUE SOULMATE WHOSE LIFE COMPLETES YOURS AND WHO YOU COULDN'T CONTINUE BREATHING WITHOUT and someone you figure you can tolerate spending the rest of your life with. The former seems a little delusional and the latter seems like a waste of time.

[paul jones]

I believe in Michael Bolton's 'Soul Provider' song


what a song!

[QueenAdrock]

There's billions of people in the world, by someone saying that they found their soul mate, and amazingly, they found them in the first 20 years of their lives without even travelling, is beyond me. Do they honestly think that out of 6 billion people, the one that they found in their home town was "meant to be"? I think that's naive.

I believe there must be a handful of people pefect for each person out there. I found someone who thinks like I do, knows all about me, makes me laugh, and is my absolute best friend. Is he my "soul mate"? Who knows? I haven't met all the men in the world, so it's impossible to say whether or not he's the one that was meant for me. But am I absolutely happy with him and don't want to try looking for someone else? Yes. He completes me, and that's the most I ask for.

I find it silly when people break up after 2 years because they weren't sure if there was someone out there that was supposed to be. My one friend said she loved her boyfriend, but what if there was someone out there she could love even more? That's sorta selfish. There are girls out there who don't have anyone to love, and would kill for a relationship like my friend had. Anyways, she broke up with the guy and has had a hard time finding someone she connects with. Moral of the story - if you're happy, and don't WANT anyone else, that should be enough. Don't worry about finding your kindred spirit, because there's a good chance you'll never even meet them or they don't exist, or they're with another broad. If you're happy, that's all you need.

[ToucanSpam]

Actually, I believe in two things related to 'souls'.


First, I believe in soulmates. It's totally possible that there is someone out there who is your perfect match. However, its so random who it is, you are likely to never find them, given that there are six billion people. Now, I know a lot of people meet people they claim to be 'soulmates' with, and I won't go there because I don't want to offend them. It's very unlikely you will meet them, let's jsut say that.

Second, I believe in something called a 'twinsoul'. Basically, for every person, there is another (could be male or female, like a soul mate) who, personality wise, you are attracted to but not in a sexual way. This person is your best friend, or close to it, and they will always be there for you in some manner, be it in front of you or spiritually.

[Loppfessor]

Do you guys think they have to be of the opposite sex? I believe in soul mates but not necessarily in a romantic sense. I think the closest thing I have to a soul mate is my best friend for the past 12 years. He knows and understands me better than anyone else.

That's what I call a twinsoul.


Usually the 'soul mate' is the one you are romantically linked with, while the twinsoul is your go-to-guy/gal.

But they do not have to be the opposite sex.

okay then I guess he's my twin soul.....perhaps everyone does have a soul mate out there then but I think the vast majority of people never actually find them

[ChrisLove]

- To the people saying they hope you have more than one soulmate - you cant its a contradiction. What you are thinking of is someone you really like and yes you will be pleased to hear there are lots of those.

- I dont believe in a soul let alone that it has a mate

- A lot of people in this thread watch too much tv.

- Love is not a magical event and can be achieved between pretty much an two people if the willingness to work at it is there. The source of the willngness is generally mutual attraction and some common ground. //if you go around believeing that you are going to meet a magical frog/prince dude or dudess and all will be sunsets and romance, you are probably going to be very disapointed. In fact you ill probably be one of those stupid chicks that stays with crappy abusive boyfriends because 'he loves me'.

- love takes work but its worth it.

- that is all - next.

[QueenAdrock]

Seriously. My one friend watches WAY too many movies, and when I hook her up with a very nice guy who makes her laugh, she breaks it off after 2 dates because "It wasn't meant to be." She's got an unrealistic view of men and relationships though. I think she believed he was supposed to jet her off in his convertible to the nearest beach, where a packed dinner and a fancy bottle of wine would be, and they would stare into each others' eyes and contemplate life. Get real. Relationships have their romantic parts, but there's also the "Bitch, did you put my lucky hat in the washer?" parts. Movies don't show REAL relationships, they show the magical fartsy crap that happens less frequently than they happen.

[alexandra]

i believe there's someone for everybody. 3nd.

[TonsOfFun]

I prefer 2ManyDJ's...

[Vic Colfari]

Introduced in 1961, Coffee-Mate entered the market as the 1st non-dairy powdered creamer and soon established its position as America’s most popular non-dairy creamer.

Coffee vs. Soul

[TonsOfFun]

I didn't know coffee-mate was non-dairy. I thought it was powdered milk. Still horrible tasting shit.

I think they call the second one a 'friend,' dumbass.

Did the Olsen twins make it over there? They're like new millenium's Double Mint twins.

oh yes. we were spared the complete media whitewash, but got the show, the movies etc.....

[Echewta]

Yes. I do. But soulmates can change and suddenly not be soulmates which kinda blows because soulmates are suppose to be forever or something.

[Freebasser]

Yup.

[roosta]

its such a load of shite.

theres people you like, people you love, people you hate and other people.
"soulmates" means nothing.

[Echewta]

Actually, only if I owned a hottub.

[Mr_Complex]

"Solemates" is a good name for a foot-fetish website. I might have to get it copyrighted.

I'm rich, bitches.

[miss soul fire]

That soulmate thing is pure marketing. Don't let aliens get you, please! :D

Anyway, I believe in compatibility.:)

MSF is my soulmate.

[befsquire]

i don't know that soulmates is the word i would use. i do believe there's someone out there that can love you exactly the way you want to be loved. is there more than one person that can do that? i don't know -- why would you look farther once you found one that is everything you want and need?

[QueenAdrock]

^Bingo.

It's amazing that Beth summed up my 3 paragraphs in 4 sentences.

That tends to happen though.

[iceygirl]

interesting topic that makes you want to have a live conversation instead of words on a screen

meh....i liked what pauli said, what lopp said, ddd, etc....

i have a best girlfriend who i have known for 26 years - mos def something huge there between us - my life would not have been/be the same without her

my husband - the same way

i dunno, who knows really? nobody ever will. beth was right too, when you have what you need and want, why keep looking? some people do though, i guess. people who start out thinking they found their 'soulmate' sometimes i think keep the fairytale thing in their heads and get frustrated when real life sets in and they honeymoon is over. living with someone else is never easy, nothing worthwhile ever is. people are strange now, the divorce rate is high, but i chalk a lot of that up to people thinking that love shouldnt be so hard to work at - its not the love that is hard to hold on to, it is taking care of your love and not taking it for granted.

its like a garden, ya see?

bleh. bye bye.

[cosmo105]

i used to. when i was younger. i'd like to think that something special brought my boyfriend and me together, and it really does feel like we were meant to each other...but i don't believe much in the whole "meant to be" thing, because, well, if something was meant to happen, it would happen. if i believed in soulmates, i'd definitely say he's it. but i don't really. so i'll just say in any case, i <3 him a whole lot and we're very compatible and have something really special and i've never been so happy or comfortable in my entire life...and that's all that really matters.

ok, my point is this. the threat title asks a question. cosmo answered it and used examples from her life to illustrate her point. now, if it was completely O/T i might understand your frustrations (but probably not), but she was completely in her rights to mention everything she did in her post.
