Can Long Distance Relationships Work?

[Red Hood]

I've tried. I can't do it.

 

[Philosophy Zombie]

Long-distance relationships can work if the man in the relationship is uncircumcised because the man can gradually stretch his foreskin more and more until it covers the distance of up to hundreds of miles between him and his partner so the partner can sexually interact with it.

I have heard in rare cases the clitoral hood may be able to stretch that far, but generally it cannot, so as a rule lesbian long distance relationships do not work, and I would caution against trying unless one is African because the clitoris may fall off.

 

[Internet_Loner]

Yes, been in one for nearly three years. Just keep contact steady and tabs on their online profiles.

 

[Sissy]

If your end goal is ending up getting bloodied and bashed, and possibly homeless, then yeah they can work that way.

 

[ArnoldPalmer]

Short answer: No.

Long Answer: Yes, if you have money for travel, and the distance is temporary, as in, a date on a calendar. That and you should probably worry a lot that this person is likely out fucking other people, doubly so if they're female.

 

[AnOminous]

There are a lot of issues in this and, just to go into them a bit [10,000 words deleted] short answer no.

 

[Wraith]

My guess is it depends on the character of the two people. Can their declared "lurv" translate into loyalty and not screwing around on each other when they are apart?
The reason why I figure this is military wives. I cannot tell you how many stories I have heard of guys out on the battlefield, and many Amerifat wives and girlfriends being absolute scum and committing adultery. In times past that behavior was condemned, so it did happen, just not as much. So it's probably all character-based.
However it can't stay long distance forever. You don't want to be on your death bed at age eighty and your forty year relationship with HotSexyMomma2018 is a thousand miles away having stayed chaste as she cares for her eighty cats and one parakeet named Lucifer.

Yes, they work best for neurodivergent people.

 

[Medici]

Yeah, if you both are willing to wait and are close enough y'all should be fine really. I've seen it work, it's definitely not impossible.

 

[Nazi vegeta]

it can work but it takes committment and honesty.
so it's very hard, especially for women who change their mind, 10 times a day.

and there's also the fact that one of the 2 can just disappear, without having to explain anything to the other and all you can do is take the L and move on.

You seem to have issues with women...

who me?
No, I have issues with people who tell you one thing and then act in the complete opposite way.
especially if they are older than me and are supposed to be more ''mature'' mentally.
online you really cant read bodylanguage and other things, so if a person tells you something, all you can do is trust him/her and hope for the best, especially if he/she lives far from you.

 

[Bassomatic]

No, I have issues with people who tell you one thing and then act in the complete opposite way.

That is called women.

 

[Nazi vegeta]

That is called women.

lol, true.
that's why online relationships cant work, in my opinion.

plenty of people to meet irl, no need to complicate your life even more.

 

[Christopher Robin]

To consider yourself “dating” someone that you’ve only ever met on the Red Sox wiki discord or whatever is pretty silly to me. I don’t care if you mutually masturbate every night and talk for 4 hours a day. It’s fine to meet people that way but to keep it going for months on end without ever meeting in person, and then to consider yourself as in a long distance relationship is :autism:.

Maybe if you met up for a long weekend once and then went back to your respective homes I’d be more inclined to call it an actual relationship. But until then, you are just two people texting in my eyes. They have the potential to eventualy go out, but until they meet irl, it is not a thing and you cannot consider them your boyfriend/girlfriend.

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

I met Mrs BadAss in London on a trip with mutual friends, we hit it off and kept in contact. We lived on opposite sides of the country and it wasn’t until a couple weeks after the trip and constant flirting via text she asked if I was single.

We met up again that Christmas and after two years of a LDR she came up to live with me while she was at university. We’ve been together eight years at this point and living together for six of those. The journey was long but the head I get was worth it.

I've tried. I can't do it.

Try harder.

Who doesn't? Even women can't stand women.

most vicious fights I've ever seen, were between women. anectodal I know, but I think there's truth to it.

Yea, that doesn't surprise me. Neuroticism's a bitch.

I think that in general it's possible for long distance relationships to work, but how the hell do people form meaningful romantic relationships on kiwi farms, where it's constantly emphasized not to divulge any personal information?

If any purportedly female member here expressed any interest in me, I'd assume I was being catfished.
