romance is really a business

Romantic relationships are really a business because each of the two participant is trying to get the most from the other person by giving them the least. They are also a negotiation and can culminate in a partnership and children. In fact, most romantic relationships are started, knowingly or not, to allow the couple to have children.

C.M. Fabara realized that contradicting the prevailing understanding of what romantic relationships and love are, romance is really a business where the man and the woman both work to get the most they can by giving the least to the other person. Of course, sometimes participants in a romantic relationship "fall in love" and start giving the most they can to the other person. However, their purpose is always to get the most in return. Also, keep in mind that love is basically need. And the way it works is by making individuals feel love for someone they calculate will be able to and will satisfy one or more of their needs, such as sex, protection, connections, etc.

Lifestyle Acuity

The degree to which individuals are able to live their life the way they choose to. To work at what they love to do, to be in a relationship with or married to the man or woman they want to be married to, to live where and how they want to live, etc.

After relocating to another state in the nation, working hard to achieve a higher mental and physical state and doing so, Charlie has been able to raise his Lifestyle Acuity far more and faster than he imagined. The only thing he has not found is an acceptable female companion, but he is optimistic and patient.

indoor running

Walking or running inside one's residence to break stagnation and improve digestion.

I did indoor running—especially at night, in the small house I rented in Pharr, Texas I moved my bed away from the wall and ran around the house daily.
