I swear to god I'm not going trad, but the more I think about it the dumber it seems to encourage young people to do some serial monogamy before partnering up — like people whose only practice is in explicitly disposable relationships would be any better at the real deal

Confused about the position you’re taking, but having been both a serial monogamist (5yrs longest ) and casual dater of pretty high caliber people.. both are really useful? Serious relationships teach you so much about even just physical intimacy ( like smells and sleep patterns)

And flings show you what there is and what you can have! (Like do you want someone who gives emotionally instead of negotiates) aren’t both the goal untill you know what you’re looking for?

Also anecdotally, funniest &saddest thing in “high caliber” dating circles is when bitches with like 3 degrees from ivy leagues (read me: down to work for status) settle for mediocre partners bc they don’t want to be alone.

Honestly, this whole string of tweets reads to me like a good example of precisely the error that ought to be avoided. By way of analogy: if you want to be a freelancer, by all means, freelance; it's not the best way to ultimately find or be a great co-founder.

It reminds me of this incident with a police officer who trained pistol disarms with his partner. When a suspect pulled a gun on him, he instantly disarmed him...and then handed the pistol back, because that's what he did with his partner during practice.
