Plato

In his dialogue The Symposium, Plato has Aristophanes present a story about soul mates. Aristophanes states that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. He continues that there were three genders: man, woman and the "Androgynous". Each with two sets of genitalia with the Androgynous having both male and female genitalia. The men were children of the sun, the women were children of the earth and the Androgynous were children of the moon, which was born of the sun and earth. It is said that humans had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. The gods were then faced with the prospect of destroying the humans with lightning as they had done with the Titans but then they would lose the tributes given to the gods by humans. Zeus developed a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for humanity's pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. These split humans were in utter misery to the point where they would not eat and would perish so Apollo had sewn them up and reconstituted their bodies with the navel being the only remnant harkening back to their original form. Each human would then only have one set of genitalia and would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that.[3]

Nope. I don't trust anything that can bleed for a week and not die!

**Lunk1** · 03-31-2014, 01:47 PM

NO! I believe that we can choose to be happy with whoever we are with or we can choose to be unhappy. I don't think that there is that ONE person that roams the earth and we are either fortunate enough to bump in to them or we go through live miserable.

100% agree.

**Hazard** · 03-31-2014, 02:19 PM

I don't know if I believe in soul mates or not..... We fall in love over and over and over. I don't think you can have that connection with anyone but I think there's a good amount of people out there that you couldn't live without once you got to know them and develope a loving relationship with.

I've found the one I can't live without. Didnt think it would happen but it did

Damn it!!!!! I have to agree with lunk again.

**Bigshotvictoria** · 03-31-2014, 02:32 PM

Nah. To me a soul-mate implies fate, a master plan. That's just not in my world view.

**Rwy** · 03-31-2014, 02:57 PM

No.

You obviously have to be in love with the person but it really comes down to, two people being able to put up with each others shit.

**ghettoboyd** · 03-31-2014, 03:03 PM

well I guess im the odd man out on this subject...its ok though cus im probably happier than most...

**Venom** · 03-31-2014, 03:11 PM

**Black** · 03-31-2014, 03:30 PM

I jerk off better with my left hand than my right. And I'm right handed.

**Venom** · 03-31-2014, 03:35 PM

I think I'm half ambidextrous or I was dropped on my head.

I write with my right hand, golf righty, pretty much do everything with my right hand except for throwing a ball, same with boxing, and jerking it, I'm left hand dominant with those.

We just celebrated 22 years and we are happier than ever...I still don't believe it was a twist of fate. We have committed to love one another even through times when we didn't get along so well. It has not all been roses nor do I feel like we were in some way meant to be together. We simply have learned to do the things that couples must do to succeed. Trust, forgive, tolerate, share, appreciate, sacrifice etc.

If both ppl in a relationship love each other enough to make it work, then it will. It has nothing to do with fate.

Could It be that fate is what brought you to the one person you're willing to do all this for? I mean there's a reason why if it's possible to make any relationship work that you only decide to make one relationship work. I hope my question makes sense lol

What about those who meet someone and have a perfect life and relationship but lose their partner through death. Then they meet someone else and have the same feelings?

**David LoPan** · 03-31-2014, 04:56 PM

Yes but not just one. Think that there is a lot of soul mates out there for each of us. Just hard to find one that you can put up with their crap.

Worked a nursing home. A couple had been married for like 45 years when she died. He became the nursing home favorite guy. Dude had more cases of STD than I have ever seen. He told me that he never cheated on his wife but "now she is dead I have to find another soul mate and the best way is having sex with them to find out".

**Hazard** · 03-31-2014, 04:59 PM

^^^^ lmfao

**slfmade** · 03-31-2014, 05:06 PM

I do believe in soul mates. I mean there's obviously a reason that craigslist has the "casual encounters" section right? LOL Seriously though, I believe there's a person out there for everyone that is our predestined soul mate.

On the other hand, I think there's many who you can be happy with and make a long lasting successful relationship. Just because you never found your soul mate doesn't make it impossible to find and enjoy love and a lasting relationship.

For instance....you and you're body may have been made to run Primo, but for whatever reason you never got a chance to use it. Either your source didn't have it available, the timing wasn't right, it was too expensive(just like a lot of women), whatever. Just because you didn't get a chance to meet Ms. Primo doesn't mean that you're not completely content and happy with tren . Hell, you may even LOVE tren, but may not be as right for you as primo.

That was the biggest meat head analogy of all time.....

I agree with you and well said by the way...I never looked at being solemates as destiny or whatever I actually feel very lucky to have found someone who wants and loves the same things...but I hear you it is work sometimes for both...

**Lunk1** · 03-31-2014, 05:38 PM

A bit off topic but, I have began to notice that my single friends who I used to be jealous of because they were always dating different girls are actually miserable and jealous because they spend each relationship, wasting time, looking for what I already have.

It's funny how perception changes.

Hmm. To many thought to process into type.
I love my wife but I have been better sexually matched with other women. And I often think about them or her. Every thing else was a disaster but the love making would stand out in my memory so strongly I can hardly remember an argument. If I could instill this intensity into my wife I believe I would be the happiest man alive. Because sex largely rules my mind. If I could get my wife to think like me or even close. That would be amazing.
I'm probly of topic a bit but these are the things that glue us together for the long haul.

+1 for me too.

**ngtmarpete** · 03-31-2014, 07:21 PM

For those that do know believe, it just means you have not found that 'one.' When you do, you will know. You can choose to love someone, but it has to come from within to be fully passionate and in love with someone.

Not really..... I've never felt this way about anyone before. She's DEFINATELY the one for me.... We both strive to do things for each other. We're a team and I can't picture it being like this with anyone else.

Priceless.

**GirlyGymRat** · 03-31-2014, 08:09 PM

I think there are men I am more attracted to physically. Some ppl I clink with / compliment each other. Soul mate?

@noon. Sexually compatibility is important between couples and altho can't be the only common thread or basis for relationship, I think it better be satisfying to both partners. Bad sex isn't gonna soften those speed bumps for long.

The rub seems to be the frequency. Men are hard wired for more.

Only Neo is, the one.

I'm not exactly sure but then by what standards would you consider the first partner your soul-mate?

My thought was that without the death..... you seemingly would have been together forever.

**austinite** · 03-31-2014, 09:54 PM

7 Billion people. Say half are broads. That leaves 3.5 Billion. Say half of that are unavailable, too young, etc... that leaves 1.75 Billion people.

60% are Asian. 40% are Chinese and Indian. Where's your soul mate?

Do you really believe that you are so darn lucky, the stars lined up and your soul mate happened to sit next to you in high-school, went to the same college, etc etc ?

LOL.
