<~GreatSage> from my observation, it appears that most romantic partners occupy their discussions with repetitive declarations and other uninteresting content
<&Cathy> lol
<&Cathy> sounds dull
<~GreatSage> i do not believe i have ever observed romantic partners discuss any consequential matters (e.g. mathematics, science, or other topics of intellectual interest)
<~GreatSage> the "normal social protocol" of romance has always presented as exceptionally absurd to me
<&Cathy> which aspects are you referring to?
<~GreatSage> it is rather difficult to summarize them in phrases
<~GreatSage> it's not something i have investigated with any thoroughness
