"Mr. Quintero said he pursued Ms. Babai because he believed in making choices to find love: "It doesn't just happen.""

I always assumed the Times nuptials section was aimed at people like me to hate-read and hate-share.
Like, no way would they share the love story of two nonwhite non-Ivy League grads without the stalker element.

Yes, this is a Bluesky writeup, and yes, most of these people don't want you chuds to see their posts.

What the frick does therapy have to do with anything? Is this just the leftoid version of going to church or smth?

Yes, and like religionstrags they go because it gives their lives a narrative where they overcome the wrongs wrought by others.

Tried therapy. Within one session realized the foid was just going to make me tell myself what to do and to start doing it. Which is what a parent already does. Dropped out realizing I would be better off figuring it out by myself and should be able to as long as I can cut off all other connections long enough to fully recover. Successfully started improving but the foids in my life who knew started reeing about how I needed a therapist because I have been messed up for years.
I would have actually believed them and gone ahead with it but then the foid made the vital mistake of saying I was clearly doing better earlier and was doing worse now so I needed the therapist but far as I could tell I was actually doing far better than a month ago even now and the only thing that changed was that I told the foid I had stopped going to the therapist and was complaining to her about a frustration that day.
Women are unironically so bad at emotional labor ( Listening to somebody else have a bad day ) that their first and only solution is to tell you to go get a therapist.
It is also how I for the first time observed in built narratives in people. The moment foid conflates therapy = good now any man who is not in therapy is going to be seen as doing bad because now she has a therapy will save you bias.
This is why first impressions matter. The average normie will put you in a box and then have all their opinions be biased towards that box until and unless you change completely to the point that it is impossible to put you into that box again.
And I reiterate again, foids today are so shit at emotional labor that the average dramanaut is a better listener that the average foid.

Well this person must really know a lot about life, let's see what I can learn from her. 100,000 karma in 1 year... huh. Get to page two of her comments and already:
I wonder why she enjoys being catty about other women's weddings so much?

This is hilarious, there's no way NYT wrote this not knowing every person will think this dude is a giant simp. But the broad who wrote it is just on some wedding beat
so she's playing along so she gets invited to fancy upperclass weddings to cover + the girl can say "we had an NYT journo cover our wedding" just for the journo to subtly make it out like he's a creep

Four years is insane and r-slurred. However I once threw a Road House watch party in memory of Patrick Swayze after he died for the singular purpose of indirectly asking over some cutie I worked with and it worked

Jokes aside, it wasn't ever a book worth reading for the plot or deep themes. It was always for the prose, which was quite interesting for its time (and basically a masterpiece by current-day standards). It's depressing pulp romance slop with a class-warfare slant to it, but still somehow better than any popular book released in the last 20 years. If you wanted a masterful story with genuine literary kino, there are dozens of English-language books written in the same time period that mog it to oblivion.

Gatsby didn't try to attract a random woman he'd seen, but his old flame he was too poor to marry. (mirroring Fitzgerald's own experience with Ginevra King but he just became a terminal alcoholic instead of a cool bootlegger)
