I don't think there is something wrong with telling someone you are an anarchist as long as you are sensible about it. I think you did the right thing with presenting Mises, because it establishes to her one of your interests. In a way, who you are. Now I would say, let her discover more by herself, if she likes it and overtime you notice that she does [ by asking questions ] then you answer her. If she doesn't like it and you want to base your relationship to some degree on politics [ which is fine ] then you tried and it simply didn't work out. I think the point you need to know is try networking at locations where people are like minded. People who enjoy the things you do [ not everything of course ].

No.  Just find some other things to talk about.  Weather, music, travel, food, entertainment.  Listen to her.  Find out what she likes.

Nah, no such thing. Just move to a topic that WILL get her thinking in that way about you. Nothing intellectual.

What's the point of having a relationship with a woman? There are more efficient ways to get laid.

In fact you can say thousands of lies to get into a girl's heart, and marry her. Many cultures(like mine, for example) even support it.

Giles, what do you have against anarchists?

Most economists at GMU are not anarchists, therefore, Giles cannot support anarchism. Lol :p

Leeson is arguably an anarchist, albeit a consequentialist one.

Leeson isn't arguably an anarchist. Leeson IS an anarchist.

Say what? Mention it briefly if she asks. Don't dwell on it until she's fascinated with the idea, and with you.

Because that's the sole reason to have a relationship?

So you treat women as if they are a pure mechanical sex machine? Wow, and I get called a chauvinist for holding a Biblical complementarian view of men and women.

If I want a rational intelligent discussion, I'll talk to my friends, or come here. If I want to debate a socialist, or a monetarist, I'll visit my professors during their office hours. Girls today are interested in facebook, TMZ, and getting fucked up. There's one thing that separates them from my friends.... Now, of course I'm generalizing, there are always exceptions.

Being pessimist can really drag a relationship and your sexual perfomance, the ideal man must be always capable of cracking a smile in the gloomest situation.

Women are a waste of time and resources, imo. Have fun but don't take them seriously. Don't buy into the myth that you need to be with somebody in order to be normal and for god sakes don't fall into the trap that is the "american dream".  You know, I'm human. I get lonely sometimes, but I have lots of friends and a decent social life. I don't feel like dating one bore after another just to find that one jewel. It's tedious.

Well, being in a relationship, is the most intimate feeling. Even though it isn't necessary, it certainly is in high demand. Women are like capital.

The productivity of partnership, the comfort of intimacy, the joy of love, and the security and fulfillment of family.
