What's your opinion on soulmates?

I find the concept of soulmates really stupid. Why would anyone believe that in the entire planet there is only one right person for them? And what if they're in another country and speak another language? What if they never meet? Or you just define "soulmates" as two people that are good for each other? And if that's the case, why wouldn't you say "a good match" or "a matching couple"? I don't believe that two people are ever "meant to be together because that's destiny". No, it's not destiny, it's CHOICE. So why does such a large portion of the population believe in soulmates?

I'm the same. I don't think there is "soul mate". That's just a way for people to hide the fact that they blew it in they relationship. "He/she wasn't my soulmate", they say, and I say "You just didn't try harder, you coward."

In a biblical explanation, on the story of Adam and Eve, God took one rib of Adam and put the rib to Eve. Everyone of us has a soul mate. It is like looking for the missing rib for the guys and looking for the owner of her one rib for the girls.

We have many soulmates all around the world,but it's destiny that decides whom to meet.If we have no luck in love life,we never meet a soulmate.

Well we all have destinies, and therefore we all have a soul mate. But I don't like to beleive that our fate's and soulmate's fate is somehow entwined. We could end up with any random person in the world. Soul mate is just a term that you can tell your significant other to make them feel special and to get u some.
