Most of what you learn from relationships comes from interacting with whomever you happen to be dating. As you spend more time together, such interactions become more complex as a historical layer begins to unconsciously affect things. As the years go by and several relationships pass, patterns develop, and from these patterns generalizations regarding the sex of your partners suggest themselves, while love's euphoric magnanimity obfuscates and obliterates them. From these patterns, characteristic statements and reactions are generated and as time passes they become more complex and diverse. As a consequence, if you rarely date anyone, you set yourself up for sincere misfortune while engaging in the act of dating, for your lack of understanding of these statements and their corresponding reactions will leave you consistently confused as you suffer beneath the weight of your partner's experience. Hence, it's better to date people whom you find banal and uninteresting than to wait for that special someone, even if this means that love's euphoric magnanimity will not obliterate the patterns suggested by your experience, so that when that special someone comes around you don't alienate them by being consistently frustrated by their cultural savvy.

Note: beware of falling in love with someone whom you initially find uninteresting, for when they realize that you love them they will punish you for your initial indifference, the nature of said punishment directly corresponding to the degree of their remaining love, and if they do still love you, it will likely be worse.
