I think every man's goal in life is complete self-realization.

banging as many chicks as possible is one HUGE part of the puzzle to achieve this goal, but by all means, not the only one.

that said, I dont really see much difference between money and women. to me personally, a man is a lot more interesting and well-rounded if he has a very cool hobby that he is passionate about.

That is just too outrageous. Really had to get in the last word, huh?

To answer your subject line: No.
As for the wall of text about yourself... I didn't bother. Blah, blah, blah. If you want to get laid, go for it. If not, who cares? It just isn't worthy reading.

As much as possible? No. I focus on other things also.

I have seen men who focus on great things outside of "getting laid". These men either completely put getting laid out of their mind in whatever way that men do that, or they just got married so they didn't have to worry about hunting for women in order to get laid anymore. Similar to some of the famous men named in this thread already.

Disagree vehemently, there may be some feeling of satisfaction of having the ego stroked, but not the aim and many people are purely motivated for the good and advancement of all of humanity. I know that's difficult for many people to believe, but it's true. Reasons for retaining control over inventions, discoveries, holding onto patents and the like are numerous including not having them fall into the hands to be mismanaged for primarily selfish gains. Many of the people named, their acts have in the past and continue to enhance the lives of masses of people intentionally. There are people who will step over any and everyone to get to a self serving goal and there are the other type of individuals that are vilified by the self serving persons because they see the non self serving person as having a weakness though it is a strength seen by people with a different mindset than them.

The issue I have here is with the word "GOAL" and applying it universally to all men. Of course it's true for some guys, but nowhere near all. Yes, almost every man likes...REALLY likes...getting laid often. (There are exceptions, which is why I'm cautious about using the words "always" and "never".) Sex is just a strong biological, primal desire for most men. However, "goal" implies making getting laid a "mission objective" or a "target" or something. That seems PUA-esque and even a bit degrading to women.

Some men understand that there is more to a woman than her breasts, a**, and V. They are genuinely interested in getting to know the woman and get into a relationship with her...realizing that sex will, in most cases, be a nice part of it. They possess the mental capacity and willingness to focus on some other things in life.

The kind of guy who says this is usually a guy who doesn't get laid nearly as often as he would like and can't conceive of readily available sex being just one part of a relationship.

Edison? Maybe Tesla.

I agree that sex is a major motivator, just not the only one or even the biggest for everyone.

The ultimate goal in life for men to get laid? Not sure about that. If you are with someone in love, steady, attracted, etc. isn’t that something you desire to share sooner or later?

Next thread: “Is every woman’s goal in life to get inside a man’s wallet and get married?”

My goal in life is too see how much money I can make by any legal means necessary. When I was younger I didn't even care about whether it was legal or not.
