Very True, CB -- BUT I think the media images and rhetoric about having a "beautiful wife" or "hot girlfriend" further reinforce that tendency. When was the last time you saw a movie about a straight man being happy without a wife/gf (or gay man being happy without a man, too, for that matter). When was the last time you saw a movie (especially teen-or 20-something oriented movie) outright glorifying people who refuse to go out on dates, love, etc. who do NOT have scarred souls?

This notion that sex, romance, etc. is the end-all, be-all of life is just mass society propaganda and nothing more. I'll bet plenty of divorcees realize there are bigger things in life than having someone to come home to! One is compelled to wonder what compels our society to consider "mere second best" an adult lifestyle of "no spouse, no kids", etc.

This guy right here doesn't care how fine a woman is, I have zero tolerance for drama.

That doesn't seem the case where I live.

The nice one, eventhough she was a trust-fund baby(you would recognize her last name), was cheated on & treated like crap. The nasty one had guys falling all over her. I was at her place once when she threw a guy out(it was 10 degrees outside) because he bought her the wrong kind of beer & this was after he moved a sofa up 7 flights of stairs for her. I've seen guys chase vapid moronic women too just because they had a hot body, and some don't even have a decent face! I am NOT male-bashing as I can assure you that women have their own issues, I can attest to that, lol!
Fortunately, after age 30 (or a terrible experience, if younger), even "hotness" itself loses its appeal as a factor. By age 40, it's usually "yeah, yeah, you're hot. I can see that. But where's the substance?"

The bolded parts are just nature's way of using torture to get a guy to reproduce. I'm glad THAT urge is only a shadow of what it once was (this is beside the fact that I've been committed child-free for 14 years).

I didn't have a terrible experience, at age 20 I decided to ignore all women who try to manipulate me.
Once I decided that my female friends drop off really quickly. At lease now I know who really are my friends.

Even though I have a few extra pounds, I still stand at 6'6, have nice hair and a handsome face, sexy lips, and very skilled in the romantic department.

Your absolute lack of social and mental skills BY FAR surpass what you DO have going for you. Your looks will only get you so far, then you open your mouth.
