Yeah, I know, the theory of evolution says that if you don't breed, your life was a waste, but who cares about all that. We're humans. Sure evolution affects us too, but we have higher purposes. We can make a difference in this world, even if we don't pass on our genes. In fact, as human beings I think that our purpose is far more than to breed, and that so many human beings are breeding in this world that breeding by any one individual is really of tiny importance. We can make a difference in so many people's lives, and that is what really counts ... the difference we make, and the legacy we leave. If having children is part of your legacy, that's fine. But it isn't as important as society wants us to believe.

My genes suck anyways from a survival and mental health point of view, so I don't know why I'd want to pass them on anyways. I'd be giving my progeny a rough ride.

So here's the deal, yeah all the TV shows and politicans and movies and all that garbage tell us that all cool people get laid. Every hero in the movies ends up with the girl and they kiss and all that junk. Everybody who's cool in all the sit-coms and all that garbage has a girlfriend or wife or whatever. And the politicians say that all that matters is "our children" and "our families".

But I say that's all fine and good, but it isn't going to make me depressed. I think there's far more important in this life than me getting a girlfriend.

I know I'm never going to have a girlfriend, and I'm trying to come to peace with that fact. It kind of sucks, but you know what ? It doesn't really matter. I can focus on far more important things.

The most important thing in man's life is a woman. Whether you like it or not. You're not alone dude. I don't have a girlfriend either Key is not to fret or be sappy about it.

I've never had a girlfriend. So, I'm more alone than you think. I'd bet that maybe 0.1% of American men my age have never had a girlfriend.

However, also, I disagree with your first statement. Perhaps the most important thing in your life is a woman, but not mine. I don't need a woman. I believe that I want one most of the time. I see women I'd like to ask out many times every day, but I never do. Why ? Because I fear rejection, sure. But also, I don't really want to have a relationship. I don't want someone telling me what to do. Social interaction in general stresses me out. So, I'm trying to come to peace with the fact that I don't have a girlfriend and that I never will have one. I'm trying to refocus my life on the things I used to be focused on so long ago when I didn't really care about dating and all that stuff (and therefore probably missed many opportunities to date when I was younger and physically fit)

So you've made up your mind you'll never have a girlfriend because it hasn't turned out like a sitcom for you? Join the club, life and reality is nothing like television or the movies. You don't always get the girl and it's not always a happy ending. That doesn't mean you should give up or deprive yourself of companionship.

You meant to say "a woman who doesn't bankrupt you in a divorce"...

Just teasing. ^^

If you have children, your kids should be the most important.

Awww you will find one. Some day. I have hope for you. Just today at the grocery store this nice looking construction worker was telling me about his nieces and nephews how he loves hanging out with them. The lady at the register said he was giving you a hint honey. I was like really!? Damnit I missed it! I think we have moments like this all the time!
