psh, I think I blew through more money last summer when I was single than I did in the months before that when I had a girlfriend


one could make the argument that it can be more expensive to be alone than to be in a healthy relationship. you get lonely, you get depressed, your health deteriorates, you start drinking to numb the pain, before you know it you're spending tons of money on either booze or medical services

Why not establish a short term relationship, with a petty cash fund for that purpose, instead?

It could have been a different story if I had grown up in a large city.

The only issue with my mind set, as I understand it, is that I am honest with women as a form of respect toward fellow human beings (even if it is not what women want to hear (and I try to use honesty for goodness and not badness whenever possible)) instead of simply lying to them for sex; and proving greater loyalty to the animal kingdom, at the expense of any loyalty to forms of moral absolutism, such as bearing true witness. I am over the traditional requirement part now in modern times, and refuse to subscribe to it any longer.

However, why do you believe any guy, not just me, would have any problem clamoring for a relationship if it were "normal" for women to use guys for sex as much as men use women for sex? What excuse would most men have if sexual equality was normal in regards to getting laid?

In my opinion, most guys would have less problem with women if guys were getting sex as much as women get sex, because then we would not feel like we are getting "played" by women who claim they are not really like that. Why would any guy need to lie more to women for sex, if women were busier getting their girl friends involved and trying to find out which guy the could get to clamor for a relationship first.

Is anyone claiming that male players never want a relationship; or do they simply "play" due to the inequality of the social transaction cost involved in getting laid as much and as easily as women can get laid.
Waaait a minute...

Weren't you that weido member (whose name I can't remember) that came to CD more than a year ago posting why you never complemented your wife because you were "training her to not be the traditional female who existence is to be admired for her beauty?" You live in CA with the same status as "federalist" and...used those words"human beings" and complained about feministic and Republican views about marriage?

I have had the same username since I registered on this forum. You may be confusing me with some of the other weirdos you claim to know. From my perspective, you are simply resorting to a fallacy of false cause and forms of victimization, without a Cause; are you some kind of feminazi also without a cause?

It would be better if you were less proficient at "nagging" and instead were better a being a girl who knows how to be a friend with guys.

It would be nicer if you simply asked for a full body massage with happy ending, instead of insisting you need to practice being a nag. I don't mind the practice (of full body massage) since it is very therapeutic to both the giver and the receiver; simply for the sake of gender relations.

What is wrong with massages? Wouldn't you be less frustrated about being single if chicks came up to you and simply asked you if you want a full body massage with happy ending, just to get to know each other better?

I think his problem is that he wants women to touch him. He talks about them being "heterophobic" yet he wants to treat them like objects for his pleasure.

I wonder does he go around asking every woman for a "message with happy endings" for real..

well there's different types of "single". there's the single-and-can't-for-the-life-of-me-get-a-date-or-get-laid and then there's the single where you still have no problem getting dates and sex, but you're just not in a committed relationship with anyone.

i'm single but lately it's been more of the former category, so i really can't say that i'm happy abt it. on the other hand if my single-ness turned into the latter kind, i'd be pretty damn content

I think you are simply stereotyping and being judgemental. Besides, the therapuetic benefits of massage and touch therapy have already been established.

Actually, I had another argument on another forum; where women were coming up with anecdotal evidence by simply asking people's opinions regarding the topic. So, I asked for some opinions myself by calling a massage salon and asking if they needed a Yoni massage therapist to intern with them. The lady was very polite but claimed that many women exhibit an equivalent to forms of heterophobia, and may be too bashful to request such a service.

The topic was about how porn has benefited women more than harmed women by engendering forms of pay superiority when compared to males in that same sector. It is interesting how the reverse is true in most any other sector that does not involve sex.

Besides, I can always be that honest with women as a form of respect toward fellow human beings; when I have enough money for that purpose.
