I've known some men that were quite happy with just casual relationships and would not have it any other way.

Lol, not like that!
I am actually the least grumpy person I know.
Not letting anyone spoil your mood is hard work!

it's all about enjoying the little things that makes your mood happier, not what others do to you that impact you in some way.

like I really want a banana smoothie right now. Had this craving when I was eating a banana about an hour ago, but the places around here use ice cream to make them, and I don't want ice cream in my smoothie. i'd make one if i had regular yogurt and a blender, but I don't have a blender at my disposal, nor do I have a blender. I'm slightly upset because I can't enjoy what I want, but I'm pretty happy because I just had a banana, and I'm thinking about the celery with a little peanut butter I'm going to have later. With some grapes and carrots, and I'm looking forward to that.

Like I said, even the smallest things can make me a happier!

I look at people in a bar or club that end up in ONSes and think, how could they?

I am an overly serious man by nature, and sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a bit less serious and loosen up or something. Should I give casual relationships a chance? Or would I be disappointed in them?

you don't have to try something just to know if you like it or not. IF it's not for you, then it's not. Just because you see other people doing it, so what? If that's what you want, then go do it.

Obviously they must like it if they're using each other for empty & meaningless sex/relationships with no point to the overall situation. Seem to be the type of flighty people that will hump and dump when "things become too routine" or "boring" in their minds. None of this should be surprising given the way people are in this world today.

If your a relationship person, you'd hate casual dating. Just hold out for what you want.

I considered this only because some posters wrote that some women got unhappy in such relationships when they didn't progress. I am a guy that likes to progress, albeit slowly.

That's the point.
There are a number of women here looking for a casual relationship, and I am sure some of them are decent people.
No, that's not necessarily the point. I've spent the last 33 years with one person. If I hadn't had casual relationships before that, I would feel as though I had missed something (and I'd be right). Those other relationships didn't have to go anywhere to be worthwhile. They just were what they were.

(One was with a potential marriage partner, just to be clear.)
