From your posts it seems like it's your life's only purpose. I'm sure could find happiness elsewhere. You don't necessarily need a woman to validate your existence. I have been there before, wanting a bf so bad because I never had one, letting happy couples make feel miserable, but I realized I can only do so much to change it. Relationships happen naturally.

You can't force it. And it takes a long to form that connection. Don't get into a relationship because you feel like you have to have one, but because you have come across someone you genuinely care for. For all you know, those "happy" couples could be miserable. Remember that. Form your identity first.
from the way I see it, it's more okay for a woman to need or want a boyfriend, a relationship for validation but not the other way around

It really isn't.

I see everyone the same. I'd tell a woman the same thing I am telling you. No one needs to be validated by anyone, but unfortunately society doesn't see it that way. It focuses more on two people being together rather than working on yourself as person first.

You don't need a relationship.

Because it's the same mentality as a small child wanting a toy, because someone else has it.

Get to know and relate to a variety of women before trying to acquire one, please.

You don't need a girlfriend. You don't even need to have sex. Don't base your happiness on another person.

OP: Don't base your wants and expectations by what the so-called society deems to be the norm as you see/read the mess with a good percentage of relationships, people and such. In essence be your own person and you'll be able to withstand any "shaming" or "disagreements" by the general public as you'll be that much confident for the person you chose to be and the life you lead/live. Sure some will say to go with what others do but that's a decision you'll need to make if you want to take those chances and risks as a Man. It's a rough world out there and people are "chewed and spit out" regularly.

Let's see-

1. You don't have to worry about spending money of birthday/valentine's day/holiday gifts for a girl friend
2. You don't have to worry about sharing an apartment with said girlfriend
3. If you are employed, your money is your own.

What is there to complain about???

That type of life sounds amazing. Everything will be mine and I don't have to share.

if only it would possible to remove and kill the natural instinctive desire for sex or a girlfriend with drugs, it would make focusing on other areas of my life much easier
