I on the other hand would like to reproduce. But i also know that reproducing should not happen without marriage first. I guess I'm that let's have fun first guy too because I don't want to have any regrets that I didn't enjoy my life first before tying myself to responsibilities.
Very true. Different people prefer different things. A lot of people on here always say "Approach women or else?" I'm just like "Or else what??"

I showed this to a girl I've been seeing...and she dug it. This video is kind of my litmus test for women I guess. If she gets it, awesome! If not...maybe we can have a quick fling, but nothing more.

It is a hoax just like anything that requires a large loan is a hoax. Who but someone that has been cynically programmed by commercial society would wait 30 years (in the case of a mortgage) to actually own their house?

School is the same thing. You might be a well read intelligent person, even a self-taught expert on something, but unless you've paid for a big school to agree you're smart, your intelligence and self-applied learning and study doesn't count for nothing.

Everything is a scam for others to get as much money as they can out of you now and as far into your future that they can while you wait for full ownership.

Instead of creating a world where people can afford things, we have to look to commercial banks and insurance companies to live.

Or else end up posting on a relationship forum pretending you don't want a relationship and are perfectly happy being alone in the hopes you'll someday convince yourself that is true, while everyone reading your words knows it is not.

What's wrong with "let's have fun first?" Isn't that what you're supposed to do before starting a family?

Seems like whomever wrote the article is looking for an insta-family.

Not all these women live in the future though. They have spent their presents and possibly years of their past with a man who is "not sure" about her. This makes her a bad person because she wants a husband? How come he is not a bad person for not wanting to BE a husband...at least, to the woman he's with?

Why should I continue to care and agonize over..prioritize the happiness and satisfaction of someone who does not respect my needs in the relationship? If, ultimately, our needs and goals don't match...that is more than fine. He needs to just break it off cleanly, move on from me, and stop hanging onto me for scared and selfish reasons. Too many guys out there, spewing machismo, poppin' wheelies on motorcycles, swimming in shark tanks, taking tethered dives from high-rises, but can't quite cowboy up when the woman they profess to love needs him to make an honest woman of her. One of these things is not like the other.

In general, I find you saying way too many things worth rep'ing... because I always get the message to spread it around elsewhere some more!

Agreed...

I am so tired of men that can't even afford to date. So far every single dad I have encountered has complained they are broke within a few days of messaging.
