This literally made me laugh.
I don’t fake anything. Neither do I feel it appropriate for you to permanently disparage me the way you do. Get a grip you sad case.
When you are not using your little pink rolodex of racist/white supremacist/etc epithets, you get out your unicorn covered filofax of hysteria
I mean: “Despise” “hate” “lesser humans”
lmao
Who knows what will happen.
I feel with 24/7 porn and sex robots in the near future, there will be some pretty fucked up men around. Combined with various forms of upcoming technology it will make it ever easy to withdraw from the world.
As for the comment of some others about this being general loneliness, I believe it is more damaging to never have a female in your life than never have a reasonably sized social circle. As you still have social interactions at work, even if your friendship circle is non existent.
I’m glad you find the humor that everyone else on the forum finds when they see a post by you.
Bottom line is you won’t say how you feel in public because you’re scared. Just like you’re scared to call yourself a white supremacist. Goddamn just embrace it pussy.
Yes, but you established a family. Why do this in the first place? Clearly you thought there is satisfaction in one.
Because in an absurd world, we have the option to embrace and choose the absurd.
Yes, I’ve played guitar since the age of 13. My abilities peaked at around 26, and then from there it’s been downhill. I haven’t played in about 2 years. I look at the last two remaining guitars I own tucked away in the closet with hurt, and sadness. It begs me to come and grab it, but the pain from failure won’t let me.
I wait for the light of inspiration and creativity to hit me… until then it will remain in the closet.
I don’t get this. Clearly you get something out of having a family.
If it’s clear, why ask the questions?
You don’t get this. That’s fine. Are you asking these questions in the hopes of getting it or in the hopes of disproving it?
Of getting it. But you’ve reminded me I can’t. For real. I’ll stay with that.
Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.
Lotta good reading on the topic. The Bible was my first introduction.
I wonder what the number of males transitioning to females vs females to males are.
I suspect more male-to-female transitions, for obvious reasons.
that’d be my guess as well
Looking back, if I was more mature, I wouldn’t have sleepwalked through the one philosophy class I had. I was 20, it was the summer, and I had little interest, nor did I have the appropriate intellectual capacity at the time to get anything from it.
I wish to one day read Aristotle, perhaps for obvious reasons.
Yeah, the majority of my experience came post grad school; just stuff I read as a hobby. I didn’t care much for the Greeks, but found 19th century existentialism interesting.
I agree. Although some say that having a woman and children aren’t a panacea for a man’s woes, they are the closest to a panacea a man can get. And I think those who say otherwise are being disingenuous when they say otherwise. After all, if there was nothing great about sex, companionship, marriage, children, then why go through the investment in getting them and then even more investment in keeping everything intact?!
Furthermore, I think nearly all straight men know there’s absolutely no glory in being womanless and that such a life can become maddeningly boring, literally maddening!
I think of the ones I know, they had to become more outgoing and astute in reading women’s indicators of interest. I think one likely had to get rid of some odd quirks too, that likely a dedicated woman would understand AFTER a relationship was solidified, but not during the courtship phase.
Why’d you stop? I picked up piano about a year anda half ago after basically always wanting to play … can’t imagine a scenario where I let it go by the way side
I feel this is binary: A man either has woes, or he has a woman and no woes.
Does there not exist a third possibility, in that a man is fulfilled in the absence of a woman but that a woman can enhance what is already a satisfying existence? In much the same way that ice cream is already enjoyable but can also be enhanced with toppings?
In much the same as lumping “sex” with “starting a family”, I don’t think it fares well to believe that those arguing that sex and companionship are not necessary for fulfillment are instead arguing that those things are not enjoyable or without merit.
Exactly. Self-fulfillment simultaneously makes you okay with not having a partner, and more attractive to those seeking partners. It’s such a win-win you’d wonder how people choose anything else. Not that it’s easy, of course- but some never try.
