Relationships, Romance, Sex, etc

[Zerodash]

At work today, I found myself "playing therapist" for a co-worker feeling the lonely-heart blues. The poor fellow was suffering from classic "nice-guys-finish-last" syndrome.

It was at this point that I got to consider how important dating, relationships, and/or sex is to some people. The sex/romance game causes so many people so much pain and suffering and yet people still bother to play it. Even more suffering is caused by the LACK of a relationship, etc, in many people's lives.

However, I have also encountered some people who are apathetic in their appraisal of such things. These people are perfectly content to live out their lives alone. Others might call these individuals "empty".

I, for one, don't need a woman in my life to be happy. Hell, I treat my women so badly (I try not to) that its actually a good thing that I don't need a ladyfriend. My friends and family think my apathy is pathetic, but so be it.



So, how important is sex/romance to YOU?

Are you saying you embrace the love that dare not speak it's name or something?

To us men. Sex is important....Romance isnt.....
But eventually we realize in order to get sex..we must use a bit of romance...so therefore Romance takes a priority.

Being alone (by CHOICE) is all good as long as your happy with it.

For me personally? Romance sucks...but its important cuz i have a constant need to get laid.

Don't usually care enough to make the effort. I goto a state college and most of the women are too stupid to hold a conversasion, much less a meaningful relationship. Of course sex is one thing, "love" is another. Not that I wouldn't ball 90% of the female population... I just wouldn't want to talk to them after. That, and my desire to form relationships of any kind has been seriously toned done by evolving Diogenesitc personality.

I met a girl awhile ago that seemed like a cheery person not too bad, someone that would be up for a one night stand. Then the stories came out. First from people...then she opened her mouth.

To make a long story short, she was a recovering alcholic (who was getting drunk) and a crack head. I mean a real crack head. HBO Special style. The kind that shoots up in a "friends" house in front OF THEIR 3 YEAR OLD. And she almost OD'ed on cough medicine. She turned into the most vile and disgusting person in front of my eyes. I've never been so repulsed in my life.

Really bad example as any physical attraction was vaporized in about 10 minutes. Of course the girl I really want to be with (relationship, not just hooking up) gets a boyfriend who looks like the biggest tool in the world (he actually resembles her ex who I went to school with, and he's a bastard too).

"Do you mean the love between a man and a woman, or the love between a man and a fine Cuban cigar? *chuckle* "

I mean in the whole I've never heard a hetrosexual use the word 'ladyfriend', kind of way.

I never knew that "ladyfriend" was exclusive to gay nomenclature. I was just trying to diversify my language usage. Thanks for the info.

*zerodash removes the word "ladyfriend" from his vocabulary*

In college, dating was pretty important to me. I hated to sit by myself on a Friday night, and luckily I dated quite a bit.. good times.

Nowadays, I've found that the dating pool dries up post-college. That being said, I'm pretty content.. kinda outgrew the sappy relationship feelings I had and learned to make it on my own. You can only really depend on yourself, anyway, and no one else.

more than before, but still not very. Life is tough enough for one person, let alone dragging someone along with you.
