WTF?
I used to fly Frigat GFs that were fast and spikey... cheap, cheerful and, yes, fun...
Finally I switched up to a cruiser... more space, bigger, slower... more comfortable and jee whiz the firepower it packs...
More Skills.... you think being better skilled and better able to use them effectively is bad? Costs more.... fine things are not cheap... often the greater the investment in a woman the greater the return. Worse performance... ah... a stranger to the subtle art of non contact loving, foreplay and ensuring the satisfaction of your partner... as opposed to Wham... Bam... thank you ma'am... how was that for you?
You think there is a reprocessor that can melt her down... you've seen and believed too many Chipendale Ads

Meeting someone in the first place is full of problems, then how do you know if you are really compatible? Then how does the relationship develop, what does it take to build a bond that will last?
Spending a life time together? How will your families get along? What about children?
And when a relationship fails how do you go about separating? Then staring the process all over again?
This hardly scratches the surface, the breadth; depth and complexity of interpersonal relationships in this modern world are well beyond most peopleGÇÖs ability to fully comprehend.
About four years ago I found a solution, but every thing is a compromise, every advantage must be paid for with some kind of burden or sacrifice. Many people will find this approach unpalatable.
My Solution; no girl friend, no lover, no romance, simply donGÇÖt ever have a relationship.
I realize that few (if any) of you will take this seriously. Also I know for at least a few (or perhaps many) people this is simply an unworkable approach. Be that as it may, I have found myself happier and more at ease then I ever was before. At this point I am so content with my solitude I canGÇÖt imagine allowing a significant other into my life to disturb it. I know, I know, this is hard to believe.
None the less I have found an easy, simple, and workable solution.
At least for me.
as simple as it may be, it's a path to the lonely road. You can spend your entire life 'taking care of yourself" through the internet or dvd's. But, there is nothing quite like the thrill of the chase, there's a beauty to it really. Personally, I find that "taking care of myself" thing, quickly becoming boring and banal.
if you have social skills that are up to the task of actually going out and picking up a partner for the evening/weekend or simply making a new friend. It's always necessary to draw the battle lines before the next step happens. IE. This is me, take it or leave it. or another way is to simply follow the 4 F's and the latter is usually frowned upon. =)
Either way, it's harder to become a hermit than it is to actually say "hi" to someone. |

IGÇÖm not a hermit, I spend lots of time with family and friends; it is romantic relationships that I avoid. This decision to avoid deeply intimate involvement with the fairer sex was not arrived at lightly. I got to a point in my life were I took a long hard look in to my interactions with women and how my life had been affected. The OP made several references to risk versus reward calculations. I did something similar.
I carefully weighed the amount of happiness versus turmoil my various love interests had brought in to my life. I found that I received only tiny portions of the pleasures that romance is supposed to bring. At the same time there seemed an outside portion of burden. In essence romance filled my life with tumult, chaos, and misery while only rarely providing small amounts of the promised joy and happiness.
I came to the conclusion that by abandoning romantic endeavors; I would relieve myself of a ton of burden, and that casting off this painful burden would require the sacrifice of only a pennies worth of pleasure.
And so, that is what I did.

ah, my apologies, "hermit' may be the incorrect word I was looking for.
I'll be honest, I've been where you are. God, every break-up that didn't make sense, still haunts me to this day. But, I'll say this much, women can be bat-crap crazy (men alike), sometimes they never make sense. But at some point, you find one that does..... then you'll be willing to deal with any little issue you have. Gotta put that key into a lotta holes before you find the one that fits. heh (please excuse the sexist analogy, simply a quip)
I understand where you are coming from, but personally, I don't see this swearing off relationships thing being set in stone. Catholic priests can barely do it..... seen a lot of them quit the calling because of it.
all thoughts aside, I wish you the best of luck. |

No need to apologize I understand that you intended no offence; I also understand that my philosophy seems very alien. The concept of coupling is ingrained into society. Dating services make millions annually. There are no models of positive solitude in popular media. It would be a kinky nightclub indeed that would invite you in to teach you the pleasure of being alone. This bias towards relationships is particularly true in American culture.
Understand that a person who is alone can experience any emotion, Joy, contentment, tranquility, even love. Just as a person who is surrounded by other human beings can also experience any emotion, fear, loneliness, anger, or hatred.
During my time in the military it was just about impossible for me to have any time alone. I worked with the other soldiers all day, and then when the duty day was done we all went home to the same barracks and in essence lived together. And never in my life before or since have I felt so isolated and alone as when I was there in the middle of that sea of humanity.
Now, that I have regular opportunities to be alone, I almost never feel lonely or isolated. I have plenty of time to spend with my friends whenever I want to, and plenty of time to myself as well. And I just donGÇÖt see how a woman fits in to this picture.
IGÇÖm not a young man any more, and I would not consider starting a family and having children now. So that takes reproduction out of the picture, but it seems that is the last thing on peopleGÇÖs minds when they seek physical intimacy. It appears that for most people the primary use of romance is recreational intercourse. As time went on I found less and less enjoyment in such things, perhaps it is a factor of getting older. In my case however I think it is more than just age.
These past few years my outlook, and attitudes have changed a lot. If I were to enter a relationship now I would not fully commit myself to it, I would always keep something of myself in reserve. In essence I would be ready to leave at any moment. And that just doesnGÇÖt seem fair to the other person, why should she waste time working on a relationship I donGÇÖt really want and will never be committed to? Her time would be better spent seeking and developing a relationship with someone that she could form a life long bond with. And if she is the kind of woman who is not looking for Mr. Right but is instead looking for Mr. RightNow. Well, I just donGÇÖt want to deal with things like that anymore, and there are plenty of guys out there for her to choose from that do.
So, just as there is no place in my life for a woman, there is no place in a womanGÇÖs life for me. This does not make me unhappy or sad, in fact I am quite happy with the situation. I feel very much that my life (this aspect of it at least) has turned out, as it should.

Seriously though you raise and interesting point.
Never the less I donGÇÖt see survival of the species becoming a problem; few people will adopt my approach. IGÇÖve only met one other guy who has developed a similar out look. He is close to my age and is now divorced with children (could that be a TV show?).
I simply canGÇÖt envision young virile people adopting my philosophy. I can only expect that when some one reaches mid life they would adopt a similar out look (and even then few individuals would), while they were young they will have had plenty of opportunities to accidently (maybe even intentionally) produce children.
It has been my experience that natural laws enforce themselves.

(He's an American guy who's been a fishing boat captain around Guam and Saipan for years. Great life-- catch fish, sell some, barbecue some while you're enjoying a cold one. Just a side detail there). When I was about 35 and kind of had a career lined up, he said, "Alright, you made it this far without getting married. So now you're past the danger zone and don't have worry about getting stuck in that anymore." Well, it turns out I wasn't past the danger zone after all.... Was married by about a year later. |

just to avoid the long block of letters of quoting post #36 above.
I don't know how you do it man..... Call me a skeptic, but I crave that rush of chasing a woman. Even as I'm married, if another woman finds me attractive and i'm aware of it, I fight like hell not to chain myself down into the drama danger zone. Alas, Reason usually champions over the short term excitement, but the urge is still there.
i'm not young either, pushing damn near into my 40's and I still get digits and email addresses tucked on my desk.
Seriously, I don't know how anyone can, for the lack of a better word, decide to be and remain celibate. Personally, I feel I'd lose my mind.

How do I explain with out creating a wall of text?
I didnGÇÖt document my voyage down this philosophical path, mostly because I believed no one would be interested.
I will attempt to create a thumbnail sketch;
First was finding the motivation, I will give a specific example.
A few years back a coworker of mine asked me out, I was somewhat surprised to have a girl approaching me rather than the other way around.
Then she stood me up for our first date (that she had picked by the way), and topped it off by reporting me to our management for harassment. Luckily our team manger stepped in and put a stop to things before they got out of hand, which most likely would have ended in finding myself unemployed.
That is but one example of a long line of misadventures. Eventually after enough of these mishaps I came to the conclusion that swearing off women was necessary for my own wellbeing.
Now with the motivation the second step involved was what is most easily described as a break up. Think of a break up with some one you have had a very deep life long emotional bond with. Here though it was not a break up with any person it was a break up with my famine ideal. In a manner of speaking I was divorcing my self from the concept of women, so that they were no longer special or different in any meaningful from the other half of the population.
This was concurrent with the third step, which is the most exoteric and difficult to describe. The normal urges and drives were not resisted with willpower or otherwise suppressed. I found a way to tune them out, disconnect my self from them in a manner of speaking. I am aware of them but it is now like background noise rarely drawing my attention.
And there you have a short story summing up what was a long and complex journey of introspection and self-discovery. A deeply spiritual and philosophical sojourn, that was fraught with missteps, false starts, regressions and pain. And now years latter emerging on the other side, I can say I have found a happiness and tranquility that I did not have before.
I can honestly say I wouldnGÇÖt change a thing.

in response to post #42....
while you do have a point about drama after drama after drama with women being a motivator to swear them off. I, for one, realize you can do the exact same thing to them, but in a wolf's way.
oh god, back in college... I treated women like they were experiences to be had. I had no aspirations to settle down or have a girlfriend. I just wanted to have fun, thankfully I picked up on which ones would be trouble or not. Half the time a consensus was made that we were simply friends enjoying each other.... the other half it was not and the latter was never pleasant. I was dumb enough to hook up with a girl in my class, oooo boy, I never set foot in the Kappa Kappa Gamma house again. (sigh) to be 18 again...... |

In my case not having a relationship is far less painful than having one. Actually it is quite comfortable; it leaves me a lot more free time to read books on history and philosophy.
So in that regard my unorthodox approach does coincide with normal human tendencies.

I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I get it, yer a smart guy, seemingly well read. If you can survive sexual tension by reasoning your way out of having a nice warm body next to you, (as I said before) Kudo's to you.

Girls like that don't need a few years; they do it right from the start. Well actually, most make sure they have you locked in first, then they start. Before that, they were just playing their cards to keep you making decisions that remove options for an easy way out.
Don't kid yourself. What it really means, is that it isn't likely to ever work out, unless you like that sort of thing. Maybe I was actually sleeping in front of my computer and dreamed I posted. Certainly, it's not there now. |

I say sign a pre-nup from the begining. After the marriage, keep copies of divorce papers around the house hidden and the first time she flips her lid over something stupid (use reasoning here to determine if it is actually stupid or just stupid to you) pull out the papers. Remind her that you didn't agree to the BS and that if there is a problem, y'all should handle it like adults and not some squabbling kids on the playground. Stick around.

If your current GF/SigOt feels that playing Eve is a transgression worthy of penalty, you're not dating the right TYPE of woman.
First (and harshest) - you can pretty much write off any woman born and raised in N. America or western Europe. They've been raised and schooled to believe that men are the enemy, and that anything he enjoys must be bad for the woman (and therefore forbidden...or at least restricted).
You need to find women who come from an environment where the mere playing of a computer game would be considered a minor (indeed, inconsiderable) transgression when compared with what passes for routine behavior amonst men in the woman's normal social scene.
There are large swaths of the world where guys, for lack of a better phrase, behave VERY badly compared to the average N. American male. They drink, they're abusive, they're serial cheaters...and it's considered normal and acceptable for men to do that in these areas of the world.
Through the magic of the interwebs, the women from these areas are able to meet decent, well-behaved guys whose WORST behavior is a desire to play computer games.
Find them, meet them, and your problems will be solved. Both parties will think they're getting a great deal (the salesman, again!), and that's the key to a successful relationship, be it business or personal.
<--- married to a Peruvian woman (WAAAAY out of my league by U.S. standards) for over 8 years.
Always remember this - Western women hear the word "courtship" and they hear TWO words - the "court" from which they will take HALF of everything you own (and a substantial payment every month thereafter), and the "ship" in which they'll try to ship you up the river for 10-to-20 if you don't pay up. |

Sounds like you manufactured and sicked a couple drones on her. Sometimes that works to distract them. But usually it just shortens their targeting time. |
