amen. best thing i ever did for my mental, physical and financial health was to stop dating.
most women I ever dated were nothing but a total drain on my well-being, and did almost nothing to contribute to it positively. the only women who were ever really a net positive to me were female friends who encouraged me in my interests and passions and who shared those same ones with me.
Sadly I've never been able to date anyone who saw my passions as a positive... just a negative becuase often their soul interest in the world was getting money, attention, and generating drama out of our relationship so they could 'feel feelings'. So many ladies see relationships as nothing more than drug dispensing feel good machines (the same women who think all men want is sex... ironically). People need to realize that relationships are way more than that.
I remember so many times trying to have serious talk with my girlfriends and they just... got uncomfortable or just tried to sex me up to shut me up. They dind't want to deal with anything serious or adult. And these were adult women in their 30s. The only adult things they wanted to talk about was vacation plans or restaurants.
But it sucks, as happy as I am alone I want something more. I want a family and kids and to contribute to society in that way, but frankly, I don't really meet any women who want that. They just seem to want to be consumers first and foremost and productive members of society who care about more than themsevles... is not really on their wishlist.
I have been volunteering a lot, but it's really not the same. It's nice, but like working out, it doesn't feel like it's really going anywhere other than just staving off the inevitable decline as best I can. All my volunteer work just is a tiny drop of givnig a shit in the massive bucket of neglect that is our society as we amuse ourselves to death via social media and consumer trends.
