99 problems and a ***** is more than one

[Pax]

At this point, who am I to criticize Al. Me and my girlfriend may be breaking up unexpectantly. Although, it will be my decision.
I have spent the last couple of years not picking up women and when I went out last weekend I felt awkward as hell even with a few drinks.

[DaShi]

Women have changed. They only like skinny guys, balding guys from Reading now.

[Kidlicious]

Act like you have no problem picking up women, but other than that everything else is wrong. But don't complain though. Then say anything, but mostly make them talk. No, actually I have no idea.

[kittenOFchaos]

I fervently pray I never have to pickup ever again.

I've got my girl, for better or for worse

Well, at least she's not pregnant...

[Elok]

"*My girlfriend and I* may be breaking up *unexpectedly*."

There, now you have something besides your girl to irritate you. You're welcome.

[Pax]

Okay,
I dropped 15 lbs on my way to fighting weight of 170. Confidence is back!!
*****es are now more of a problem.

I don't understand the need to be in a relationship. If I wanted a sponge that sucked up all my money, I'd buy a car... maybe a hybrid. At least they are quieter.

Relationships aren't for everyone. And then, even if you are ready for a relationship, it might take you awhile to find someone you are really into.

[Sava]

It's a bizarre social construct is what it is... the "relationship".
Never in human history has such a strange arrangement occurred.
I understand the utility of marriage... when it was about property, alliances, and titles.
But now that we are past all of that dark age nonsense, marriage is like a game of dress up. I've never met a single person or couple that seemed naturally at ease in their predicament.

It's like living out a fantasy.

Cosplay seems like a more normal activity than a relationship.

[Mojotronica]

The average straight guy doesn't get a lot of "action" unless he's in a committed relationship. He may have lucky streaks, and the sex is more intense, but he can't compete with a relationshipped man for volume. Rich guys have less (purely sexual) reason to settle down, since their wealth makes them above average. And famous or better-looking/more charming than average guys do okay too. But the average, non-wealthy guy is pretty inherently unappealing, so they are lonely most of the time.

It's different for women, but their entire socio-psychological profile diverges from straight males so their primary motivation for being in a relationship is different.

The common-ground reason for a relationship is the inherent need for continuity and companionship, that's a universal human desire. You don't get to scratch the surface of another human being until you know them really well, and a relationship is the means to that end. You also won't experience being "really, truly understood" as a human being until you open yourself up to that, and on some level we all crave being understood.
