Nope not for the last 20 years or so.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I genuinely haven't seen this leg beard. So appologies. I also wanted to react to funny typo

Oh.

 

[Rentahamster]

My calculation is literally like this

Out of 100 woman, only 10 % are relationship material but only 1 woman out of 10 is basically marriage material.

The other 9 need to take therapy first to get rid of their mental problems (boderline, schizophrenic, etc) or women that just want to steal your money. You will need atl east 6 months to discover their mental illness before you can dodge a bullet or its already too late.

I going to go out on a limb and say that 90% of women don't want to marry you either lol

90 out of 100 girls are basically just one night stands and you dont care for it afterwards.

I was almost married to an ex girlfriend but she developed borderline syndrome again after 3 years and destroyed everything
I married almost another ex girlfriend but she was just after money so i dodged a bullet here.
Now i dont care anymore because iam married to my dreamwife

 

[nush]

Now i dont care anymore because iam married to my dreamwife.

Are you actually living with her yet or are you in Germany and she's in Asia still?

 

[GeorgPrime]

Are you actually living with her yet or are you in Germany and she's in Asia still?

Still blocked off by Corona but we prepare for her to move in with me now.

 

[Komatsu]

Married. Though I sometimes wish I was 5 or 6 years younger - never had the opportunity to use "dating" apps when I was single, they weren't a thing. Nobody goes to bars or clubs to hookup anymore, it's bizarre.

 

[Ten_Fold]

Married now, been in the same relationship for like 7 years. I had a lot of fun being single and having 3-4 different females on rotation, going to house parties and clubs.

Now I got 1 girl, I don’t go to clubs or house parties, an mostly just chill and play games or travel together which is cool, spending time with someone you like is much better than fucking a new female every week.

 

[NewComer]

Dating sounds fun albeit I don't even try. I'll likely forever be single...which I see nothing wrong with.

 

[Makariel]

Married. Don't miss dating at all. My sympathies to anyone trying to date in the current lockdown era

 

[008]

Have a new date tomorrow. 5’10” thin blonde who gets my motor going. Already masturbated to her pics a few times.
Actually, aside from looks, she’s smart when we chatted on the phone. I was shocked in a good way.
Probably the typical one and done date. We shall see

Simps get destroyed and a solid dose of tough love.

Sort of Tindering right now but ims a bit drunk

Listening to my jams which is the main thing

[Hudo]

My last two relationships did a number on me so I'm mainly flying solo. Been seeing a co worker sort of casually and it might go somewhere in the future but I don't have the energy or mental capacity to try and deal with anyone else but myself at the moment.

Can fully empathize with that, man.

Workplace bangs are the best bangs of all xD

There's never been a better aphrodisiac than mutual hanging shit on management

I've banged all the way from hospo to corporate

Wait, what's in the middle

Lol, I wish dating apps were a thing when I used to live with mates

Looking back, it actually takes more skill to pick up girls without the backup of apps

Having said that, I wish Tinder existed when I was 23-30 lol

No shit.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Ugh never go down on a woman.

You think so, but when one of your mates is getting lots of matches and you're not that's probably a bit demoralizing. Also lots of women only want to hook up if "Are you living alone?". They don't want to be doin their business if there's an audience in the house.

I don't think it's that difficult to organise a rendezvous when your housemate is not going to be home

What’s the background of this. Just pairs of friends doing it?
That woman who destroyed the simp was hot as fuck.

 

[Outlier]

I've never really dated and still not.

Technically, the point of dating is suppose to see if you can match with someone, to build something lasting.

In a more ideal world (where mental problems don't exist), the only factors needed for consideration (for dating) would be personality and goal compatibility.

For heteros it seems to be more complicated, because they're generally dealing with two very different instinctual dynamics. While for homos, they're generally dealing with similar instinctual dynamics.

Statically speaking males have simpler expectations/needs (in a intimate relationship) while females are more complex.

However, when things get done to business, how each partner COMPLIMENTS each others strengths and minimizes their weakness, if what matters most, for a healthy partnership.

 

[supernova8]

I think there's a paradox at play because when I was single, I had this urge to be with someone and yet now I've been with my girlfriend almost 2 years, I just want time to myself. I don't dislike her/not love her or anything. I just have this urge to not be around her. Probably made worse by the fact we're both working from home now due to COVID so we literally see each other 24/7.

I honestly liked it better when we were dating but living separately. I would always get my "off" time but now it's "on" 24/7 and it is so draining.

Thing is if I break up with her I know I would regret it. If I ask her to live separately she would probably take it the wrong way and break it off anyway so it's a case of either putting up with it or going nuclear and ending it.

I'm really terrified of getting married because right now I can break it off (if I choose to) and we can cut ties without much hassle. Imagine trying to do that married, going through all the paperwork. Imagine she refuses to sign the divorce papers. Fucking hell.

 

[Bartski]

no but I have a good friend I fuck with for sport and that is so much better

That's normal, you need some time to yourself so that's your not always "on". I used to park my car up just outside the street I lived for about 20 minutes so I could decompress from the commute. Otherwise I'd be hit with attention requests and questions as I walked through the door. She would finish work and be home earlier than me so she had that time and I'd have no time to be allowed to do that.

That's why man caves (garage, shed, toolshop, game room) are a thing, we need them.

Thanks man that really means a lot to hear from someone else. Thought I was going crazy.

You're right on the man cave too. Thing is I don't have any specific room for it (I live in Tokyo and the rental prices are crazy) so I've found myself staying up late and being on my PC while she's asleep. She's probably getting annoyed that I don't go to bed with her but it's really the only time I can just play games or go on Youtube or whatever.

Also found myself doing a lot of DIY stuff (building inner anti-condensation windows, fixing draft problems) to keep myself sane.

I've done that too. Yes, she got annoyed we didn't go to bed together at the same time. I know myself, I need unwind time or I'm just not going to be able to get to sleep or life just feels only like work/sleep/work 5 days a week. If you don't have space for a man cave maybe taking up a sport or swimming of Gym can give you that alone time and have health benefits as a byproduct. You can be one of those guys on the exercise bike watching Youtube vids.

I'm in a relationship but she doesn't know.

Jesus christ are you stalking me or something I literally do that at the gym.

I totally get the whole life feeling like work/sleep/work.

Doesn't help that she's obsessed with the TV show "Suits" (don't get me wrong I like it too), it's become a religious occasion to sit in front of the TV and watch 1 or 2 episodes every night (We've managed to go through 7 seasons very quickly). Once you've done 2 hours of TV after work, cook dinner, eat dinner, clean the dishes, it's pretty time for bed and as you say, I've ended up having zero time to myself.

Another thing is err.. us guys ... err.. have to un.. err.. wind every so often and not with the girlfriend's assistance. Now I understand why my dad used to be eager for me to go out and play with my friends as a kid when my mum went out shopping lol. Probably the only opportunity for him to whack one out hahaha. Weird talking about him like that but I've recently started to get the same feeling.

My hubby is the same like you guys. He's lucky though because we have enough space in our appartment so he has his own room where he can spend hours of gaming and watching Youtube videos or listening to podcasts (or watch porn I guess ). We also had that brief conversation of why he needs to stay up late, after I went to bed. I found it a bid odd to be put to bed like a child, so he can have his free time. Now I'm totally ok with it because Iit's just how he is - or maybe it's a boy thing after all.

Anyway, once we have our little one he will have to give up his room and I fear he will be devastated and annoying and oh god I dread all his consoles and stuff flooding my living room.

 

[nush]

It's a boy thing, but if it's way past midnight on a weekday then you need to step in.

You won't have time to play games in the first 1-2 years. Set a limit, only two consoles in the living room and store the rest, he can rotate the consoles out but if he wants to keep them nice keep them away from young kids.

 

[Peggies]

I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. I mean, he's a grown up (well, at least physically) and he just doen't need that much sleep. I'm ok with it.

That's what I keep hearing about having children. Looking forward to it LOL.
Store and rotate, now that's a good idea!

I'm like this too, even in high school I would stay up late because it was the only time I could be completely alone. Right now I'm seeing someone pretty much only on weekends, but even that is too much lol, I just feel like I need that time to decompress.

I know women who absolutely hate having a man cave in their house. I guess that’s for a variety of reasons, including:

- they’re not allowed in it
- the kids are not allowed in it
- it’s the one room in the house that the man usually keeps pristine with everything perfectly clean and in place
- they’re not sure what you’re watching in there
- they’re usually forbidden from cleaning it without supervision (Stallone finding out his mom had washed his gun in that movie musta been an eye opener for an entire generation, lol)
- the man actually wants to be left alone in there

More generally, especially when there’s kids around, a lot of women don’t like the house man to be in the house and not be readily available at any given time.

 

[Rentahamster]

- they’re not allowed in it

I'm all for people having a personal space to unwind like a man cave, but if someone makes a room with a "no girls allowed" sign on it, that's fucked up.

That's not how it actually works. It's a space that's unappealing for women to spend time in. Like a garden shed full of tools and spiders.

For me it's not the idea of having a sole-purpose space for myself, it's the idea of being away from her to do my own thing. If she was the one to have her own space and I could chill in the lounge uninterrupted that would be equally cool to me.

I had this bad year I was depressed and other beta shit, I feel recovered now, getting stronger for the summer, I'm so pale I need that sunlight no girl wants to date a freakin vampire lol

I have pretty good game when I feel good, I'm pretty smart, usually I'm the boss of the group, I'm a little crazy too so I have no fear, no barriers, gotta get out get some girls, I can be fuckin awesome.

Not surprising, her stats are high and she knows it. You've not mentioned anything about her personality. Ironically not being bothered will probably make her pay more attention to you provided you haven't simped out over her selfies already.
