I recently ended a 6 year relationship. I'm not going to settle down with anyone again unless they have their own stuff going on like a career and goals. I think a lot of women expect men to manage all the finances, set goals, plan vacations and provide stability but they don't want to do the traditional gender role stuff like cooking and cleaning or making a home. So what's the point? Why make someone else's life easier if they don't do the same for you? had a son young(I was 19 when I had him) and he's 11 now, so it's not like I'm dreaming of starting a family. Most women bring nothing to the table. And if you're lucky enough like me to have a good income, house, car, etc... you realize a lot of things are easier living alone.

Women want the princess treatment but don't know how to act like a princess. Beyond that, sex isn't all it's hyped up to be. I know I sound like a redpill incel but dating shouldn't be a priority for anyone. What's the rush? Don't fall for the first thing you see, make sure they're worth it first.

Re: “sex isn’t all it’s hyped up to be.” Sex with someone you love is the best thing.

Have you actually tried taking unrepentant time off, where you have no work or social obligations, and grabbing unhealthy snacks and drinks, curling up with a good game, and zoning out of reality for hours or days at a time?

Sex is nice and all, and we're hard wired to like it more than most activities, but it does not hold a single candle to unrepentant free time when you're not used to said free time.
