Don't get me wrong. I have the women that I hang out with and do my thing with, but I constantly reiterate how we're friends/casually hanging out. A lot of people are scared of being alone. They need partners for validation. They've been brainwashed and indoctrinated to believe that you need a relationship or a marriage to validate and solidify your lifes worth. I don't feel this way. I'm perfectly fine and content by myself. If a great woman just happens to come along, then I will entertain her and any possibilities that may arise, but I don't have any hope for that nor am I actively seeking it. Don't like setting myself up to be letdown and disappointed. And putting faith in a woman, with the way they move in 2018, is just begging for that, IMO
