I agree with that sentence, but you're contradicting yourself. Get a life, yes. But, your post is still wrapped up in women as the ultimate goal. Some on this forum are obsessed with the opposite sex. It's women/men or money. No matter how much of either the lot of you obtain, I doubt it will lead to happiness and fulfillment. If you're not happy with your naked self, no person or thing is going to fill that hole.

That's not to say people don't need money to survive or affection, we surely do. But, I don't think having those things driving your ship is a good idea.

LOL Yep. For folk that only have money to bring to the table, their options are going to be limited.

Men who have nothing to offer women (because they put no energy into themselves and their lives) who then complain that women are "shallow" or "b***y" or some other deragotory adjective make me laugh. Um, no -- women, like all humans, want quality. What exactly is wrong with that again? Quality comes from effort. You want a woman? Don't be a slob. Clean up your act and you will get one.

One way to "clean up your act" is to put more effort into your professional life and "stack bills" as the OP put it. You can also put more effort into your body by hitting the gym .. your mind, by hitting the uni, library or bookstore, etc. There's lots of girls out there. Different bait for different fish .. but please, don't just sit on a dirty couch (or fouton) with a dirty shirt on, shoveling some sort of fried chip down your throat, slurping a 64-oz something or other, playing a video game and complaining that women don't "get you."

They get you just fine. They get that you're the kind of monkey who is too lazy to go for anything other than the low hanging fruit.

Well said!

This also applies to females. I can't tell you how many friends and acquaintances I've encountered who would get into a relationship with some guy just so they wouldn't be single. I was single for a 'long time' by some people's standards. Some girls would even say stuff like, "oh, you poor thing! you need a man," to me. I didn't understand what the problem was, and then I started to wonder if I was antisocial for not wanting to have a boyfriend just for the sake of having a boyfriend. But then I met the guy who is now my boyfriend, when I least expected it, and now I'm happy with that.

It's never later to learn how to speak another language or play an instrument.

Work on your career or start the business you've always wanted to start.

This is just advice I am giving to guys that make pursuing women the center of their lives. Don't do it. Life is to short. Go out to a movie by yourself or even dinner. I do it all of the time. Dating comes easy for me BUT on most occasions, I'd rather be by myself.


I makes no difference to me if I have a lady in my life or not. If I do fine, if not, that's fine also.

Have fun. Enjoy yourself. You only life once fellas.

You only life once fellas. Wow is my son typing? j/k

It's an older thread but Ron was right on with his advice. I'm sure someone here also said this applies to women also.

We need to be complete and whole as a person before we can be complete and whole as part of a couple. Many people use others as a crutch.

I don't want to get too off topic here, but the average rapper is wiser than most. Just saying.
