I hope the moderators don't go and delete this thread, it's actually something I would like some feedback on.

A little while ago I made a post referring to TRP's obsession with "getting laid", and pointed out that I regard sex to be just about the most overrated experience on Planet Earth. Anyone who wants to read my post history can find it, but basically I referred to my experience of having sex in 10 different countries with people from all around the world and concluded, based on that experience, that sex isn't really all that special. Indeed, I had experienced many other things that were just more enjoyable and rewarding. And yes, I have the same sex drive as everyone else (hence the reason I continued pursuing something that I didn't really get a lot out of). In fact, of my 50 strongest orgasms, I'd say 45 of them came from my own hand... but that's another discussion.

Once the desire to pursue sex is removed from the equation, a lot of the desire to pursue relationships disappears with it. I'm an introvert, and I find that I need at least 2 hours a day of alone time every day (2 hours being the bare minimum, I prefer having a lot more) to feel really content. Well, good luck finding anyone who's going to be cool with that. And to be honest it's not that I have difficulty talking or relating to women, just that most of the time I don't have any desire to. This morning I got up and rode my bicycle up a mountain, it was a beautiful morning (one of the few we haven't been choking on smoke in these parts recently) and I realised this is just the sort of thing I'd rather be doing with my life these days. If not that, then maybe hiking through a rainforest, lifting something in the gym, or reading a book.

The Red Pill types tell us we should "lift", so we can have an amazing physique and ensure that our wives and girlfriends don't cheat on us with "Chad" (whoever he is). Honestly, if I was dating someone now, she'd probably see me twice in an average month. If she decided to hook up with this Chad guy behind my back, I'd be thinking "Great! Now she's his problem." And by the way, this isn't some misogynist "women would wreck my life" rant. I expect men to be exactly the same, I just happen to be a straight guy, so I wouldn't be dating a man either way. I have female friends that I catch up with occasionally and I look forward to seeing them. It's just that I like my quiet time a little too much, and at the end of each interaction (which usually takes place on a hike, a bike ride or at the gym), I'm content to go home alone.

Now I know someone's going to scream "MGTOW" at me in the comments, so let me address that one right now. I used to think that way myself, and I spent time in the past reading MGTOW content. The thing about a lot of guys who call themselves MGTOW, or at least the ones commonly encountered on the Internet, is that they spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about women. Reading between the lines makes it obvious that they are just as desperate to get married as the "blue pill" types they like to ridicule. The difference is that the MGTOW types weren't able to do that, so most of them harp on about things like "divorce rape" that would be irrelevant for a man truly going his own way, or "feminism" which has been great for men like me. After all, feminism has freed me from so many responsibilities that might have dragged me down in the past (I don't have to provide for any woman who can provide for herself. Great!).

So once a man gets past the need to "Fuck 9s and 10s" and decides that he actually likes his freedom, peace and quiet, is there anything to be gained from trying to convince a random woman somewhere to "love" me?
