I’m very fortunate to know some very smart, competent woman. I also can’t deny the thirst. I appreciate women in general and do not think that AWALT. I’m not denying that there are issues and I am not saying that all women are unicorns either.

However, I don’t think the risks are worth the small window of benefits in a relationship. In my experience, I had to put forth a lot of emotional labor in order to entertain and manage to feelings of a woman in a long-term relationship with me. Men, despite what most women think,, still sacrifice more and have to do a lot more mental, physical and emotional work to maintain a relationship. Until I see a woman willing to be a complete and equal partner, and also a partner dedicated to commitment no matter her feels at the moment, then I’m going my own way.

For what it’s worth, I dictated this on my phone so typo edits may be in order. I want to put this out there for those of us I don’t think this “all women are like that“ but Do you not feel compelled to seek a relationship and feel that the only alternative at this time is to go their own way.
