I don't hate women. The idea of hating women for being so effective at manipulating & obtaining things from men makes about as much sense as hating a cactus for being pricking your finger when you try and pet it. They're just utilizing a strategy to secure their highest possible reproductive success--like most of the world.

Women & men can both be very nasty creatures to each other. The truth is that natural selection has created a world full of competitive species, and even withing species where sexual dimorphism exists, competing sexes. The end game is reproduction. Nothing else. And yes, it's a disgusting game, 100% no doubt about it.

So if you have, in the past, pet a woman and received a thorn in your finger for all your troubles, ask yourself what your expectations were. Love exists as a vague concept (and nothing more) to facilitate reproduction and child rearing. And not necessarily your reproduction (if you're a male and of low sexual value.)

Still, there can be love and beauty in the world, but I think you will not find it in sexual relationships. You will only find a well-refined game of deception & never-ending competition in reproduction or male-female relationships.

I go my own way, because I don't want to play that game. I don't want to be miserable & confused & never able to rest easy just to secure another generation for my genes. Frankly, I find that game disgusting--not women.

Anyone else?
