I thought about this and I came to the conclusion that the only real type of love is the love for society as a whole. As in upholding other people's rights and freedoms, stuff like that. Interpersonal relationships seem very fickle and superficial to me. People love each other in that way only because of what they see on the surface and reward the other for behaving and acting in the ways they wish. In this sense romantic relationships, and perhaps even friendships, are just a way of seeing what we want to see in ourselves in someone else...maybe that's it? Either way it's all just a facade (maybe in the future we'll have sex bots that can act and behave in whatever way we want them to). Either way, nobody can truly love you, only what they see. It's external validation.

The herbivore men (and their female equivalent) do something like this. They meet all of their needs, including emotional and sexual, by creating a fantasy that meets them. I read this somewhere. It's sort of like when you develop an emotional attachment to an artificial character in a video game. I believe it is quite possible to do this, and it might even be better than real relationships.

I don't think I will fall in love again as I know the things about myself that I value are far out of line with what most women want. The things they value seem to mean nothing to me, or at least very little. My appearance, my interest in music, these things don't define my personality and the things I truly value. I would never go TRP, and much prefer MGTOW, or at least the way of the herbivore men. I don't believe any women could ever really validate me for who I am. That's something I have to do for myself and obviously, given the nature of this post, I'm still working on it.
