Divorces can be so disastrous for men that's better and safer to eliminate the risk altogether directly from its roots, marriage.

You don't need to be married for you to have to give up half. If you been in a long enough committed relationship is enough to trigger the process with lawyers. 

I must check if this dreadful thing is mandated also by my country's laws, in that case it will always be each one lives at his/her home in my relationships.    
Up until now I was safe anyway, my girlfriends' sons were jealous and they didn't like me, so that risky situation was never gonna happen.

Being born into a rich family and having more opportunities in regards to better education, better lifestyle, better fashion/style, more employment/business opportunities and more social connections. It all comes down to the luck of being born into a rich family with lots of opportunities for success in life instead of the bad luck of being born to a single mum on welfare or working class with limited opportunities for success in life.

Being aware that you are too poor and there is not much you can do to become more attractive is the acceptance of reality. I wish I could afford Rolex watches, Italian tailored suits, designer leather loafers, jewellery, sport convertibles, mansion in an exclusive location, yachts, collection of antiques/paintings, etc. Having more wealth/status makes a man more attractive and he can pick and choose the partner(s) he wants.

I'm beginning to wonder if you are trolling now.

Poor people have more kids than the Rich do lol. Clearly they fucking someone or many someones.

The difference between poor people and rich people (who were not born into it) is also simple. Stop wasting your time on what ifs and dreaming and go out there and do it. People who made money, who bettered their social status all work long hours. They won't waste time sleeping 1/3rd of the day, they don't go drinking all night every night. They set goals and achieve them.

When I migrated to Australia when I was very young. I had nothing. No money, no friends, no social connections, no ability to communicate as I did not know English. Just my parents. Would have been easy to become one of those dole people who sits at home saying the world is against them. However, then it be an empty life.

Rolex are over rated, who needs a watch when you have a smart phone now? you want antiques and painintings? go to a bargain hunters market and buy some. plenty of old stuff there lol



 

 

The majority of guys have to be initiators and make the effort in regards to dating and romance. Some of us guys just can not be bothered putting the time and effort pursuing women that provides minimal return. I prefer using my time doing what I enjoy doing instead of wasting time on talking to women I do not know that do not care they I exist in this world. Not every guy is a sport star, rock star, rich, famous or good looking. It is not worth the time and effort for some of us guys that have no chance regardless of what we do in life. I weigh every decision I make in life and look at pros and negatives and apply an analytical approach and I do not initiate in regards to dating because it is too much work for no return.

Well then you answered it yourself.

I guess your answers most fit the option "They do not want to change!"

The thing is life is all about change. It's about adapting and compromising, because humans are social animals and we depend on each other. No man is really an island.

So if you feel your time is too valuable to make the effort to change your situation with women, that's fine. But it's not the world's fault. That's on you.

I am a 33 year old who posts comments on vgchartz and has had 6 sexual partners in the 13 years I've been sexually active (3 just this year, and there were droughts between some partners lasting months to years). I had a lot of social anxiety, depression, and a paralyzing fear of rejection among other issues, so I would take your attitude a lot.

Rather just stay home playing some games than go out, act weird in front of perfect strangers, and get rejected.

Then, this past year I decided to put in the effort. I tried social dating apps, bars, etc. I was rejected multiple times both in person and online.

With enough persistence, I landed some dates. With enough work put into understanding the opposite sex along with my irrational fears of them, I landed some sex.

Point is, even after all this time of being a certain way, with enough effort I turned it around and got what I wanted. I just drove a 22 year old home this morning after a fun night out (and more fun in both last night and this morning). People can change, and sometimes it's required in order to get different results.

Your situation may be different from mine, because autism is on a whole different scale when it comes to pursuing social relationships. But there are people with that disorder that do have families and/or other forms of relationships. You can either be in the group that focuses on all the negativity surrounding your life, or you can focus on what you WANT to be and find the steps required to transform into that. Up to you.

First I will say that for most of us on a game forum our stories wouldn't be too different in terms of having to change to get results. So good on you for sharing.

As for the bold part, I already mentioned to him that I know autistic people who can't even string a sentence as well as he can. Now they have managed to get into relationship and some even drive. He knows he is socially awkward and what his own faults are, so he is aware enough to deal with them but seems to choose to not to and blame the world.

I still would love to see a photo of him as he claims to be so ugly no woman wants. Hell if I thought like (even though I know I am) that I wouldn't have a wife lol.



 

 

I have no friends and no brothers to back me up in fights, so I have never gone out to any bars/clubs.
I do not use dating sites because they are low/no effort and are too focused on looks and I am too ugly for online dating.
Unfortunately I live in Australia, I would rather I live in the UK or Europe or any other country where life is easier and better.
Australia is a violent aggressive country with no culture, full of druggies/heavy drinking Bogans  that bash people up for no reason at bars/clubs.
There are so many stories I hear on the news of another fat guy beats smaller guy to death on a weekly basis at bar/club or at a street party.
At the halfway mark of my life and I dread the second half of my life of being alone and continuous rejection by the world.

I have severe limitations in communication I make statements and I do not engage in conversations. I talk at people instead of talking to people. I sound like an idiot online when I re-read over my posts. I limit my communications in the real world to avoid coming across as an idiot and to avoid conflict. I find it hard dealing with criticism, it really gets to me. In real life I do not have a keyboard to use words to fight back against criticism, I am no good at talking in person. If I use scripts that may be the  best way to deal with conversations but any unexpected questions would force me to walk away.

BTW: I am not posting a picture of me online so I can be mocked, ridiculed and become a meme! Hell No!

Well this is somewhat motivating/reassuring to read. Do you find the social anxiety got easier to deal with/lessened the more you forced yourself to approach women? I'm 32 and have had little luck with women, though I pretty much have no one to blame but myself - it's my own apprehensiveness to approach them, and a fear of coming out of my shell. At the same time, it's a bit frustrating as I haven't exactly had many apparent opportunities or many girls throwing much interest my way either..

I mean, I've had a few "dates" using a loose definition of the term (trust me, they either didn't go well or were uneventful). I've also had a handful of female friends over the years, a few of which I'm pretty sure I could have had a chance with, but I was simply too self-conscious and concerned what they'd think of me, worried I would get mocked or viewed as a weirdo if I flubbed something or didn't measure up to their standards. I was also concerned about messing up our friendship and making things awkward within our "click" as we typically were within mostly the same circle of friends.

I honestly don't particularly view myself as a total wallflower or weirdo or anything. I consider myself a fairly normal, fairly decent looking guy - but for some odd reason just nothing ever really happened with me when it came to women. In school I was in a thick shell of isolation, only hanging to a click of a small circle of dude friends. I don't particularly go out much, and in college and in my work life, I've mostly been around dudes as well. I've always felt I've just always sort of coasted my way through life in a fairly normal manner, and next thing I know, I'm a single 32 year old. Just flew by so fast..

I don't know for sure that I have social anxiety though I'm pretty sure I have at least a moderate case of it, and suspect I may even be slightly on the autism spectrum. Looking into the traits associated with these conditions I seem to exhibit a startling amount of both.. I mean hell, to my confusion, I'll even get irrationally anxious at times just going out with a group of guy friends I haven't seen in awhile.. I'm also quite a big introvert which doesn't exactly lend itself to relationships.

I went through sort of a "poor me" sulking phase in my late teens/early 20s but now I'm really trying to stay positive. Trying to remind myself that when I REALLY feel I'm ready and want a relationship I'll hunker down, kick my ass and go for it. I'm just not 100% at that point yet, but I do feel I'm inching towards it. I don't want to compound being alone for so long with feeling too down.

I'm making it a new years resolution of mine to start to get out there more, be at least a little more social and try and meet women. Whether that means join a class/club, go to bars, or simply hang out with friends more, I gotta start taking the initiative. It might be tough for me at first, but I can't accept this defeatist attitude, even if sometimes I feel shitty. I gotta shake it off.

[this ramble turned out a lot longer than I intended lol, guess I just had to get that out]
