Absolutely not. That may be a fitting solution for some men, but not for me. My way of thinking is, "Why should I have to pay for something the vast majority of society gets to do for free"? It's kind of a cold, calculating way to phrase it, but that's the gist of it. I can think of few things I'd find more degrading than paying for sex.
I agree with this 100%.
I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I would rather die, than accept the
insult, the utter
humiliation of having to pay for what others get naturally as a result of just being the way they are.
Keep in mind we're talking about getting a romantic relationship here - something that is a common desire to almost all people, that people of all body types, levels of physical health and mental ability, and socioeconomic class/status have been able to do. This is something that most people all over the world take for granted as a given part of normal life - NOT something like owning an exotic car, or becoming famous. The way some people talk about romantic relationships as this exotic "extra", this luxury item that you have to bust your ass for, you would think we were talking about becoming a CEO, a professional athlete, or a celebrity.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it's always seemed to me that most people put ZERO conscious effort into their lives, personalities, thoughts and ideas, thinking about why they are the way they are and designing themselves as a person. They just keep being the same way they've always been, year after year, and life just kinda works out for them. They never question anything about themselves, life, the world, because they don't have to - life doesn't
make them. Most people I grew up with just seemed like they were winging it. You were "cool" if you partied all the time and didn't care about anything. These people
never looked like they were stressed out about life because they cared a lot about things and were losing their minds over it. Maybe "who cares" was just the spirit of the '90s and early '00s, and it's different/worse now. I don't know.
I guess it's possible that they really
did care a lot, and put conscious effort into an appearance of not caring, because it was considered "cool" to not care. But it always seemed to me like they just were the way they were, and life just worked out for them no problem.
If my problem is that I'm not a professional athlete, rock star, etc., well, neither are most guys, and it doesn't stop them, so what gives?
