I have the utmost respect for men here who have chosen the life path of a monogamous partner, or who have chosen the life path of a father. I wish you and your family all the best. Apply your energy and time to your life, and live it fully; live it successfully. Godspeed to you. But be forewarned. I am not here at this forum to talk to you. I have already made my decision about where my life is going. Your future attempts at proselytizing me will be ignored.

I have a suspicion that what this translates out to is that you're not here to talk to anyone here, then...except for you.

I'm sorry that you are experiencing such a complete sense of disconnection from healthy relationships and social maturity. And I say that with genuine sympathy, not dismissively. You must be very lonely and angry. But the fact that you perceive everyone here as in denial should be a clue for you that your perception of the reality of women and relating to them is so far from the norm that it is not merely alternative or rebellious, but simply beyond the pale of reason.

Because you can spin your point any way you like it, but it still essentially boils down to a stew of psychological dysfunctions and misogyny. Doesn't mean I will try to talk you out of it. You've made your decisions about how you want to live your life. But that doesn't mean that the rest of us can't acknowledge that the choices you describe are unhealthy, misfounded, and aesthetically unpleasant.
