What if being single is the only way I succeed in this lifetime?

[elontesler3]

seriously... all of my downfalls in life were being of a relationship that went bad. im getting too old for someone to ruin my life now and im genuinely curious if being single is the only way i will succeed in this lifetime

Succeeding in life to me does not depend on my marital status. I can be successful without being married or being in a relationship. Succeeding in life to me means having a great stable life and career if you have someone to share your goals and achievements great if not well, keep looking for me if you feel incomplete.

the end of every relationship made me lose every possession i owned and a lot of memeories and left me a trauma

Why do you give so much? If none of them was your wife you shouldn't give that much of yourself that's not a good thing.

Welcome to the revolution my friend. You have just learned the single biggest lesson in the life of a man. Women are drag chutes, boat anchors, speed brakes, dream crushing, life sucking, mostly soulless creatures; that happen to have breasts and vaginas.

You must get married to a woman that has faith in God, or else you will be running around the bush. Faithful women are good partners, and of course, you must be suitable for each other. People can help.

Like worm says in the the movie Rounders, "In the poker game of life women are the rake, they are the f***ing rake".

whats the rake mean? the winnings?

[Opinion Owner]

It's a scaled commission fee for the card room your playing at generally 2.5 to 10% of the pot (each hand), up to a predetermined maximum amount.

If you play poker win or lose the rake always rakes it's cut of the pot.

No problem! I played poker for about 7 years. And considering it's rise in pop culture after Robert Varkonyi and Chris Moneymaker winning the WSOP in 2002 and 03 respectively. I just always assume there isn't anyone that doesn't know what the rake is.
