If your unconsciously have no affect of not being in a relationship with someone then cool! but a lot guys and girks out there accepted their negative views as truth.. e g "im a loser no one will ever like me ill just settle for this" or "i got a good low paying job but i know i can do better but oh well its a lot of work im not up to do.. whats the point". in other words, if its something one needs and they somehow reason away what they need to do they'll end up being miserable.
Can i be as bold as to summerize that with "If you want something but end up not going for it, you didn't want it enough"? I can attest to the miserable part, but i guess i dont want it enough anymore, even if the opposite makes me miserable.
@Jackieboi id think wants are changeable if we said "If you need something but ebd up not going for, you didn't need it?"
Needs are more organically embedded to an individual's well being.. sense of fulfillment. Im no better.. Im one who is very free spirited and has no longer been living by that force. Now at age 33 I've lost myself. So what I need to do is to not watch tv all day when I should be doing work to reconnect with myself. I play games all day long too.. but at the end of the day.. If i dont then my future won't be much as ill need to create. Needs are much harder to give to ourselves and we end up taking the easy route. All im doing is what? creating distraction.
So if one really deep down knows , irregardless of their philosophical knowledge from books, they need to be in a relationship then get to work. Even if it means adjusting ones expectations on what kind of guy/girl theyll get.
To me, life us a game and being in a relationship is like not playing pvp/pve in WoW.. there are a lot if cool benefits we get. If i just play WoW to level up my character then im not playing the game to its fullest potential. If we have one death and life means nothing at the end.. then experiencing life in all its flavors is the whole point. Even if it means one needs to start off on a different level than others then thats what we work with. In thus this analogy, when i first started playing wow backing in its vanilla days... my friends all got the game down.. i on the other hand had a hard time learning all the varying specs and controls. The controls were my weakness.. so i had to train myself to knkw my keyboard really well. then understand my warrior.. next specs.. then overtime i understood the effects my soecs had over another player. We all need love and relationships.. even the most freedom loving people like myself need it.
lacking the need to be in a relationship isn't a problem.. the problem is deeper than that.
@Jackieboi Simply if we block ourselves from our needs... it doesn't mean we dont need it.. it means we are scared. Settling.. keeping status quo.. till we had enough.
Aside from food and freedom i dont think we have anymore needs. F maslow, he lived in a different time. The rest of your socalled needs is only shit projected onto me be people deathly afraid to go through life alone. I think you misunderstand me, i wouldn't mind having a SO but i dont need it, no matter what you may be trying to project onto me.
@Jackieboi Its not projection. Overall point is its up to you to determine your needs. If my needs are that i need to feel useful or need love then i better make sure im not going to reason it away. If you feel like you dont need any relationship then cool. Its obvious that i dont know you. dont be too not picky with one sentence vs my total points.
Dont get me wrong i migh think otherwise in 10-20 years. But rn, all i hear is a lot of lonely people crying while i rub one off every now and then. Usually when the sacks are so full i come half way through erection. You might think its sad or something, you're free to do so. But honestly im quite satisfied, what makes me miserable is missing my own territory, not som bitch who wants me to believe i can't do without her😕 TERRITORY. Sorry if you are insignificant in all of that.
@Jackieboi Per aforementioned, my points were made let me copy paste
If your unconsciously have no affect of not being in a relationship with someone then cool! but a lot guys and girks out there accepted their negative views as truth.. e g "im a loser no one will ever like me ill just settle for this" or "i got a good low paying job but i know i can do better but oh well its a lot of work im not up to do.. whats the point". in other words, if its something one needs and they somehow reason away what they need to do they'll end up being miserable.
THAT simple.
I know, i read that and agree. Im turning more hostile by the minute sorry. I know im not a loser, i just have one thing thats more important than anything else. TERRITORY. With something thats mine and Mine alone, a place where my word is law where im the dictator and anyone who dares speak up gets their head cracked open over the table no matter their gender, i will never be satisfied. Considering ill have to pick up a loan and pay it back until im 60 i can't really see any way to achieve that. Other than maybe work my ass off day and night until i can afford something microscopic, then fix that up, sell it and use the money for something bigger. Then rince and repeat. Upontil now I've been too lazy to start something like that, but im on the verge of doing the no life day and night work thing, guess i should only want it even abit more tham i currently do. A SO only fits into this if she has something to contribute, it doesn't matter how hot she is, it doesn't matter how wonderfum person she is. Either she has something to contribute with and well take it from there or she can suck it. It falls under the freedom part of the two only needs a human being really needs. The freedom to not answer to the man. The privilege! Anyone else is welcome contribute or f off😊
im not judging you sorry you feel this way. As long as you know your needs then great but I only stressed above for the sake of artful conversation.. topic of needs vs wants.
Its ok it took a long time to realize lonelyness wasn't the problem but rather lack of freedom. But as i said i wouldn't mind a SO, im just doing a piss poor job of finding one as per OP post, and so dont really expect someone to serve themselves on a silver platter. Sorry if im hostile, its learned behaviour through tons of time wasted having to listen to people who are in relationships but still lonely af, trying to teach me something they often seem to have less understanding about than myself who is not nor lonely.
Haha guess who is projecting😋. I reread my syntax and structure of opinion no way i thought I was shitting on you.
Im the same way I hate having people tell me advice "you should a.. b.. c" but its also equally important to handle ourselves with grace. The art of a conversation is 1. to let others be entitled to their opinion. I think for instance its bad for me as after years of distracting and distancing myself.. obtaining my goals. Im now realizing needs are never changing and our day to day wants are. Understanding the slight differences could change the way we decide our own realities. My main opinion points also indicated this. I hope you get a so that fits your needs one day! ciao
Not sure i understand the shitting on me part, but i never thought you were. I was at a restaurant well on my way finishing my 2nd beer on an empty stomach while waiting for food, in no need of another lecture yet i did kinda ask for one didn't i. I did however add fairly early it might all change in 10-20 years and apologize for the hostility😉 ciao bella
I mean I feel kinda sad that that's what my gender makes you feel like. Maybe you just haven't met the right girl. I mean we girls aren't supposed to be burdens who only complain and are frustrating to be with. Or at least, I hope I'm not like that.
But if that's how you feel, don't let anyone else judge you on that. No one has the right.
I'm just glad you're not my boyfriend!! ;)
Okay I don't know if I'm supposed to feel bad about that last part 😂
Nah don't feel bad :)
My boyfriend loves games just as much as you do, but he also loves me. That's because I let him play play games when he wants and I don't force him not to play. I respect that games are what he likes to do, and he also respects that he can play his games, but spend time with me as well
Advice from a guy who plays too much Rocket League and is lonely because he can't find a girlfriend.
Have you ever been in a relationship where you both truly love each other? I'm not saying you should stop gaming and find a girlfriend but it might do you good to put out some feelers, see where things go. If you don't give yourself a chance, neither will anyone else. I say that because a girl can bring you a lot more than games can: love, care, understanding, new opportunities, can seriously change your life and can make you smile like at idiot for no reason at any random time without her being there!!
in my opinion I think it's bullshit when people say you have to improve yourself to attract someone. Improve yourself for you, not someone else.
If you’re happy gaming, cool. If you do want a girl later in life, find one who likes gaming just as much as you do. If not, that’s cool too. You don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy; it’s not a requirement. There are people who love being single.
The key is to be single BY CHOICE... not single cauz you can't find someone.
I thought some popular video games had hot, trashy women in them! Isn't that part of why some guys like them?
Personally, I never got into the gaming thing, as my hand-eye coordination isn't so good! I'm more the 'Strategist' kind with Total Annihilation, and Starcraft. Not many women in those!
Just a side hobby for me, really, and I prefer to be with her, and doing things with her, rather than those games!!
1. Nothing wrong with playing video games within constraints.
2. Change your perspective of the situation from money to quality of life. Video games while a great source of entertainment, cannot fullfill all your needs.
3. Believe it or not, having someone beside you, who is the right person for you plays a pivotal role in your life's overall development.
I have stated these 3 points. It's further upon you to ponder upon them. Cheers
Electronic entertainment is good, but it can't hold you tight at 300am, or keep your dick wet.
Why not find a 4/10, slightly overweight gamer girl? They're a of really sweet below average girls out there that would like nothing more than to hang with you, game, slam cheese pizzas, and fuck.
There's a lot to be said for companionship...
Too much of ANTHING can be bad, but it's your choice, and maybe one day you might put the games away and look at women in a different light. Just don't end up like one of those Japanese nerd guys who actually fall in love with anime girl holograms. Those guys are pathetic.
A video game will not reject your approach; or make a false rape allegation; or a false #MeToo allegation; or a false domestic violence allegation; or cheat on you; or cuckold you; or use a court to steal everything that you own; or use a court to transform you into her child and/or spousal support slave; or send you to prison because you could not pay the child support.
By comparison to human females, video games have much to offer.
Unless you get with an independent woman for the practical reason of combining resources for children you are at a financial loss, but you don't have to marry someone to have kids together. However, there are financial benefits of being married.

It's always good to improve ourselves, just for us. You can indeed live a nice life as single. But you gotta be sure that's really what you want. I've never see changing ourselves for others as a bad thing, we improve, and others are just the catalyst for thya improvement.
I think you can do it if you decide to. But both choices are legitimate tbh
Is it bad? No not necessarily
BUT.. is it healthy? NO! Go out & socialize every once in a while little by little ik, games are fun but you have to have a life outside of them as well (:
It's not the life I would want for myself, but if it makes you happy, then go for it.
To your point though, I have noticed that women have really been bothering me lately, and I'm not sure that I especially even like most women. I don't mean that in an "I'm going gay," sort of way, but more in a "I do not like who women are as people," sort of way. It kind of scares me, honestly.
It's not a bad thing.
Video games, among some other things, are more important than women.
Am a gamer, and am not gay, but when you look at the problems and stress involved in having a relationship or even trying to start one, then you'd understand how games are better.
Don't get so addicted though, that women become strange beings to you lol.
Kind of. Games will only get better, then you really won’t want women. If it starts taking over your life, thats when you realize that you may have an addiction which to some standards is a mental problem.
Yes it's your choice. If you don't like spending time with women it's better for you. But video games is also an another form of addiction. If you don't mind please try spending time with any kind hearted women you may experience something special beyond and more than sexual satisfaction
Perhaps your asexual? Not judging mind you. Your preference to play video games and not date is your choice. If it makes you happy and fulfills your life then who’s to say it’s wrong?
You assume I'm Asexual for?
No assumption, was a thought. You state you have no desire to have a relationship. Have you ever considered that? If it’s simply not wanting to put forth the effort that is your choice and like I said of it makes you happy, then cool.
I just don't think it's worth it. Love feels more like a transaction than anything else. I honestly don't really think I need it in my life ever
Looks*
That’s your choice and no one can tell you it’s wrong. Just a side note: not all women expect a dude to pay for everything. If you don’t want it to be about money, just say that from the get go, that everything will be split. Then it isn’t a transaction but a mutual enjoyment that was paid for by individuals
I think the problem here is that you're generalizing women in relationships. Every woman don't make you spend money or have drama or go to clubs. But It's totally ok if you don't want a relationship. To each their own.
I think it's better for women that you prefer video games.
Why do you say that?
I agree
Why does it matter? It's a win-win. You are spared women and can jerk off to your video games or whatever, and women are spared to be with you. It's perfect.
