You know what, I didn't really plan out the thread / discussion, when I made the OP. It was basically random, but the larger ideas are things that
I've spent years contemplating, as things that were basically forced into my life and mind. Don't worry though, I'm over everything now, I managed to
force a positive new mindstate in 2020 onward. I was only distracted and miserable for 10 years, before that, lol.
So I posted out of curiosity of people's responses, on a random whim.
Anyways jeez, I guess everyone is a prude around here, LOL!! There's a severe lack of personal reports in this thread. Maybe I should have framed it
differently.
Anyways thanks to the folks who acknowledge that it's not terrible to just wonder and discuss such ideas. This isn't a gender-bashing thread, as some
folks were mistaken about that.
The traits of HONESTY and loyalty etc. are character traits, so it's complex characteristics that boil down to an individual, not a gender.
Really, as I said earlier, the gender part is basically that there are just some basic gender differences of how sex works. And the fact is, that it
puts one gender in a special privileged place, it's really just nature / biology. Men are basically always starving, and notoriously non-discerning
of who they engage with physically... because after all, the real issue is that we are always feeling like we're starving, and that's the real issue
to take care of. It's why men are not choosy, lol, because they're addressing their own individual starvation, each day, so that's the main
importance, more than the other participant, maybe.
This is really disgusting but it's nature & biology.
And then women apparently have less sex drive, generally, while they're all surrounded by starving men, all the time. It obviously puts ladies in
that position of choosing who, if any, disgusting men to embrace, out of the teeming masses of starving primates.
So anyways, the pure biology of it all, does give a different role to men and women, generally, and it gives women like 1,000% more ability to just
choose whatever partners they want, including the option of collecting sexual partners over the years, as I described my ex-gf earlier.
Now before that relationship ran its course, I never really even thought of dating & infidelity in such terms, i.e. I never really thought of fairly
normal women, just collecting sex partners over their life, like that. And then to just routinely hook up with her group of sexual buddies, just
indefinitely, regardless of actually dating a sucker nice guy.
My previous long-term relationship had been very honest and trusting, and faithful, etc., so I never even thought of such an arrangement, lol.
And if we're honest about it, then it's a good strategy that such women have, in collecting sex partners, over the years, like that.
Probably we should ALL be doing that, lol. The only problematic part is the honesty / dishonesty. I just really believe in honesty being important
in life, and in relationships, etc.
So I think we should ALL collect our favorite sex partners over our life, and we should keep hooking up with them, if possible.
I just think we should be honest about it, at least with a dating partner, at the very least.
My relationship with my ex took forever to reflect on, and re-form my ideas about the entire 6 years with her, once I realized she had been unfaithful
all along, it actually takes a few years to adjust your memories and your ideas about those years of your life.
But so eventually, I realized that her constant unfaithfulness, was the explanation for a lot of dynamics in the relationship, that I didn't
completely understand, during the actual relationship.
For example, her near total lack of sexual interest... in retrospect, makes a lot more sense, when I realized that she was actually always getting
f*cked-out by her friends all the time, lol. So then it's automatic that there was no more sexual interest for the actual sucker boyfriend, lol.
But so that's the kind of reason that honesty is important, though. Dating and living together, talking of marriage etc., both people should really
just KNOW whether their partner is banging other people or not.
Because it affects the entire relationship with dynamics that are otherwise pretty incomprehensible, without knowing what's actually going on...
Plus, fair is fair, so if one partner is always banging her friends, then the partner should ALSO have the same freedoms, obviously. It's just basic
fairness.
But oh well, god bless everyone. The 6 years dating were actually genuinely LOVING and wholesome, so that was the real relationship.
And people's personal activities are really MOSTLY nothing to do with anyone else, anyway, so that's how I keep my outlook now. I spent years
contemplating the different implied disrespect and insult etc. but truly, it's the MOST true that people's personal choices, in their solitude, really
have almost-nothing to do with anyone else. So it's MOST true that there's really NOT all the disrespect and insult. It's most true that people just
do what they want, in their personal time, and really nothing to do with anyone else.
It's similar to a person's eating-habits when they're alone. Whether they secretly indulge in junk food, or whether they eat healthy food, when
they're alone, the bottom line is that they eat what they WANT to, and we all need to just own our own actions and choices.
We can't blame our solitary choices on anyone but ourselves.
