Not entirely. The juice just doesn't seem worth the squeeze.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Totally chickening out.
"And enough with the metaphors, all right? That's an order."

Marriage and parenthood can be exceptionally remedial against that millennial narcissism, so you might want to consider them more.

Not until you taste it--just to be sure whether it was or not) Anyway, nice idiom.

VictorB,
Well, I seem to have tasted it, and I am glad to have avoided the worst.
Tying the knot would have brought nothing but a catastrophe upon me.
You may call it 'chickening out', whatever, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

I wouldn't say that I had any trouble socializing with women. As I am getting older, the game seems to be becoming considerably easier as my skills, assets and wealth are gradually accumulating.
The thing is, the older I am, the less novelty they bring.

I see them hitting the wall and grasping at straws. I am glad to have avoided being someone's else backup plan.

Once, I rejected a girl with whom I used to be high over heels in love back in school. No sooner had I landed a successful career, though, than she resurfaced and tried to lure me in with her bs. I was wise enough to trust my gut and see through it, so I didn't invest as much as I could. She was narcissistic, her mother never worked (a huge red flag!), she was covered in lots of tattoos. Red flags were coming thick and fast. I shouldn't have bedded her down at all, wasn't worth it.
Not surprisingly, once we started to have some quarrels, she monkey-branched off me. Eventually, she ended up marrying the guy she used to sit side by side with in her school. She used to be pretty, but now she looks like a pile of fat. A bullet dodged.

I see single mothers trying to take advantage of me.

I see girls my own age doing all sorts of crazy stuff, and I can't but ask myself: are some moments of lounging in this post-coital glow worth it?

I see younger women, and very few of them can sustain a semblance of meaningful dialogue.

Women feel as if they were entitled to everything. And, indeed, many of them are.

I don't fancy the prospect of being cucked, sued, falsely accused of something I never did, and ripped off.
I am getting pickier. Perhaps, after all my poor choices, I should be glad to have arrived at this conclusion.
Should I meet a person who will seem to be right, I'll go for it. With a prenup, of course. If I don't meet this woman, so be it. I am pretty content with being single for the time being. We owe our 20s to ourselves, and I am trying to get the most out of this time.

Dude, reveling in your own superiority will do nothing to heal your inner insecurity. In fact, it will only cement it. All this bravado will not make you a better person. I’m dead serious now. You are in desperate need of a mate.

could it be that your, not yet fully "accumulated" assets were the deal- breaker ? )

I doubt.
Besides, my potential could be already seen.

The discussion seems to have gone off on a tangent, anyway.

paveltashkinov,
Women feel as if they were entitled to everything.
Dude, I am totally with you on this one, women are by their very nature extremely dangerous creatures and always on the lookout for a prospective mate while most of the men are just blabbering idiots being entirely controlled by the fair sex without even relising it!

Women are well equipped by (women-loving) nature to keep men on a short leash.

A disarming smile!

Swishing their booty from side to side!

And of course when it doesn't help and a man still stands his ground desperately deflecting attacks coming from left and right, women resort to their most "secret" source of power over men - a pair of deliciously looking mammary glands which we lovingly call boobs.

Oh my, what I have just found :( That's the end of you, buddy. Not sure that you'll be able to put up a real fight if they use this technique on you.
Seduction Tip 7: Show Off Your Intellectual Side
If you’re thinking you need to play down your smarts to learn how to seduce a man, you’re wrong. Most men, especially pavel-sapiosexuals — also known as nymphobrainiacs — get turned on by intelligence. If you know you’re smarter than a rocket scientist, then let it shine!

Note: there’s a fine line between showing off your intellectual side and just being a know-it-all. If you’re trying to seduce a guy, you can talk about books you’ve read and things you’re interested in, but don’t start correcting him if he says something wrong.

Him: …you know, since the sun revolves around the Earth…

You: Actually…

Nothing will kill a man’s libido faster than being corrected. So just leave it.

This is particularly useful if you meet a guy through a dating app since you often have some great meat about what he’s into. If you see a book or topic he’s interested in on his dating profile, bring it up. The more obscure, the better. He’ll be blown away that you even know about it! (Just make sure you actually do).

Well, you said it... That's exactly what keeps us girls on the permanent lookout. Hoping to get an idiot who's at least not blabbering. Or not blabbering quite so much. Or at least not about himself all the time.
Hope springs eternal...

these airheaded bimbos who're just after their assets ..

Well, I'm yet to see anything practical other than those desperate pleas of a rabbit about to be swallowed by a python (see mustang's musings above). Come on, you weathered veterans, lend your bro a helping hand here. What's a poor guy to do in this cruel female world?

Since he is capable of typing text, he has at least one hand. That is all he needs to help himself. :)

Indeed. I thought of this splitting but didn't know it was actually used.
