Do you have a significant other?

[Tedius Zanarukando]

This thread is in time for Valentine's Day. I never had a significant other, and I never want one. I do not believe in romantic love. I had a bad experience with the female sex, and I do not want to be bothered with females. Getting along with females on a co-worker level is no problem, but getting along with them on an intimate level is a big deal to me. Please do not get me started on discussing feminism or female fashion. I would be a more responsible man if I were a husband. I have enough responsibilities as it is. Those responsibilities can mar me of gamerhood. I would rather be a hardcore gamer than a husband and/or father. Falling in love can be a pain.

I never had a significant other,

That's no surprise, considering what a sexist misogynist you are.

I had a bad experience with the female sex, and I do not want to be bothered females.

In other words you're a quitter and if something doesn't work right the first time you say fuck it.

Please do not get me started on discussing feminism or female fashion.

How can you expect the topics NOT to come up with a thread like this?

I would be a more responsible man if I were a husband.

Because you'd have the responsibility of making your wife cook, clean and stay home with the kids, amirite?

I have enough responsibilities as it is. Those responsibilities can mar me of gamerhood. I would rather be a hardcore gamer than a husband and/or father.

lolwut? Epic fail. Have fun being old when only your videogame console is at your deathbed.

I am married. I used to feel that I could not settle down with anybody either. Until my wife came into my life. Our first few months of dating were laced with a lot of fights. We had most of our fights before we got married. We had a few after. But for the most part we have been great for each other. It is also good to know that you do not have to handle problems alone. Another great thing is having a family to care for.

I used to say it is better to be alone than be in a bad relationship. But now I know that it is best to find a soul mate.

Happy Valentines Day all. I guess I should go join my wife now. I bid you all a great night and day tomorrow.

I've known my boyfriend for 8 years now, been in a serious relationship with him for almost 2 years

We dated before but I didn't want it to get to far since I was going away to college and I didn't know if we would be able to handle a long distance relationship so soon. We ended up taking a break from each other and got back together 4 months later and have been together ever since.

I know he really wants to propose to me, but I told him I want him to wait till after I graduate from college first. We basically live together already (even though we do sleep in separate rooms still) and I can really see myself spending the rest of my life with him, and I know he feels the same way about me.

I know he already has the ring, but he can't propose to me till after January of 2009, and even though I already know the answer is yes, I still want to wait just to see where my life is at after school.

I had a shady past. Back when I was in high school ten to twelve years ago, I once had unrequited love for my classmate. She only liked me as a friend, thus unrequited love. She was an honor student and served on my senior yearbook staff. Her male cousin, also a friend of mine, was a great athletic icon. She and I first met each other at the age of four, but after two years, I forgot her. I got to know her again at the age of 13. Through my high school years, my thoughts dwelled on her nonstop and I called her on the telephone quite often, but not everyday. In 1997, I was accused of harrassing her. I had long, significant moments with her in 1996 and 1998. Unfortunately, the relationship ended via excommunication of her. I also feel that getting a second chance with the female sex will get a worse outcome.

Before I quote you, let me say I am happily married and have been for 5 years. This November we'll be together for 8 years and this July married for 6. I love my husband more than anything. He's what makes waking up every single morning worth it. He's what brings the honest joy in my life and the moment he walks in the door when he gets home from work, my heart just races because of how excited I am to have him back by my side again.

This thread is in time for Valentine's Day. I never had a significant other, and I never want one. I do not believe in romantic love. I had a bad experience with the female sex, and I do not want to be bothered with females.

Would you honestly let one bad experience put you off of the opposite sex forever? I mean are you the type who wants to spend the rest of his life alone? =/ That seems like a pretty sad life if you ask me. Not all women are the same.

Getting along with females on a co-worker level is no problem, but getting along with them on an intimate level is a big deal to me.

Because of one bad experience? You really should give other women the benefit of the doubt instead of being so hasty to judge them based on a bad experience. I reiterate: not all women are the same. Give it a chance. You never know what the outcome will be.

Please do not get me started on discussing feminism or female fashion.

We won't even go there......

I would be a more responsible man if I were a husband. I have enough responsibilities as it is. Those responsibilities can mar me of gamerhood. I would rather be a hardcore gamer than a husband and/or father. Falling in love can be a pain.

So gaming is more important to you than having a family? You couldn't even begin to understand the joys that being a husband and fatherhood brings to a lot of males. My husband is a prime example. Holding his firstborn son in his arms changed a lot of his ways with life and seeing him next to his son and loving him as much as he does every single day, is beautiful. Having a family is a gift. Being a hardcore gamer is just...I don't think there's even a word to describe it...I'd chose my family over gaming anyday. I'd give up my PS2 and all my games just to feed them. They're real, they're humans with real emotions, flesh and blood. They aren't just pixels on a screen that disappear when you turn it off and that truly is a gift. Never take it for granted.

I voted for "Yes, and we are engaged" but were not. You should have "Yes, and we have a long term/Serious relationship."

My boyfriend and I have been going out for two years now. Yes, we've had some fights but we never came close to breaking up. *knocks on wood* >_> Anyways, I do hope that we continue to stay together. Yes, I do love him very much, he has helped me with so much.

Those responsibilities can mar me of gamerhood. I would rather be a hardcore gamer than a husband and/or father. Falling in love can be a pain.

Ummm.... You know, I know quite a few couples that are both gamers. My boyfriend and I play WoW together, we both invest in consoles, we play video games with each other, and we discuss about them quite often. That doesn't stop us from our responsibilities. Even couples who have kids manage to have free time to play games.

By the way, just playing Final Fantasy doesn't make you a hardcore gamer.

Uhh also, having one experience with a girl doesn't have to ruin it for you.

 

[Tedius Zanarukando]

I honestly would let my past experience cut me away from the female sex forever. Therefore, I honestly give up on pursuing romantic love. I feel that romantic love is an endurance rather than an enjoyment. As I said in my previous post, I feel that a second chance with the female sex will most likely end up with a more hostile outcome. I am also concerned about the financial risks of divorce and the court bias against fathers in custody battles. I do not want to have to pay alimony to my future ex-wife.

 

[Soulcorruptor]

Really I have no significant other in my life. I honestly have had quite a few bad experiences with women, with where I was in my life. Some of thos situations I look back upon and realized I probably was not mature enough to have a relationship. Though where I am right now is a diffrent story, it kinda sucks not having that other person around. So hopefully once more of my life comes together I can find that special someone, I will not let these bad experiences hold me down nor back.

And just how on earth can you justify that on only one experience? Haven't you ever heard of taking risks, giving the benefit of the doubt? How do you know a second chance on females would turn out bad unless you had it planted in your own narrow mind that you would be the one to make the outcome bad? You don't know what's going to happen. It's sad that you would convince yourself that if you tried to go out with another girl would end up the way you seem to deem it.

edit: dammit Lost Soul, you ninja'd me! xD

So you'll give up on it forever and just be a lonely old fart playing games? Look, letting one experience make you write off something forever is stupid. Especially since it was a highschool crush. You can't expect relationships like that to last, people aren't mature enough at that age and are just too young to settle down.

But I suppose it doesn't matter, you won't ever get a girl with your sexist attitude.

Ever heard of a prenump or prenumptual agreements? If something like that were to even happen, when you got married, you'd sign a prenump. What's hers is hers and yours is yours. If you had children? Naturally being a father you'd have to pay child support and that's the responsible thing to do as an adult, which you're currently not striking me as...how sad. Most adults have a better sense of relationships and decent heads on their shoulders as opposed to high school kids. Are you still stuck in that mindframe? I truly pity you. Honestly, I cannot believe what a negative attitude you have. It's really disheartening to be truthful.

 

[Scarlet]

Tedius, you do realize that lonely, old men have a high suicide correct rate? They have nothing to live for, no wife and no kids. Even widowed old men have a high suicide rate. Just saying, lonely people tend to a depressing life.

 

[Lady of Shadows]

My guy and I have been together for almost four years, have known each other for six, and I chose the "engaged" option because there wasn't a long-term relationship option We may as well be engaged though, truthfully

My Trevor and I are both gamers, he quite diehard. That hasn't stopped him from being a very devoted boyfriend, and gaming hasn't stopped me from being a very devoted girlfriend.

Edit: No, I'm not sorry you feel this way. You don't deserve a woman. Not whatsoever, not EVER, not with your disgusting viewpoints on my gender. Oh look! *GASP* I'M WEARING JEANS! TELL TREVOR TO BEAT ME AND MAKE ME GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN! Ohhh woe is me *puts on long wig and trips around in a skirt* I am inferior, I am woman, hear me cry!

Ugh. Fricking seriously. Do you play FF games and curse the female characters for having short hair and not wearing skirts? I can imagine you do.

 

[Tedius Zanarukando]

How could I give romantic love one more chance? I just do not understand women. What I have learned throughout my life concerning women has something to do with my disbelief in romantic love. I had strict Christian upbringing, and that is one thing that contributed to the problem with getting along with females on an intimate level. I blame my former religion Jehovah's Witnesses for my dark, clouded future with the female sex. I will have to think significantly hard on whether I want to give romantic love one more chance. I have a maternal uncle who never married and he is in his late 60's. I have a brother, who is the oldest (while I am the youngest) of the three brothers, who is 37 and never married.

I know that the Final Fantasy series is very popular among both sexes. Most Final Fantasy fans I know in person are male. I know only one female Final Fantasy fan, but she is in her 40s. I would not want a non-gamer wife.

The one I had unrequited love with in high school is a non-gamer. She was very nice to others including me. She still lives in the place where I grew up, but, as of June 28, 2007, I no longer live there. Her name is

Spoiler

Terez

. I no longer live with my parents, thus I am living alone. I do not have a driver's license, so it makes it difficult for me to give romantic love another chance.

 

[Fair_Game]

Yo friend, I'd take it according to you I got lucky! My Fiance is a bigger FF fan than I am!

I know how you feel about the whole religion kinda brainwashing you against romance but its still possible. Give love a chance ya ya ya!

EDIT : As for DL they're pretty easy to get, seriously it just takes the motivation to actually go and get one!

 

[Rockman X]

Obviously That's why you take the time to get to know them and learn about them. It's a simple concept, actually.

I had strict Christian upbringing, and that is one thing that contributed to the problem with getting along with females on an intimate level. I blame my former religion Jehovah's Witnesses for my dark, clouded future with the female sex.

Okay first off, Christianity ≠ Jehova's Witness. HUGE difference there, mah boi. Secondly, I can understand a shitty religion jading your views, however, if you allow it to affect your future you are only letting it control you.

I will have to think significantly hard on whether I want to give romantic love one more chance. I have a maternal uncle who never married and he is in his late 60's. I have a brother, who is the oldest (while I am the youngest) of the three brothers, who is 37 and never married.

And your point is.....? So what they never married? They aren't you.

Why the hell do you keep saying unrequited? Are you trying to make yourself sound like a victim, like we should pity you because she didn't love you back?

So go out and get a driver's license, it's not that hard. Or take the bus into town. Or buy a motorcycle. Or a bicycle even. There are plenty of methods to get around, but you seem to prefer sitting in your room playing videogames while demonizing women.

 

[SapphireStar]

If you want to be a gamer all your life, go ahead. It means women out there dont have to worry about old fashion scum like you, getting them to wash, cook and wipe your arse for you ...

Anyway, Ive been with my boyfriend for a year now and we have discussed moving in with each other. And we did joke about marriage last night and he seemed serious about it!

And wheres the damn option:

Yes and we are seriosu? Im adding it.

 

[Shadowfaith]

I really never thought I would get someone, NEVER. I wen't through a stage of thinking there was something wrong with me because no one seemed to like me, not even in a friendly manner y'know. It sucked. But two years ago my work place opened and I started a new, I got some confidence because I had some friends (yes, I didn't even have friends, was litterally the loner, no joke) and some of the guy's were actually taking interest in me, be it on a friendly basses or not.

Fair to say I had my flings, one person in particular really upset me, but meh, lifes a bitch really. Just get on with it I suppose. But yeah anyways, I know this is gonna sound slutish or something, but yeah started to date my manager (9 years older than me!) XP But then again...he didn't act like a manager. This is the dude who ran a cinema and let us skip work to go and watch parts of a film whilst drinking vodka slushies XP

Anyhoo! Now we've been going out for about a year, had some awesome times...had some bad times, but they've allways been overcome and were pretty much settled and happy with everything. I know its only been a year and stuff, but I'm happy and he's happy. Someone upset him once, someone upset me once. We just want someone to be with really.

OMG, Mushy!!!

But yeah, happy Valentines Day!!!

This kinda sounds like the start of a romance tragedy x_x But on a serious note (well as seriouse as I can be). Dude, you really need to stop living in the dark, it ain't good for you at all, y'know. I know you were hurt and everything, but jeeze! Everyone gets hurt at least once in they're lives. So one girl ditched you, join the 100 kadjilion more people that have been in the same boat as you.

I know your just gonna probably brush this off...in which case I don't know why I'm bothering, but there's always someone out there, dude. And if your just gonna rot your brain in a room playing games then thats up to you really, ain't it, but a girlfriend doesn't have to like the same things as you to be good for you. And even if you are looking for someone like that, theres loads of 'em out there.

And they're right, your tryingt o make yourself sound like the victim, just because she didn't love you back. Dude, when someone cheats on you for no reason what so ever...now that bloody hurts big time! Then you can class yourself as a victim. But at the moment, you just aren't trying hard enough! You really haven't felt pain yet and believe me you will probably have to go through it at least once until you find the girl for you...thats life unfortunantly, I'm not gonna lie to you.

Nope, don't have one, and don't want one. But we're not in the same shoes here, I'm just biding my time until I squeeze out of the grasp that is High School era.

So at the moment, I wouldn't even consider it. Usually girls that surround me are idiots, drama queens, and are overall just sad. I can't stand the whole drama queen bit, I fucking hate IRL drama. Especially when it makes no fucking sense at all. It's a waste of my time, and makes my throat hurt from yelling and/or screaming. I'm a very expressive guy.

Tugs the heartstrings, too.

fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuckerson

Had to get that out of my system. =D
