i'll be 27 in about a month. for personal reasons, I went from the time i was 18 to about a week after i turned 21, without going on a date. now, lol, part of that was what brought me here in the first place.. a horrid oneitis, chasing her. i 'refused' to date anyone else. it wasn't even an option (i had it bad ya'll).
but the last 2 years was all me and to be totally honest, it was quite possibly the best decision i made in my life, and i'm not exaggerating.
i never was a bad looking guy and never did have too much problem getting women (it was keeping them that was my problem, when i opened up my mouth and spouted my afc rubbish, they'd run for the hills). i'd probably be shacked up with some kids, like any other 27 year old, probably married cause it was the thing to do, in debt becuase some woman convinced me she had to have this or she had to have that. i would not have had the time to make myself a better person.
NOw, I am engaged, but ti's to a woman who fits me like a freaking glove. I have a 2 year old child but it's a child I wanted. not a child that was forced upon me, with a woman I didn't want it with.
My point is, my original point is.. you do not know how far ahead of the game you are and dont' listen to these guys. I'm engaged and i'm telling you to fvck women, they aren't that serious. they really aren't.
that's it. AFC's are AFC's becuase they don't live life.
I think the real turning point in my DJism was the 100 day post I made here

**** changed my life and my outlook on women. YOU DON'T NEED THEM. it's not that they are mean, or they suck, or the hate you or wahtever the fv ck, they just aren't that important.
hell some of the best most fulfilling times in my life were when i was as free as a bird.
I go to the point where I Knew I didn't' need a woman. I was running a business, I had a good relationship with my sister at the time, I was reading, I was following my hobbies, I was killing it in the gym.. not even necessarily to get women, but becuase i was an athlete my whole life and that's what I do.. i work out. I feel good about me when I work out..
the feeling of working your ass off, going to the gym, working your ass off, then cleaning up and going to Barnes and noble, sitting on the patio and listening to some nice music while you drink some 10 dollar cup of coffee and read a magazine.. **** I dont' need a woman to make me happy. Some nice music, something good to read, some good food..
Or sitting at home and watching the godfather trilogy while drinking vodka and cranberry juice
or beating the living **** out of your friends in NCAA 20'whatever football
or reading a really good classic book like the brothers karamazov and getting sucked into it
or learning a new language
or just taking your damn self out to an expensive restaurant. one of the most memorable nights in my life was by my god damn self, the day i knew i wasn't gonna be broke anymore.. i took myself out to a Chinese restaurant and could give a flying **** if i had a woman with me
life's little pleasures.
I think alot of guy's dont' know how to appreciate life's little pleasures.
then, one day, i saw a woman, that after 3 years... peeked my interest. she wasn't just cute. she was spunky as ****, and I like that. I knew i would enjoy myself if i took her out, so I asked her out and she said yes and that was the end of the 3 years (and boy did we have fun)
But even know if my fiancee walked out i know i can survive. i have survived. while I am very happy, and while she makes me happy, she isn't the REASON I'm happy if that makes sense. i'm not saying it wouldn't suck but i'm 100% sure i'll move on.
I"m not all that familiar with it.. but you know how like, all the BYU football players have to go on a "mission" for 2 years before they can play football, it's really no different.
I think all men should go on a 2 year Mission. become a man, figure out who the **** you are, pick up some hobbies, develop interests, figure out a career path and make legit endroads into doing it.
I've gone 3 years without dating. the day i met my fiancee i had 4 plates and was working on 2 more. there was a time i was literarly knee deep in ass 7 nights a week if i so chose. And at some point, you just want more out of life. women aren't that damn important. You do not need them to be happy. at all. I was just as happy (and at times, happier) without ass than I was with.
it's just a different type of happy
