The root problem is
needing a woman to feel good in life. I'm not about to say your way is wrong, but it has one massive downside.
Spinning plates
satisfies the need, it does not
remove it. It works fine as long as you keep spinning plates, but what are you without your plates? Same really goes for finding "the one" (for the record I don't believe in a "one"), it
satisfies the need, but what are they without?
I once thought I couldn't be happy without women, I considering going down the road you're going, but wasn't satisfied with the vulnerabilities of it. It didn't solve the root of the problem, thinking I
need women.
No man actually
needs a woman. A man may want women or a particular woman, but
need he does not. I severed the link between women and happiness, it's two independent aspects in my existence. Whether I'm in a relationship, spinning plates or do none of it, my happiness, confidence and self-esteem remain largely unaffected. Women do not bring happiness, I know this will sound cliche but it's true, happiness comes from within. I don't
need a source, I am the source. This to me is freedom.
Again, not saying your way is wrong. It's great that it's working out for you, I'm just saying what if it stops working out?
