Theoretical question

[Peaks&Valleys]

If you had to spend the rest of your life on a desert island with only one person, and you could pick this person from all of your past and current relationships: girlfriends, guy friends, flings, plates, friends of friends, even someone you just barely know, pretty much anyone you've ever come into contact with.....

What would that person be.....a man or a woman?

 

[Tictac]

A woman.

 

[Stagger Lee]

A young, hot woman. She'd be totally dependent on you. No other guys for her to cheat with, no other females to gang up against you and be lesbians lol. You'd have a bunch of kids to do chores and gather food, and be the king of the island for the rest of your days.

As long as the climate was nice and there was plenty of native food, it sounds like an idea situation lol.

 

[zekko]

Definitely a woman. Like Stagger Lee said, no hypergamy to be concerned about lol.

Why do I think there are certain posters here who would call you a faggot for picking a woman in this situation? Lol.

 

[BeDJ]

Only a man with limited options would consider this question.

 

[Mike32ct]

Your best guy friend.

Pros:

From a survival standpoint, you need someone who has your back.

Cons:

Celibacy because you're straight.

He might EVENTUALLY turn on you, kill you, and eat you lol.

Dear Mike,
"Your best guy friend."....Perhaps you might be interested to read a purportedly true Yarn,"Madmans Island"by Ion Idriess about,the experiences of he and his mate,who were prospectors, accidentally marooned on a Desert Island off the Queensland Coast about 1922...They ended up,as you surmised,trying to kill each other!

I believe that. Sounds like a good read.

I've never had a friend who didn't turn on me at some point during the friendship.

In my mid-20's and during a rash of failures with women, I made a statement to a friend of mine: "If I had to spend the rest of my life on a desert island, I would rather spend it with one of my buddies than with some chick!" Of course he gave me a strange quizzical look then proceeded to back away. But, for some time, I had been striking out and getting screwed over by women, so my only rationalization was that women were good for one thing, sex.....and that's it, fvck em. The other 23 hours and 40 minutes of the day were better spent with someone you could get along with and actually enjoy being with...your buddy.

Now that I'm later on in life, and have learned a few more things.....I understand women more, what makes them tick, how they operate, why they do the things they do, it lets me enjoy being with them more. I can date women who I actually consider my equal, or even above me, without having to wonder what's actually going on, what's she thinking. I can be comfortable, and relaxed and have fun.

You don't hate a puppy for peeing on your floor. That's what puppies do. Just give it a little swat on the butt, it will learn eventually. And while you're at you can smile, it's just a puppy.

I'd pick a volley ball called "Wilson".

I don't know, man. I have one, REALLY great guy friend that I've known for years. We're a LOT alike; have similar interests, mindsets, personalities, experiences, etc. Even through all the BS with fake ex best friends, etc, it's always been the same. We're both very reserved, introverted, ****y, crazy, "soft", etc. Don't think we'd eat each other. Ha Ha. Even though we're 20 hours away, we still contact each other frequently over FB, and do things like play video games., and not gossip like faggots. Lotta laughs and good times, with minimal attacking.

All the girls I knew / dated were immature, insane, hot, FAKE, and retarded. We didn't get along AT ALL, and would end up killing each other.

 

[Warrior74]

A person with survival skills, medical skills and who is a patient teacher. I want to live.

It would be great to have someone there to help build forts and fish, gather food, build fires, throw spears at angry animals getting too close to your surrounding,....tell stories and $hit.

But I've had quite a few long term friends, been roommates with a bunch of them, went out, and worked with them, no matter how good a friends they were....at some point though we always ended up wanting to knock the $hit out of each other. I don't have one long term friend that I haven't gotten into some type of fight with, physical or just exchanging words, where we haven't had some kind of temporary falling out. We still remain friends, but there's always a cooling off period. When you're roommates with someone, it's always the little $hit that gets you, ones always cleaner than the other, someone eats the some of the other person's food. How often does the lawn need to mowed. You have different schedules, so don't play music after this time. You're both trying to make the rules but at the same time as some level of compromising. But eventually it gets to you.

A young, hot woman. She'd be totally dependent on you. No other guys for her to cheat with, no other females to gang up against you and be lesbians lol. You'd have a bunch of kids to do chores and gather food, and be the king of the island for the rest of your days.

Doesn't it

There's not a question of who's in charge, you are. Plus, she'd be there to give you a massage when your sore from hunting all day, COOK the food you gathered. Sex. There'd be no question on the best way to hunt or how long you should keep the fire going. What type of materials would be best to keep your fort from blowing away in the wind. You're the man, so you decide. She's the woman, she can decide on the best way decorate the fort. If you need some help, you can tell her what to do. When you come back from a long day of gathering supplies, she can have the home ready so you can lay down and take a nice nap.

IMO, for the long term, the woman would be a better fit.

This is a good point. I'm territorial, so if there's another guy we're probably going to end up bumping heads. With a woman, your roles don't overlap, so there's going to be less friction. She plays the feminine, you play the masculine. I'm going to be much more relaxed around a woman.

 

[betheman]

would have to be a woman, no feminism sh!t to deal with, roles defined, me leading, life would be good
