    I know I feel stifled in relationships

    A study by Dieter Kleiber said that there was a sort of romantic john who was seeking "the ideal of love in a fee-for-service setting."

    This makes sense then. Maybe I ought to begin looking at this model.

    Being with a woman 24/7/365 is annoying as fuck-- I don't know how people do it.

    So when guys say they pay a prostitute to go away, I can see how they mean "to go away for a while and not constantly be in my face", at least until the next time the man feels like engaging in some relationship.

    I would love to find someone who has her own place, her own life, but also wants an ongoing relationship and does not want to turn it into a stifling crush of constantly being in each others' faces.
