    @ likelife

    Look, I don't know what you dealt with in the past but I truly believe you have real issues. I will try to explain where I am coming from as best I can.

    Right now, all I care about are:

    My Career/Family/Friends

    Social Life/Fitness

    My Sex Life.

    All I want from women right now is the opportunity to continue to meet some attractive, conversational and compatible women and have a good time. One that involves but is not necessarily limited to sex.

    I have been single a long time - mainly by choice - and I have had a great deal of adventures and cannot complain.

    I am not some loser living in my mother's basement.

    I am a very upwardly mobile and athletic young man living in the greatest city in the world. (My handle should give you a hint)

    But I decided a long time ago - I want certain things. Safe Sex and companionship with no strings is one of those things.

    I am not a "nice guy".

    I am a reformed nerd who learned very quickly that I would have to reinvent myself to get what I want. I do not blame women for anything, but maybe my tone comes off wrong. I just don't understand women.

    It never ceases to amaze - when doing plain vanilla dating -how much bullshit is involved. However, when I involve in less vanilla activities - ie. Swinging/Casual Encounters - etc... I meet women who have as much of a "lust" for life as I do.

    Where do they hide normally ?

    That is the only thing frustrating. As a Straight Man, you will almost always pursue.... As such you will need to learn to play the game.

    I don't want to talk LikeLife, I want to get drunk, I want to screw, I want to party - And I want chicks who want the same and want to have a good time.

    Why is that such a bad thing ?
