Interesting. So essentially a partner who will manage your social life and have your kids. It was mentioned earlier but yeah that's a pretty "practical" way to look at it. It sounds like it has the potential to become a loveless relationship too if one of her main purposes to you is just managing your social life.

I am okay with that. I don't intend to marry for love, but for children and social stability.

However, having this partner be someone I get along with and am intimate with would make this easier and decrease our likelihood of divorce.

I'd look for someone who wouldn't mind combing my hair slowly and gently. The little affections that women could give to men are one of the things that would make a "romantic" relationship adorable but also pleasing to the soul.

I think I purposely want to pursue a woman who's almost a spinster. Someone who is desperate for a baby but just can't get a man to go for them for reasons. Maybe it is their personality, maybe it is that they're just plain unlucky, ugly, or whatever else. Point being, I find I love the leverage I could possibly wield in that situation. When I felt the power, that was when I felt most alive.

I of course, can't go for a whale, but a lady that isn't in too bad of shape and is otherwise not in any position to make demands from being too old almost, I want to exploit that so bad. Most women unfortunately, have options on how to get pregnant. But there are a few that're imcompetent just enough, to still need a man.

What is where I'd come in. I want to string her along and I'll say- "sure, I could try my hand at getting you pregnant. But in exchange for helping to get what you want- you've gotta try getting me what I want." Its brilliant, if I can figure out how to ensure that I can't be gone after for anything like child support.

I can't believe I'm saying it but... I don't even know anymore. They've been running together as of late.

Might have to figure out who I want to be before I can find someone who fits that.

I have to say that's pretty manipulative, even in my mind. But if that's how you are gonna be, the best you deserve is some ugly spinster.

Disturbed might not be the right word, stunned that someone holds those views and is proud/happy about it.

Is anyone else disturbed by sai's worldviews? Like I seriously read his posts and half the time the song "natural born killers" starts playing in my head and gets progressively louder the further along I read.

The only people I wanna manipulate are the scumfucks I was in school with. I would love to have a couple of the lowest of the low from my highschool licking my boots, but to take advantage of someone who is struggling or who isn't too smart is downright dark in my view. I wanna get a woman who understands me and who I actually care about. I don't wanna just slowly enslave someone to me but that's just the point of view of one of the last decent people alive in utica.

For me, I'd love someone who can be kind to me, and have empathy towards some of my struggles in life, someone who can serve to support me when I feel too anxious about life, someone who shows kindness to others (regardless who they are), someone who loves to learn about cultures and willing to travel a lot, and someone that I could just grow as a person with. I guess a few positive points is if they're into sports or geek culture, or that they love to cook (like myself).

I really hope this is just some shitty troll post and not a serious statement. Seriously, this is some high levels of manipulation. At this rate, I doubt a spinster would want to be with you.

I was of the same mindset, but as often happens- you come around to understand that everything in this world is about leverage.

If you don't have enough of that in your life, people are able to screw you over more or deny you opportunities and various other things. You get tired of it, and want to get into doing that yourself. If you normally don't ever have leverage, you've got to put yourself into situations where you'll have more of an advantage. You have to make your own power plays until you reach the heights you want.

I myself feel the same way, but I've all but given up hope on this fantasy.I've come to realize I'm too different from most of the people in my life. An alien could crash land in my town and feel less like a stranger than I do

It doesn't mean I'm socially isolated.I deal with a lot of people on a regular basis and have a fair sized inner circle. But people don't understand me.I talk about Hp Lovecraft and they think R.L. stein.I talk about America becoming a plutocracy, and all they can say is "we gotta get that money man" (as if being a gangster, killer or drug dealer has a chance of getting these guys anything other than killed). I talk about the rise of empires and they think of fucking cookie. I talk about resource depletion and they think about gasoline smuggling. I talk about having principle and the only principle they have is get ahead by any means, even if it means having no decency or shame. How does someone who still tries to live by a moral code and who tries to always educate himself find understanding in an ignorant, sociopathic and cruel world? How does a person go on? Why do I let myself drink too much on saturdays? Is piglet a boy or a girl,cause if he's a boy, there's a lot of thoughts I gotta erase from my head

for a second I thought you were having a date with a macedonian girl.

My best friend had a macedonian girlfriend once. He once took me along as the awkward third wheel one night on their date to see guardians of the galaxy 2, and when I walked into the theater after tagging along all day in the hot sun with a friend to film a grad party, I was so dark that they couldn't see me.people heard footsteps but couldn't tell where they were coming from
