I finally hit a point in life where all I want is a drama free life, peace and quiet and as little human interaction as possible. Scrapped all my social media, quit collecting poker debts, changed my phone number and a bunch of other stuff and just focus on the gym, being mentally and physically the best I can and avoid stress. Its VERY rewarding so far, and when I need a laugh I just come on here and dont take it seriously anymore. Sure wasted a lot of years giving a shit what others said to/about me, what a fuking waste of time that was. Cant regret it though, just have to be better moving forward and stick to it.
anyways, gayer than and all that jazz

What in particular has motivated you to do this?

What in particular has motivated you to do this?
i think age, other than being very low income i have a pretty good life, no debt, no payments, no wife no kids etc etc. Tons of freedom to do what I want when I want. Realizing how utterly stupid some of the shit I was doing and how it made me miserable.

The Real Reason Men Stop Craving Sex
heres a stunning fact no one would probably admit but I dont care
I havent had sex ins 13 years. Absolutely no desire. Test levels are fine as I still spring wood and all that, but absolutely cant be bothered to put 10 seconds into giving attention to a woman. The level of freedom it has allowed me became addicting, no one to answer to, no one at my door or calling me or telling me shit I have no interest in. For me it was the smartest decision I ever made.
If I wanted to get laid, which I dont, Id just get an escort cause zero drama.

I sincerely admire your sincerity man.

Happy for you.
thanks studI sincerely admire your sincerity man.
thanks I appreciate that

I often get the same feeling. But otoh I know I require some human contact. I've know a bunch of self-proclaimed misanthropes but they aren't completely serious. Most get sick and die early if they are isolated, for example it's an epidemic apparently in South Korea. I have a friend, a previous training partner, who says as long as he has his computer he will never be lonely or want for any real human interaction but I don't think it's healthy...

That's where I'm at brother. I don't care what people think of me and don't crave the approval of others.
I don’t care about approval. Arnold does. He’s spent his whole life chasing validation and worrying about legacy. But here’s the truth: everybody dies, and once you’re gone, their opinions die with them.

Yes, more people are becoming like this — living their lives through their computers or phones. A year or two after the iPhone launched in 2007, I suggested to my wife that we upgrade. She wasn’t keen on the idea, but I went ahead anyway. For the first couple of weeks, she complained that it was awful and said she wanted her old phone back. Fast forward to today, and we’re always on the latest iPhones — she’s been glued to every model since. If we’re watching a movie, she’ll be scrolling Facebook, reading websites, or browsing while the show plays. And it’s not just her — I see a lot of other women doing the same thing.

It depends upon if you are a true loner or not and I am so
When I was married and involved with that beautiful woman it was the worst 2.5-3 years of my life

What if no one not only doesn't approve of you but indeed no one cares about anything about you? That's not a good feeling :D

That doesn’t really bother me. Think about it: 5,000 years ago someone might have been deeply loved by their entire tribe — adored, cared for, seen as important. And now? No one even remembers that tribe existed, let alone the person. The memory of them is gone.
But the atoms that made up their body are still here, recycled into everything around us. Approval and recognition don’t last — they vanish with time. What remains is the fact that we existed at all, that our matter continues on in other forms.
So whether people approve of me or not feels small compared to that bigger picture.

Reminds me of one of the great Percy Bysshe Shelley's works:
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Guess my IQ isn't as high as I thought it was 😂

I ran it through AI to explain it to a 5-year old:
Once there was a man who told a story about a very old king named Ozymandias. This king thought he was super important and wanted everyone to remember how great he was. He even had a giant statue made of himself, with big legs and a scary face, to show how powerful he was.
But a long time later, the statue was broken. Only the legs and part of the face were left, lying in the sand. The fancy words on it said, “I’m Ozymandias, King of Kings! Look at my great works and be amazed!”
The funny part is… there were no works left. Everything he built was gone. The desert was empty and quiet, and the statue was all that remained.
So the poem is saying: people might think they’re really important, but time keeps going, and even the biggest, strongest things can disappear.

I think this is a lot like seeking validation — lol! I remember my stepfather loved keeping his cars clean and looking like new. If a car started rattling, he’d have the shop track down the problem and fix it. But years later, I asked him about that, and he said he doesn’t really care that much about the car’s cleanliness anymore. Sure, he liked it clean, but a few water spots here and there didn’t bother him — it was “good enough.” What mattered more was that the car ran well and that he could enjoy driving it without stress.
The point is, our goals, like our need for approval, can change over time. What once felt crucial may eventually feel unimportant or “good enough.” Just like we stop needing others’ validation, the things we once chased for happiness can also fade in significance as we grow.

It sure doesn't take 20 minutes of droning on to say why men go off sex. ::)
