Life In 19x19 :: Relationships - better off without 'em?

Was planning on settling in with a nice stack of tsumego books tonight. Looks like it'll be beer instead. Cheers!

Not really, she probably just didn't want you to spend the night with your boss's wife.

I envy those that can live happily without feeling like they need love in their life!

As for love, you have two kids, don't they love you? :-?

As for the more physical aspects, well, maybe it's due time for you to start considering castration...

Haha, I have no lack of love in my life, and I don't take any of it for granted - but I also find myself wanting it and wish it wasn't on my list of things I wanted. It would be nice to be able to be happy without the feeling that love is a requirement in there.

My two extra children were not fathered by me, and at some stage later on I'm sure we'll be wanting another together. I suspect a suggestion of castration may go down very badly

Two more possible go-students ;-)

Ladies, feel free to reverse genders here.

This is one less problem for you! I'm actually happy for your sake, and so should you be.

IIRC, ~10% of the population is gay, and quite a lot of others bisexual. In the UK, ~12% of Go players are female.

What I'm saying here is: there may well be as many men on this forum who should be asked this question about men, rather than women, as there are women.

I hate political correctness and I couldn't care less what people do in their bedrooms, kitchen tables or whatever. In my mind the majority of humanity are perverts of one kind or another. I saw the question in the thread as pertaining to problems with cross gender relations. (If anyone wishes to make it in include other types of interpersonal relations they are of course free to do so.) There are so many minorities one is supposed to tiptoe around and I just won't do it. I respect (some) individuals, not groups.

People are people, not stereotypes.

Insert gender as appropriate.

Women -- better off without -- what? Edit: You changed the subject on me.

Don't ask. Really ... don't ask. I could write a satirical tragedy about such issues and sell the thing.

I currently like a girl, and she doesn't like me back...

My life would be so much easier without women ... but so much more boring, too. Don't get me wrong, boring can be very good ... but I need some spice in my life sometimes.

I'm madly in love with my wife, and after four years of marriage, if I had it to do all over again I wouldn't change a thing.

Although I'm happily involved since a couple of years, I think the important thing about love is to never stop searching for it. So I voted for "better to have loved and lost" ^^ In most cases it needs time to find one's soulmate.

Yesterday my boss threw a big party because of his retirement. Ofc all colleagues, some of his neighbours etc. were invited. His wife is a really kind person but this evening she got me so drunk... Well after several hours I was totally wasted and called my girlfriend if she could pick me up. Guess what? Despite the (high) risk that I could vomit into her car she came and picked me up. If this isnt true love :3 Therefore => We need 'em!

Having been married for 7 years and then divorced with two kids, I'm hopefully getting married again when I can save up enough money to hold an event to my current fiancee (with another two kids). Hopefully this one won't turn out to prefer women after all I envy those that can live happily without feeling like they need love in their life!

Anybody want a PS3 or Hello Kitty toothbrush? She's shown no signs that she's going to come to claim them (or return my BtVS DVDs or my DS). I'm gonna give it a few weeks, then it all goes on eBay.

Sorry -- if you're having a rough time at the moment, I don't want to sound as if I'm getting at you. But the assumption that everyone is straight really bugs me. (And before someone tells me I'm "letting my sexuality get in the way of my morality" or something, as I have been told when promoting LGBT rights in the past, as it happens, I'm straight. I'm just generally an equality campaigner.)

That's fair. Anyhow, I wasn't really making assumptions, I was being pithy. But gay gentlemen should feel free to reverse the genders in my original question also, gay ladies should feel free to keep them the same, and bisexuals should feel free to include both.

I respect (some) individuals, not groups. People are people, not stereotypes. I don't know what political correctness is. I saw a question which appeared, on first glance, to be suggesting that either this forum or the Go community might be better off without women. This sort of thing happens occasionally in geeky bits of the 'net. I prepared to get angry, then saw that it was posted by Fwiffo and realised it couldn't possibly be that. Then I looked at the first post, and realised it was a question entirely not about gender, but about relationships. And then I felt irritable about the fact that it was phrased so badly that the content of the thread wasn't obvious from the header. And that while it wasn't excluding me, it was excluding - assuming the non-existence of - some members of the community. When it could just have said "Relationships: are they a waste of time?".
