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.

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

I currently like a girl, and she doesn't like me back... :sad:
My plan to become an SDK is here.

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.

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

Comrade Fwiffo, I do a shot in your honor.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

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 :roll:

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

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


I do not see the contradiction. :geek:
A good system naturally covers all corner cases without further effort.

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 ;)
