>my parents showed no affection
they showed affection, they just didn't smother me enough for me to become a carebear that doesn't realize the downsides of koombayah
>i've always viewed relationships as not even close to worth it
i used to think they were worth it just like everyone else when they hear the fabled tfw no gf, then i had a gf, then i had another gf, then i had online gf's and then i realized it's all same shit in different wrappings, it ain't easy being a man in a world where fee fees trump logic
>I may finally understand why so many men explicitly say they prefer being single but stay in relationships anyway
because they enjoy sex? that's literally the only thing modern women are good for if you go by stereotypes, but that's just my experience based confirmation bias talking, are there good women there? you bet but the good ones aren't single for long
