This is precisely the point on which I'd beg to differ.T Vaunswa said:There is more to life than just fucking random bitches all day.
If you will, recall a person you know who grew up in dire poverty, but then made it big in business. Got that picture in your mind? Maybe a distant relative, an uncle perhaps... Typically, such people are still extremely prudent and careful with money, even though they don't really need to be. That's because the habit formed in their youth lasts a lifetime. You might say that such a person is miserly. He'd probably say that he knows the value of money, through bitter experience.
If you didn't have the luxury of "fucking random bitches all day" in your youth (I certainly didn't, and I suspect there are others like me on this forum too), then believe it or not, the idea retains much of its appeal. I can't actually imagine what it would be like to "fuck random bitches all day", I don't even have a clue how I'd go about doing that, but it sure sounds good to me. Of course there is more to life, but that doesn't necessarily mean any of those other things are better.
I think this is exactly why you often find tiresome men in movies, in books, and in real life (though fortunately not on this forum, thank heavens!) who insist on preaching to other men: "Grow up", "Settle down", "Be faithful", "Don't cheat", "Don't sleep with loose women", "Don't sleep with other men's women", etc. etc. ad nauseam.
They have had their fill of women early in life, don't particularly care for the taste of them any more and are so utterly lacking in empathy that they cannot even imagine, for example, how unsatisfying it must be to have had only a handful of girlfriends, or a dozen or so lovers, before finding themselves in a relationship (or worse) where the partner has made an assumption of exclusivity.
It's like a rich person lecturing the poor: "My good man, money isn't everything, you know!" It may be true, and well-intentioned, but it's lacking in tact, and it's hardly likely to be sympathetically received!
