Your Toughest Opponent
Self-development: Most Men don’t ever realize who is their toughest opponent.
Today I came across a tweet from Masculine Theory talking about monogamous relationships. And this is what it reads:
And this is what I answered.
The reason why I believe that you need to look within yourself is that a monogamous relationship is not about sex, more than it is about companionship. In today’s day and age, most people can’t have the foresight to look within themselves and make a rational decision even if their lives depended on it! So, they let themselves go and that’s when they mess up. Then, you are wasting your time, and you are wasting someone else’s time.
It’s much better, to be honest, even if she’s a “catch!” And she doesn’t mind, you hit it and quit it! Be careful with taking her as a “booty call” because sex can be turned into a desire. “Desire becomes surrender and surrender becomes power!” –Jarred Leto’s Joker! Suicide Squad.

Once you get used to a certain level of comfort it will be very difficult to get detached from it. You experience this FEAR OF LOSS feeling, pretty much like when you take a candy from a toddler. That’s exactly what happens when you have become conditioned to a certain person’s presence. Sex is good, she treats you the right way, you realized you’ve been alone for a long period of time and you forgot everything about her personality.
How she behaves, if she controlling, if she likes to undermine people. You create your self this movie about this person in your head. And you are not seeing her pitfalls, her mannerism, her behaviors as a person. Listen I don’t care how much you say you will stay alone, if you play with fire sooner or later you will get burned. I’m “guestimating” that only 2.5% of the male population will be single for the rest of their lives (according with Bella DePaulo Ph.D. who says, “As of 2016, only a small number of adults in the U.S. who were 65 and older had been single all their lives – just a little over 5%.” )!
“As of 2016, only a small number of adults in the U.S. who were 65 and older had been single all their lives – just a little over 5%.”
So, for that reason, I say that you need to be extremely honest with yourself as to what you want to do with your life. Lifelong single people are at a much long greater risk for financial insecurity in later life than married people; says Dr. DePaulo—about 22%, live below the poverty line—due to single income, disadvantages of the economies of scale, and social security benefits.
“Single males tend to have fewer socioeconomic resources and poorer health,” according to Dr. DePaulo. However, the worst group according to her is the lifelong single women. 25.3% of the women will be lifelong single women!

There’s nothing wrong with being single. On the contrary, you have many advantages. However, these stats are for you to understand what is at stake and what I meant when I said that “YOU NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY OF LIFE FOR YOU!”
