Or he's looking for payback, to punish perceived slights.

I agree with you/disagree with you about sex workers and masturbation not fulfilling relationship needs.

Here's the thing. If men recognize that it's no substitute for a deep, I timate, and meaningful relationship, why don't they ever value relationships in a comparble anount to that realization? Why don't they invest in those skills? Why don't the willingly do the work required to make the sustainable long term?

Let's not get lost in the #NotAlllMen weeds. You know what I'm talking about. Why does it take losing relatuonships to value properly them in the first place?

What we always hear from men is that sex doesn't equal love or a relationship make. I agree, but that's at odds with looking down your noses at sex workers and masturbation, don't you think? If sex is separate, then it's separate. Not just when you men want it to be for your own convenience and benefit. And women have suffered a lot of abuse being on the receiving end of this mantra and ideology. Now that youte getring it reflectes back to you, suddenly you men are singing a different tune. I refer you back to men having to lose something to see it's value in the first place.

Okay, so if you men think yourselves so superior, and women so toxic as to make your lives a living hell, and sex is separate from relationships anyway .... why don't you take care of your sex needs with sex workers and masturbation and have deep meaningful bromances amongst yourselves?

Now you've eliminated the burs in your saddle (women), fulfilled your sex needs without all the drama of pursuing women who don't want you either, and now you have meaningful relationships with people who actually want to be in them with you.

Seems like a win win to me.

Why not set aside the constant attempts at domination and control? You'll live longer and happier lives?
