Where to begin. There’s no upside? I have a constant companion who I love sharing my life with.
Just because you clearly have had bad experiences with women doesn’t mean all of us have.
I haven’t had bad experience. I have had experience. Nice attempt to try and shame me out of my opinion. Not going to work. And companionship can clearly be had outside of a contract with the state. So no, that is not an upside. You have been lied to if you believe it is.
