My best friend (in his 40s) said long ago that as long as he has 2 good dogs and 2 decent college girls needing extra money, he will never need to date again. Far better to feel loved and appreciated, than to suffer under the bitter vindictive entitled perma-victims who look only for ways to distribute pain and regret, because they're enraged at someone else, or are just taught to hate by modern culture.

Far cheaper, more peaceful, and more satisfying than the alternative. Plus, college girls never age, and dogs never give anything but joy and are happy to grow old together with you.

I must admit, I'm one more bad date away from giving this solution a shot. 2014 has been a vicious and unconscionable year in my dating life.

It’s a cop-out, where doqs and qirls always make me-me-me feel qood. It’s a man wantinq everythinq and everyone in his life to serve him, rather than him ever thinkinq about truly lovinq another person.

Lovelessness is what qot us to this point in the first place. The solution is NOT more lovelessness/selfishness.
