I don't think that's necessarily true.. For me personally, I'm not
really into drinking alcoholic beverages (I might have something with alcohol maybe once or twice in a year);

I'm dieting, and was somewhat relieved to find out how easy it was to
stop drinking. It's been a month or so, had a glass of champagne at my
son's graduation. Not really felt an urge.

I bought a six pack of beer this week, found one that's 20 calories, no
alcohol and 2.5 grams of carbs. Tastes like if Bubly had a beer flavor.

There is a very thin line between the sugar daddy/sugar baby set up
and prostitution. I would not object to them being treated as such.

is there a thin line? this is escorting. looks like the same thing

Probably wouldn't be considered prostition in a court of law, but that would just be a technical matter. For all intents and purposes, we know these women are selling their bodies for sex. Its just that there is a relationship component thinly painted on top.

Yeah, I used to use my web space at my ISP. I didn't use it for
sharing updates about myself though.. After I first started using the internet in 1995, I started learning how to make web pages and would
use my ISP web space to store my work and share that. I made some
basic web pages with misc. content I saw elsewhere online. I'd also sometimes use my web space to store files I wanted to share with other people.

I miss program such as Microsoft Frontpage. It was one of the favorite apps
I used to make websites in the late 90s/early 00s.

Livejournal likely was the reason why I stopped making home made webpages.

If you reach deep into serious studies about romantic relationships you find the trend is for romantic relationships to be tremendously unsatisfactory. There are a number of potential reasons they speculate
as probable causes but what seems to be hard facts is people is not getting their expectations fulfilled and people does not want to put effort into the deal.

I was reading articles that saying in the united kingdom virginity is increasing in their population. 1 in 8 people in the United Kingdom in their mid 20s never had sex.

Maybe people are scared of rejection.

I used some of those, though those WYSIWYG web designers always seemed to create much more complicated and bloated HTML than you'd make if you wrote the HTML directly. Also, the bloat would mean the web pages would take longer to load.

Livejournal likely was the reason why I stopped making home made webpages.

How so?

I worked for the company that bought Allaire Homesite, then killed it
off. I loved that program and kept an older version running for years
after its demise.

webpages.

Oh, LJ was it's own rabbit hole of CSS, I remember tweaking custom page templates for hours!

I am not scared of rejection, and most people in my social circle is not scared of rejection, yet we don't chase women actively because we have other priorities.

Women are huge resource sinks and require comittment most people is not willing to take... come to think of it, that is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with.

From a rational point of view I cannot justify chasing a woman when I can be making money or expanding my harvesting area instead. And for people who is tight on resources it is not a matter of justification but of hard impossibility - they cannot pay the bidding price.

Work hard enough and you'll attrace members of the opposite sex with
your large, expansive tracts of land! No chasing required!

Land is not the chick magnet it used to be.

Anyway, attracting is one thing and keeping another. The problem lies right on the fact that women want you to keep them entertained, take them to places, and no matter what they tell you, they will get bored of cost-efficient activities quite fast and ditch you for somebody who will spend more resources in them. For no other reason that if your idea of fun is participating in scythe contests you must be a borying bloke with no personallity, of course.

Sounds like you're chasing the wrong women... I know a couple of
historical re-enactors who might be interested in a scythe contest...

I am just not chasing.

Last one didn't work out, I think she was jealeous because her horse liked me more than he liked her. \o/
