Damn. HardwoodJoe and Seawub are bringing some realness to the forefront! I can relate to both tales. That said, there are some advantages to mongering. For one thing, it equalizes the "game." Most men are married and are encouraged to do so because "it's the right thing to do' or 'we're not getting any younger, so..." When long term relation-shits or marriages break up the guys are usually despondent and a total wreck. They haven't had pu*sy in ages, their self-esteem is in the toilet and they have little to no money after legal fees(hers and yours), alimony, Ch*ld support, and a host of other life altering setbacks. I think the best medicine is to monger. That way a man avoids the commitments and expectations that got him in trouble in the first place. No shrinks, no Oprah, no Dr. Phil books or videos can help you like one hour of rolling in the hay with a gorgeous lady that suits your taste in the gulch or elsewhere.
Not long after, you realize the scam, the hoax that passes for relation-shits with women today. You soon come to the sensible realization: They have options, while you as a man have terminal responsibilities. Not for me, not anymore. You see, mongering is ultimately about freedom. The freedom to go anywhere in the world and enjoy the pleasure(s) that women provide. I pay for it but I'll gladly continue knowing that every man I know does too! The difference is that what I pay is sooo much cheaper and the price is indicated up front.
I think the guys who appreciate this game the most are the dudes who have been through the agony and the pain of it all. They know the score, the price and most importantly, they know that "love" is a figment of determined imagination.
Malepig: your son ain't ready for this game. He's young and naive. Allow him to be so. Why corrupt his nuptials/mind with "this thing" of ours? If he believes love lasts a lifetime

, let him believe that without the mongered influence of his jaded old man.
That's my .02 for what it's worth.
Otherwise, do your thing. I ain't mad.
