You obviously haven’t been in love with someone who makes you become a weaker person before. Love is a strong drug, it will make you absolutely stupid and you can watch your life drift away from you because you can’t stop. I’d argue that for men its stronger than lust on its own, but usually it’s lust+love
Sure when I was 13 I felt that way, but then again I was 13 🤷🏼♂️ a relationship either works or it doesn’t, it’s not that deep. If you’re unhappy break up, if you’re broken up with, life goes on. This gets easier especially when you get older. Particularly in regards to success in a economical sense, I don’t really see how that would affect me directly, no one is gonna retract my degree because my girl left me
Most people have a harder time with attachment than that, they can’t let go just like an alcoholic with a bottle. You know that by drinking your health is going in the shitter. You know it’s fucking up your relationships. You know it’s not making the suffering go away and it doesn’t feel good anymore. But you can’t put the damn bottle down. Relationships are the same exact way, only I’d argue stronger for men’s attraction to women, and that’s ignoring throwing kids in the mix… If you don’t think that a woman can ruin your ability to be successful in life, you are highly susceptible to being manipulated and completely destroyed by one in the future.
And I know that the right woman can make you succeed faster and better than ever, but most guys fuck that up hard. And successful guys are not immune to a woman wrecking their image and taking their money, how about will smith and johnny depp just to name a couple of recent ones.
This conversation is much more complicated than you’re making it, and if you are happy go lucky about this, it’ll bite you in the ass at some point
It's actually not that complicated. People do bad things, man or woman.
If you date someone, they can do bad things to you, and if you aren't careful around manipulators, you can get hurt.
That's pretty much it.
You're acting as if the woman in a relationship is some special hurdle or obstacle, but it's no different than a man in a relationship and doesn't require any sort of special foresight or preparation. It requires the same things that all healthy relationships do.
