I can't connect to other people on a deeper level, so I try to fill that void in various ways. Op's a guy who WAS married and is apparently very "skillful at communication".

Somebody born in Switzerland is even more lucky. Maybe I'll take a boat there and just never leave?

Cantankerous old man trying to coast off his age in internet arguments. Wonder how you ended up on a site for lonely people.....

So they were "good to you", but the relationship still didn't work out in the end. I'd call that a failure. It's weird to me that you wouldn't even consider those to be relationships, like having a boyfriend is so trivial "it doesn't count". There's no such thing as "just a girlfriend" in my head.

I think you're selling dogs and pigs a little short lol. Besides that, you may have misinterpreted me a little. I'd also like to have conversations and do things with another person. My point was that sure, you don't JUST want a warm body, but it would be nice, right? If there was an option...

@TheSkaFish You wrote something just this Wednesday that fits perfectly into what I was saying. I'm still mystified by how you disagree with me.

Somebody's personality is who they are in their own head and when they're by themself. I don't believe this changes much over the course of a person's life. You can't change your personality, but you can pretend to have one you really don't. Even going outside and doing small chit chat is...

Did you have relationships before your first marriage?

There's been a lot of talk lately and in the past of lonely people who are or were in marriages. Even after you've climbed the hundred foot high wall(if you manage to), what's on the other side is likely to not be pleasant. Most relationships either fail or become empty husks more harmful than none.

I don't know know what your point is about dogs. Yes their loyalty is based on some kind of social factor, but it's relatively straight forward and doesn't involve human mind games and societal norms. That's also not my ideal, but it is preferable to what's currently available by a large margin.

There's already people that have sex with animals in spite of that. If the appearance is there, 'realness' doesn't matter. Dogs are loyal and straight forward. You don't have to "prove" yourself to them in conversation. They don't care how form fitting your clothes are or how many friends you...

I'll take your word for it(and assume it's not a social status thing), but I genuinely can't understand the sentiment.

You have to? Sounds like an obligation.

It's because they're biologically programmed to. I think if guys could choose between human women, and dogs or pigs that look and feel exactly like human women, many would pick the latter. It's like if the only food available was sardines, and you asked somebody who doesn't like sardines "why...

OP update. I did really badly last semester because of overwhelming apathy. Thankfully, my GPA wont be affected because of my uni's covid policy. I've been taking a summer class for a few weeks now and I'm keeping up with it so far. Emotionally, I feel empty and totally depraved. I go to sleep...
