Hello everyone I have noticed there is a growing trend of people (both men and women alike) who are frustrated with the disappointing outcomes of dating and relationships. Many have complained about horrible misadventures of finding a partner whether it be for a relationship or casual sex. What are your thoughts on the choice of opting out of either one of these 3 are all of the above (relationships, dating, or sex)?

I opted out 32 years ago. As far as I was concerned women were just more trouble than they're worth and things have gotten infinitely worse since then.

I stopped dating blk women in 09 bcuz I'm tired of the bullshit. I KNOW IT'S NOT ALL OF THEM. I NEVER SAID IT WAS but I'm tired of tolerating the ones who ARE trying go find that ONE who is. Now....
Everytime that subject comes up and I express my sentiment I'm ATTACKED, BASHED, accused of HATING MYSELF, MY MOTHER, EVERY and ALL BLACK WOMEN AND THE ENTIRE BLACK RACE.
Thats the consequence I and other brothers suffer for opting out in THAT situation.

Wwell I'm considering opting out of all 3 altogether. The dating scene has been rather disappointing and I just may join the crowd of people who choose to just live a happily single after kind of life. I have seen frustration on both sides for men and women.

Some people have no choice, since the rest of the world has opted out of having anything to do with them. The rest of us have no such problem. For me to opt out would be cruel and unusual punishment for every woman on Earth. So, it would-or at least should-be illegal. They'd probably start a class action suit against me, or something, if I did opt out. I could never be so mean, though. I have a duty to woman kind. I will never opt out. I limit myself to one relationship at a time, but if one ends, I will begin another. If you choose not to, that is your business. Just don't whine about it.

No whining here just simply sharing thoughts and apparently from the other posts...others feel just about the same. I'm actually looking forward to a happy single life without the drama.

Well I do keep an open mind to dating or even marraige with someone from another culture who haven't been americanized.
See in this culture right and wrong changes from one day to the next. You get with a man one day bcuz he's a good provider, disciplinarian and father to your kids and kids you have together. Then the law changes.....
ALL OF A SUDDEN......
He's a child abuser, he's a "no good" husband, he's "old fashion", he don't rezpect you now, his kids should be taken away from him, you don't need him anymore, you can be mommy and daddy, you need an ex parte', he's dangerous now, he can only have supervised visitation, take the house nd car thats he's paying, etc.
All bcuz a few laws changed? Thats what they do IN THIS CULTURE so how can you expect anytbing to last?

If I marry an asian, pacific islander or a mid eastern cultural woman..... whatever it is when we get together is how its gonna be throw out the relationship.
She's NOT gonna flip on me bcuz the law changes. She won't allow courts and cops to come into our home and tell us how to run our fam or raise our kids.
They were taught the REAL meaning of "Stan by Your Man" and know how to support him instead of breaking him down.

Life is drama. You can-to some degree-select the type, and extent, of drama you experience, but you can never totally avoid drama. Even the dead have drama...because life exists beyond the change we call death. There is an afterlife, and drama exists in it.

Looking at it from that perspective your right. But I hope your not suggesting that bcuz drama comes with life and no one can EVER be TOTALLY 100% free of it...... that we should just put up with and/or accept anybody's bullshit?
You're not suggesting that are you?

Wrong...my life is drama free and i wont put up with someone bringing theirs into my life either...you have three choices in how to deal with things...leave a situation...change it or accept it...beyond that it becomes self-created drama and some people perpetually live there....and i do have a choice in that matter...i dont have to accept it...

Yes I do agree with healing which is a process. However, even as I heal...I'm not going to be going through the hoops I have done in the past to search for love. It's always been said that Mr. Right will not show up on your front door steps, I don't expect that special someone to fall into my lap but it is frightful what's out there.

Yes I agree life in general involves some drama, but I don't have to subject myself to more drama than necessary. I'm also aware of the drama that goes on after death as well and much of it has to do with how this life is lived.

Looking at it from that perspective your right. But I hope your not suggesting that bcuz drama comes with life and no one can EVER be TOTALLY 100% free of it...... that we should just put up with and/or accept anybody's bullshit?
You're not suggesting that are you?
No, I'm not. That is why I said that you can-to some extent-choose your drama. You should do so. Remain faithful to your spouse, to avoid the drama of: fights, retaliations, divorces, financial ruin caused by the divorce, etc. Make simple drama by never knowing what you will have for dinner, until you choose it at the last minute on the spur of the moment. Invest in precious gems, rather than gold...so you can have the drama of wondering how far UP your investment will rise, instead of the drama of wondering how far DOWN it will fall next.

YOU are wrong. You are just ignoring the drama that exists in your life, and pretending that it isn't there. With some minor drama you can do that. With less minor drama you can't do it for very long. You can avoid creating needless drama in situations you control, but you can't prevent others from creating drama for you in situations you don't control.
If car manufacturers decide to start making only cars which get 15 miles per gallon, your gasoline costs are going to become dramatically high, and all you can do is pay them, or stop driving a gasoline powered car. Ditto if gasoline producers stop producing at today's prices, and so cause an artificial shortage, and so raise the price of gasoline to $8.00 per gallon. You can't do anything about that, but pay it, or stop driving a gasoline powered car. Believe me, when it takes $160.00, or more, to fill your gas tank, you will be in for a lot of drama.
Some drama you can avoid...by not dating someone who has school aged children...not marrying a violent felon, etc. Other drama is unavoidable. Some drama is big, and some is small. There is no such thing as no drama.

seriously, i think it is unrealistic.
it is why i am looking for women who are willing to be girls and friends with me in modern times.
in any case, why do women bother to hide their true selves in modern times, if they want us to be honest with them?
from one perspective and in that alternative, simply asking for a serious relationship should be a burden on the one asking for it, just like asking someone to lunch may imply buying their meal for them.

Hmm well that's an interesting take on relationships, but I don't want to get involved in a one-sided situation. It should be where both people want to mutually be committed to each other. At least, that's how I see it.

What are your thoughts on the choice of opting out of either one of these 3 are all of the above (relationships, dating, or sex)?
For me, I would think that they would consider it as a time for introspection, what t hey are looking for and quite possibly what are the characteristics in finding that ideal mate. That being said, when under this, you are removing an outlet that is letting out an inner emotion that you possibly would want to share with other potential candidates of mates but since that individual hasn't come across them, all of that emotion become bottled up. If taking a wrong direction instead of using time away from relationships and the like for betterment of character, one can take the route of being bitter towards relationships and end up actually hating the concept of it altogether. I have seen this scenario personally played out with a friend. So my thing is the direction that you take in opting out of one, for better or worse.....gamer

You started out god but got confusing at the end. lol The drama we're tLming about is NOT the same the drama that describes a movie lime "A Few Good Men"
Even though thats a good drama there's NOTHING good about the drama we're speaking of. Thats why we avoid it. So when you mentioned the drama of an investment "maturing" I'm like WHAT?
Your creating some kind of positive drama ppl can have between them. No! HELL NO! There will never be any such thing. The text its used in when referring to relations is ALWAYS negative and NEVER positive.

That would sound like a good idea except these days, you can't date someone without them wanting sex in return. You can't just simply enjoy a person's company, its all about sex. Very empty indeed. So, dating can't even be considered. It would be nice to spend time with someone without them pressuring you for stuff like that (and I'm referring to the first several dates).

Exactly there's nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin as a single person. In fact, that should be the requirement before pairing up with someone.

Quite honestly I think everyone should take some time for themselves, away from dating, relationships, and sex. It's a great way to build on the person you want to become and figure out what you really want.
I have too much time to myself, and it is to the point that I am soo comfortable.... It would take an amazing person for me to give my personal time up..

That's what I always believed, but nowadays they want to pressure you for that on the first date I have dated different personalities of men that I have met in different ways and its always the same. Very disappointing. I'm also going to look into what has me stuck in the paper doll syndrome. There must be something going on with me to attract that same situation. For now, I'm opting out to figure that out and keep my sanity

Yes exactly it really would take an amazing person to do that and I'm not jumping through ridiculous hoops to find them either. If it's in the cards, it will happen naturally.

I'd rather be single then be with the wrong person. Too many people settle due to fear of being alone. As far as sex, that's friends benefits are for. I'm too young to not get any.

Yes it's no good to be involved in toxic relationships and settle. Better to be single than deal with that. As for FWBs...I'm not down with those but I don't knock the ones who are. To each their own.

Stop looking for some perfect "one" no one is going to be a perfect match for you. We are individuals. I think most people are so afraid of repeating past mistakes and carrying past relationships into new one,that no one gets a fair shake. Can't punish the new for what the old did. If you are broken,then you should take time off. You also have to accept blame and stop being the "victim" the only consistency in all your relationships is YOU. Maybe you're the problem. Fix you,love you,get healthy,then you might be able to have a healthy relationship. Date and have fun. Date different people and quit expecting every date to be a long term potential. Most aren't. That's a lot of pressure. Just because someone isn't good at a first date,doesn't mean they won't loosen up. Some of you people just need to relax.

I already wrote in an earlier post what you already said, I of course will be working on myself constructively meanwhile. However, I doubt that's going to change the outcome of what I've experienced. I'm not looking for a perfect person and I always thought dating was supposed to be fun. When it comes to pressure in dating...women tend to put pressure for an instant relationship and men tend to put pressure for instant sex. On that note, I agree with you...no pressure either way would lighten things up greatly.

Gotta do whats right for you and only you will know the answer.
For me ive opted out of dating and relationships for going on 3 years and life has been better on every level since I accepted myself and put a end to the insanity of a happily ever ever with someone else.
Sex on the other hand I wont be giving up- I still have 30 years of good d*ck to be helping some of these lovely ladies out. Before getn on the ED wagon and not needing anyone for anything other then companionship from time to time.

Yes there seems to be a lot of guys out there that feel the way you do. That's a big reason why I'm opting out.

That's a good point and it's what I have been doing, but some folks just have a one track mind unfortunately.
