Do you think your job as a divorce lawyer has in some large way led to this?


I can't speak for him, but in my line I have read enough divorces to lower my faith in human nature to zero.

If you take sex completely out of the
picture, because you know from
experience that it won't matter for very
long, marriage looks completely
different. Finding someone you can
live in close proximity to day after
day is a daunting proposition.

Carry Grant was married 4 times. He
said the problem was the dailiness
of it. You wake up with them, have
breakfast with them, dinner with them,
spend the evening together and then
do it all again the next day.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Some people are so social they have to be around someone all the time. I much prefer living alone. I think most people are supposed to not be married.

I think that is just the truth revealing itself. Humans are tribal animals with better communication skills.

Maybe only slightly - being a divorce lawyer has convinced me to never get married

Not really caring about sex is more about (a) not wanting kids (which, even under the best conditions, can happen via accident or "accidentally on purpose"), (b) liking my personal space and (c) the act of sex is overrated (IMHO)

People I see too obsessed with sex almost always have a ton of personal problems. Child support a near given. Some end up turning gay. Others have several divorces or else a pile of problem relationships. They do stupid stuff. Listening to them is the most boring conversation ever.

Sexual obsession is more about validating
a person who has low self esteem. Blame
the god religions, Xtionity and Islam. They
have been obsessed with sex for millennia.
You don't see these problems in the
Eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism.
They have no god that judges you for your
thoughts about a natural act.

Are you going to expand on the billions of Chinese. They're obviously putting something somewhere.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I can buy that, and it would explain a lot. I think a bad relationship with parents kicks in as well. Knew a guy in college, obsessed with hooking up. And he hooked up with the ugliest women around. Total quantity over quality. I have to figure he by now has had half or more of his paycheck going to child support as those kinds can only dodge the bullet for so long. His relationship with his mother was totally awful. Though that could drive low self-esteem.

Remember the conquest aspect of sex when
you were really young? Some guys get
hooked on that feeling like it's a drug, and
they need a fix on a regular basis.

I knew a guy that slept with a lot of women,
most of them ugly. When you go for quantity,
they're the only volunteers. The good ones
have too many opportunities every day to
ever give you a second look. Even Ashton
Kutcher has said you can be good looking
and famous, and getting the good ones is
always an uphill climb.
