Wow i thought i was the only one! I’ve definitely noticed attraction’s less intense than it used to be since discovering “the truth.” Not that it’s gone to zero – it hasn’t – but noticeably less than what it used to be. I also thought it was my age – recently turned 36 – but i think TRP is much more likely. Damn!

I agree a lot – my work, traveling & all my other hobbies seem a hell of a lot more rewarding than chasing ass. It’s funny – when i was 10 years younger my two priorities in life were 1) making more $$$ and 2) getting ass. Now it’s more about ensuring i have enough $$$ to not have to work more than another 10-15 years.

Thinking back to my 20s, how much effort & $$$ i put in to chasing women. Damn man! I could’ve been 5 years closer (or more!!!!) to retirement WTF?!?!?!

Sigh. Ah well. In american english we have a saying “I burned my hand on the hot stove once. I’m never going to do it again.” Haha. I learned that f~~~ing lesson! Do you have a similar phrase in your native language? (Think you mentioned once before you’re from Sweden, but don’t recall exactly.)

Haha, yes indeed, we have pretty much the same saying, “bränt barn skyr elden” (burnt child avoids fire), and I couldn’t agree more with you! Worst part is that it’s only one or two I still have mostly good memories of, the vast majority weren’t just a waste of money but also time and effort. I have a colleague who is travelling all over the country because vagina and personally I wouldn’t travel across town for it, and we have had some discussions about which one of us is the crazy one, hehe.

Well yes, I do believe it is TRP indeed. I can of course only speak for myself, but when I see what it is I get and what it costs me (once more, not only in money but more important; in the form of lost peace of mind), it’s not only not worth it but it scares the living daylights out of me, even to the point where I rarely use public drinking establishments.

I also note we have come to the same point in life philosophy regarding work, though I still see myself working in 15 years, but by then I hope to have the opportunity of working only part-time. -That- however is something I think is more about our age, even if family men will not get the same options we’ve got.
