I took it as more like "be single and think for your man-self" rather than anything with using/pimping women and/or prostitution, but he did say alot of things.

For the record - nothing wrong with being a happy bachelor - not everyone needs a woman in their life or a "soul mate" to live happily. I do believe that much is true. You shouldn't have to be ashamed of that and cave to societal pressures; just don't be a dick about it.

You're right, there is nothing wrong with being a happy bachelor. Lots of men are happy bachelors and lots are happily married. To grow your wealth to attract women so you can use them (if not for sex, then what?) won't necessarily make a bachelor happy though.

The chain of posts by the op indicates that he thinks women are using men for wealth and babies. He in turn wants to use them for sex. It's a dangerous mentality. To think that either gender can or should be used is atrocious.

If he's a true crusader of this he should be willing to look his mother in the eye and explain to her that she's a money grubbing ho, and basically a sex organ for hire, use and disposal.

If he can do that he's committed to the cause.

Plus I'd love to see that conversation.

I just became a dad 8 days ago, best thing to ever happen to me and the bond with my wife has grown even stronger since. Even though I had ALOT of fun in my bachelor days, I wouldn't trade my life now for anything.

You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On the way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday

I can't tell you what you're feeling inside
I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you

Good lord, he did say "use them." Thoughts and prayers for his soul.

That's because you'll collectively sleep only 2.8 hours a night for the next year or so Congrats!

To the OP: there's a lot to be said for maturing as a person (and for some, as a husband/wife/parent). What you know (or think you know) now may bear little resemblance to what you know 10 or even 5 years from now. So to say you have life figured out now (and that you need to warn everyone else because they're apparently doing it wrong) is pretty short sighted -- it suggests to me you haven't come to this realization yet. Just my $0.02.

Don't worry, there's weirdos over 40 who are married too. Many of them.

I thought I'd take a second to thank everyone for their sentiments.

Now I have to get back to celebrating the day by building my USS Enterprise in a bottle and then I have to clean myself up, and head off to my hot yoga class in reaaallllly loose sweat pants.

Marriage, wealth and sex are not mutually exclusive options. You can grow your wealth while being married. My wife and I are both much wealthier together than we would be if we were both single. Before you jump to conclusions, I'm not saying that adding up the sum of our net assets is obviously bigger than my singular net assets. We were able to buy a detached home in Vancouver on the west side before we turned 35. Since the value of land and houses in Vancouver continues to rise much faster than condos, our wealth will increase quicker this way. If I bought a condo on my own, at half the price of our house, I would be much further behind because of the future value of my property. By combining our money we are able to negotiate better interest rates. When compounded over time, this leads to even more wealth. I don't need to use my wife. We are each attracted to each other, and we continue to improve as people. By working together the sum is greater than the parts. I guarantee this approach works much better than trying to achieve the same on your own.

Neither one of us wants kids, so we aren't having any. If for whatever reason, we get divorced, we would split the assets evenly. My 50% of the net assets would be a greater total than if I had been single and living on my own, as per my above explanation. I really hope we don't end up divorced, and it's an unlikely occurrence, but using your logic, I'd still be ahead.

My wife makes more than I do. In no way am I embarrassed by this. I make an excellent living, and if she can continue to earn more than I do, that is awesome. I hope she makes more than me for the rest of my life. We don't rely on each other for money. We don't use each other; we work together.

I don't care if you are happy with your life or not. It has zero effect on how I go about my business, but you are clearly wrong on your point of view. I'm not trying to change your point of view, nor do I care if you achieve a great deal of wealth or not. I just want you to know that your view of treating women as something to use is disgusting. At first I thought this was an Option84/Cluelessboy troll job. I'm not convinced it isn't, but there are some crazed delusional people in the world, so it might not be.
