I live a low cost lifestyle, and I get to do what I want when I want to do it and I dont have to factor in anyone else in my life but me. I have people I talk to, but I'm completely content reading a book by myself in complete silence with Noone else around.
I'm not denigrating or saying that it's a bad thing to have a girlfriend or wife, however I'm such a unique person with well established views on many things and so I'm at the point now where I'm not settling for anyone. Why should I? So I can get sex? I'm able to please myself much better sexually than anyone else can do, and that's the truth.
I've stopped watching porn and started using my imagination. Once I did that I hardly ever think about sex that I'm lacking.
So, again..I don't think it's in the cards for me at this point. I had a girl that was living with me in my one bedroom and would do anything for me at all..and I lost her. She was my intellectual and also spiritual match. Once you've had that person everyone else becomes kind of a joke because now I know what a good girlfriend is, and the truth is there aren't very many of them out there (from what I've seen) that are willing to be with someone built on unconditional love
No need for a fancy job, no need to have an impressive social life so that she can live through me , no need to do anything except just be me. And that's what true love is, most definitely. Built on zero conditions.

This might be like the 3rd copsypasta you have given us.
Repped.The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

I can relate to what you are saying.
Being content and satisfied with what you got right now. So many misc struggle learnig that. including myself earlier in life.
Very simple to achieve in theory. But in a way it is counter intuitive and against our own human instinct to not want more and to suffer because we want to prepare for an uncertain future.
Thats a human instint to prepare but we do not know what is comming next and we live in pain of uncertainty. To look into the past and look at what we have lost and feel sad.
These two above are instintcs that kept us alive during evolution. But they can be a burden in life.
We look at the past to learn from our mistakes. ie better relationships. We look into the future to plan ahead. ie avoid a drought.
Monks, Yoga, meditation techniques, mentoring etc try to get us to a better state of mind where we are more satisfied with the now. Monks have observed this issues that men have in life. They develop their own techniques and we are lucky we have access to it via internet.
I am not saying this is a better life in absotule terms. But it is a much better now.
Back to OP you might be grilled over no GF no money no fashion no latest tech. But this life is better that 99% of people 200 years ago.
I am happy for you OP. It took me time to understand this and I hope this help other misc too.

Yes for sure. There's so much unnecessary suffering that takes place in order to keep up with society and to play along in their game.
To have kids or not have kids- to be married or not be married- there's suffering in BOTH options.
I'm not saying that I'm closed to the possibility of meeting someone down the road...however, I have learned to be content with myself. And I feel like that's a superpower because I'm not codependent on someone else's emotions and someone else isn't codependent on mine540 pound deadlift

Exactly
Before some some misc says my post is a long explanation of cope. There is a difference.
I dated good looking women in the past. I am not married and no GF now. But I learned and know what to do. I can go into a relationship with someone and I know she is getting close to the age where woman want to be married. I can go that way but I know I am making the mistake that I have seen in a lot of people. They tell me I am lucky I am single. So dont go that way.
So I see it is a possibility that I might or might not marry someone in life. I have learnt to accept both possible outcomes and be content not knowing what is to come out of that. Also I understand and accept the implications of both possible outcomes. I am not going to be the first person in the world who does not marry. If life goes that way.
So I live a life of no fuarks given when it comes to women. I enjoy life and still open to the possibility of a relationship.
OP something that I genuinely enjoy is taking a van and a bicycle together. Go to random places and sleep in the van. The bicycle allows you to go all over the place and see things you never see if you drive. The combination is magic! Sharing some goodness with other misc. I see from your avi you live about 50 kms from some nice lakes. Not being a misc detective but I look at maps a see where to go. I am in Australia East coast.

Thats not how it works. Living in the van overcomplicates things.
Suppose you go back home from work you are a little tired. So naaa go to sleep and end up doing nothing over the weekend.
Instead. Pick up bicycle go somewhere you know and sleep. In the morning you are in a different world. You can still drive somewhere else or Ride anywhere walk anywhere or walk as far as you feel like. You get tired again have a nap in the van and recharge. Rinse and repeat for 2 days or 2 weeks. Day or Night depending of the place. Cost: about $50. Winter: I dont know how cold it gets there but you drive the other way or stay home and misc.

I was married twice and never had an interest in being married.
Just works out that way and before you know it you are stuck. Thank god they went away."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda
