There is nothing wrong with sleeping around; those who condemn it just have a hard time getting any. Every being acts for his own good.

I have no desire to commit myself to anything other than my studies. The only thing three things that intrigue me in this world are liquor, sex, and problem-solving. In fact, I don't have any interest in people in general, unless they are related to my line of work or have something helpful to provide me. Since I was a teenage boy, I've condemned myself for this self-centered attitude but now I have given up and have come to be at peace with my own, true, nihilistic mindset. To me, any sort of ideals that cannot be rationalized or explained by way of formula are completely worthless, such as family, tradition, culture, love, suppression of desires, etc. My future plans do not include getting married or having children, for I am perfectly satisfied with this life of short-lived relationships (and pretty successful, too). Anyone who is not inclined to commit him or herself possesses the right to openly lead his own hedonistic lifestyle. When I'm not sleeping, I am doing one of my three hobbies I mentioned above. Those who believe that there are meanings behind lofty ideals ingrained in their contemptible minds as children are the truly foolish, ignorant ones who sometimes I envy but mostly I despise.

Condemning one's beliefs is the same as condemning the notion of sleeping around.

i deeefinitly agreee.
if you are okay with it, then why does it matter?

not everyone is open to long-term relationships...i have commitment issues, so i'd rather opt out of a real commitment and just have the short term affairs.

i am extreeemely hedonistic, doing what pleases me and my own self-interests. Why should i not be happy just because other people think its disgusting or immoral?

It's like you said, they just can't get any !
ahhaa.

Societal constraints. It seems that societal perceptions of those that sleep around and drink much prevent others from taking the same route that you pursue. While I agree that there shouldn't be anything wrong with the way that you live your life, for others, they are held to a different moral and social standard. Some feel that it a moral imperative requires them to not have multiple partners. Others feel that drinking is a sin in itself and should be done in moderation, if at all. Still, most believe that the path to success and to a positive future is devoid of the first two things that you've mentioned and it is really at their discretion that they choose to accept this norm of social behavior.

While you may not care what others think of you, most live lives in this sort of mediocrity of being tied down to what should be done and what should not be done. This is why when someone is unique, different, and against all sorts of tradition, people are easy to judge and easy to stone before considering an argument.

However, for you to say that someone is not open minded and unable to break the bonds of tradition is somewhat skewed. It is really one's own moral temperature that is called into question. While your question is provocative and intriguing, the answer is clear: every person lives their life the way they choose, but the way most see it is defined by what society has deemed proper and necessary to achieve a "successful" lifestyle.

Bravo on a well-written topic.

Long story short: We all are influenced by those in our lives, you can live your life happy and if you wish to sleep around then do so. But don't expect others to always agree with you. Whats wrong to many is that it leads to many consequences that they do not wish to deal with. Is there anything else you wish to pull out of this thread?

Btw, I used to believe in a life of just proofs and examples, but then I learned that just some things currently just cannot be proven. You say that something that cannot be proven is meaningless but you can't even prove that you truly exist or if you're just a figment.

I guess I'd have to half agree with it.

And where does study lead you? To a scientific world where precision has no absolute no precise meaning or figure. Just an infinite? I've found that my studies lead me to the many different subjects such as philosophy and morals. Of course humans are selfish but like anything that wishes to survive it bands as one to benefit itself by benefiting others as a means of gaining what they wish for. If it really does make you happy to sleep around, then be my guest but society condemns it because of the consequences and that this society wishes for stability. All that instability does is destroy.

Not everything in our life can be explained by science or formulas. You can't prove that the order of operations are true. You can't prove that infinity doesn't end. These are things that humans create for themselves. Obviously you haven't created any ideas holding culture, love, family, etc.

But aren't you just another one of those children's? Ingrained with the idea that sleeping around is fine? We're all influenced by our society. But hey, if it makes you happy lead the life you choose.

lolz...

i used to think like you
just party sleep around get drunk...

but then i fell in love...
and it just changes everything

the person you fall in love with....
you want them to be happy....
you want them to love you....
and you do everything you can for them...
it's a rollercoaster of emotions...
hate, love, sadness, happiness
but it makes you realise whats really important in life

theres nothing with the path you've chosen....(i dont see how your freeing your soul though)
i cant see where you get comfort from...
knowing that you'r life will centre about finding women who dont give a crap about you cept your Richard
you could be dead the next day and they wouldnt know
that when your sick in hospital....noones going to come and visit you
i guess we simply dont ...understand

love and family and well caring...i dont believe its just social ideals ...
i believe its partly instinct too

but just as you may despise me and all the others who love, and live for love ....with our ideas of life
i dont despise you....i just pity you

long rant = 0 =

Um. I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Whether you're against it or for it, it's your own opinion. It has nothing to do with if you can 'get any' or not. It's a personal choice if people don't like sleeping around. If you do so, that's fine, it's your choice.

However, since you asked for an opinion I'll give you mine's.
To be up front with you, I have no respect for guys like that. I have no respect for girls who allow guys to do that with them just for thrills.
Once you meet a real woman who's not gonna let you 'get some' (then you'll see it's not a matter of being able to or not, it's a matter of personal and moral standards set for themselves) and you actually fall for her, then I think you'll understand.


But hey, that's if sleeping around makes you happy, go for it.

I think that's a-okay to sleep around as long as both parties are willing and aware that it is purely lust that is bringing them together ( no pun intended)


But no way will I ever date someone who sleeps around.
