Too bad you seemed to have missed the entire point of the passage: if your relationships are making you bitter and miserable, there's no sense in blaming the other half of the human race for whatever weaknesses of your own cause you to keep seeking out the same old archetypically shitty situations.
Still, the difference is immaterial. Testosterone & stuff on that Y chromosome drive men to seek women and get into shitty situations. There is nothing voluntary there, most men have 'clingy' need for women.
Bah. If you've always found that the women who are willing to sleep with you are irritating, at odds with your emotional temperament and after your money, why not spare yourself all the headaches and schedule appointments with an escort, maid service and sperm bank? Seriously, doing a cold-eyed cost/benefit analysis might save you some real misery in the long run. That so many people are driven to go through the motions of the very things that bring them the most unhappiness is a real shame. Or else, you could keep always looking for a woman who has a view of things more to your liking. If you're the kind of man who posts here, I can't imagine you'd have much in common with "average people" anyway. So why fall back on citing the flaws of the average woman (which, incidentally, I'm not denying) in this case.
Characterising not-mine relationships as pathologically-dependent and clingy and others as 'drawn to independent' and noble is nonsense.
Who said anything about noble? There are more than enough flavors of psychological pathology to go around--but of the infinite number of problems that can come from dating a woman as strong-willed and unsentimental as you are, being whinily pressured to measure up to an imaginary ideal just isn't one of them.
Evolution is not beyond reproach nor Holy Dogma, and I see no reason why wouldn't a sensible male* bitch about this parasitic setup.
But nobody's forcing you to shell out cash to goldiggers and breeders: find a woman who doesn't buy into either scenario and you're in business. They're certainly out there, just a lot harder to find.
"Fit" and "unfit" for "human companionship" are far to into nacionalsocialist ideology, I'd rather not go there.
It doesn't take a judgment by society at large to realize that some people really are better off alone instead of inflicting their destructive fucked-up personality on others (psychotics, alcoholics, etc). On the other hand, if more people refused to cave in to societal pressures and thought about what they really wanted to do with their lives (instead of blindly falling into the "spouse, family, 9 to 5 job" trap out of conformism and a fear of the unknown) it would be a great thing. ~Faustine. *** The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedoms. - --William O.
