lemme tell you anons, a relationship with a girl who looks like the pic in the OP is not to be desired. even if you treat her like a queen, you will bore her. no man is good enough. she will slay you and afterwards you will have no self confidence, and question your right to exist. she will go through a slew of men until all her youth is completely drained out her, and she has become a disgusting old hag at 26 from too much makeup and all the air pollution in LA. her skin will being to look dead and fake. she will take a very emotionally retarded husband, probably about 3 or 4 of them in the course of her life, no one in the situation ever likely to find a genuine semblance of happiness.

your memories of sex with her will only bring you pain and confusion in the years to come

don't desire to possess beauty, either in relationship or sex. seek human connection, anons. human connection. slobbering over photos of women is a mistake. get out in the real world and connect with people, discover your own personal blockages to expression and reception, to connection. connect, connect, meaningfully connect!!!!!

t. Mr. Boring Ass

I've had relationships with really hot women, and some not so *hot* women, but who had good hearts and personalities, cared about meaningful things, and had a good sense of humor. I'd take the latter women any day, and not only would I just *take* them - they're the only women worth any time whatsoever, that are worth considering spending your life with. Trying to carry on a relationship with a conceited insta thot is a total pain in the ass, not worth it at all. Do you want sex with your partner to be about worship of their body? Or do you want it to also include authentic emotional connection? Also, if you care so much about sex, what are you going to do when you start having a lot of it and you start feeling empty as fuck because it doesn't actually make you feel whole or fulfilled?

Including ogling over pictures of women as one of your frequent past times is a fucking mistake. Then when you find a person that is actually worth your time and commitment, and who will return your desire for a real meaningful relationship, but doesn't look like a "10/10" - you will have this nagging feeling that the person isn't enough, isn't right, something's missing. Well, what's fucked up is the fact that you've been looking at women as objects for year after year after year, but now you have a real life woman in front of you, with whom you want to have a meaningful relationship... creates a lot of cognitive dissonance... mutual trust and safety is very important in a relationship...
