You're always in a relationship

You can leave an awful lover, but you're still left with yourself, and if the person in your head is WORSE than the person you left... well then, which relationship is better. Get better with the relationship you have with yourself, gentlemen.

The alone man

A man knows, that there I nothing beyond him. No one to really turn to in the end. He knows the buck stops with him, and women expect him to be ultimately responsible too... Deep down (when all is said and done and all is taken away from him), a man knows he's all alone in this world.

Beaten down by LOSS

I know females love it, but I am getting so tired of CHANGE (for change's sake)… whether it's women, jobs, movies, etc. Starting from ZERO, over and over again can wear a man down.

Why they ruin our favourite movies

They INTENTIONALLY make annoying movies to provoke online discussion, and then zero in on that attention to place advertising and marketing.

I almost didn’t publish this conversation because I thought the audio quality on my end was sub-par. I’m glad I didn’t listen to my perfectionism, because this chat was too good to leave unpublished.
