A good friend of mine has been having a bit of a dry spell. I think that it has been affecting his morale a great deal, which isn’t making things any easier for him in the dating world. I think it’s about time he met an exotic, fit woman and I’ve been trying to get him to check out some sex dating sites so he can meet someone sooner, rather than later.

I know a lot of people think there is something wrong with sex-dating, but, a note on sex: it can be meaningful even if it isn’t necessarily apart of a long-term relationship. My friend is definitely the relationship-type, which is precisely why I’m not taking him out clubbing and trying to get him to have sordid one-night-stands.

I think that that the whole point of looking to meet someone online is that you can go on the date with confidence because both parties know what they are looking for and what they’re getting into. That way, no one wakes up in the morning with regrets or awkwardness. It can be a good, healthy experience. There is also no one saying it can’t lead into something long-term, or that it has to be devoid of emotion. The idea is just to keep things simple.

The fact is that, for some people, it takes a long time to meet someone with whom you are really compatible, but, even if what you really want is a long term relationship, people still need a bit of affection and intimacy in their lives. Some people also just don’t have the kind of lives that allow for developing a long-term relationship. Perhaps they travel a lot, or are especially dedicated to their careers and it would be unfair to expect another person to put their lives on hold to be with them.

I don’t know why, in this day and age, we think people have to live in conventional, long-term relationships or live like monks. It’s a little unreasonable. I’m not saying we should give up all our ideas of what a good relationship should look like. I’m just saying people would be a lot healthier and happier if they relaxed a little. I know that if my friend got to spend a little time with exotic, fit women, his life would be a little happier, even if it didn’t lead to a long-term relationship.
