"Can", well you seem to be really out of touch with reality. Props to you that you wouldn't let a romantic relationship consume your life but most do (both women and men).

It's even worse in the case of men that even if the relationship isn't their primary focus, most let it "warp" their goals, decisions, etc.

My entire point in this article was how a man's state of mind should stay exactly the same - irrespective of the women that enter his life.

Coming to the bonus point, in no way am I objectifying women. Sorry if the article came off like that.

I LOVE and respect women. They're amazing. If it weren't for a woman (my mom), I wouldn't even exist lmao.

When I say bonus, it goes back to the earlier point. Your life as a man with or without women should have meaning, purpose, and direction.

Women don't add meaning to life, they just enhance the existing meaning.

If, as a man, your life has no meaning and you're craving for it in women and sex, then there's something wrong.
