This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

i think the way you're describing the process as "screwing around, forming and cutting off attachments" really shows that you think of it in a very black and white sort of way. one can have casual / fwb sex with their friends, and still have a friend relationship with that person. one can even have one-off sex with an acquaintance or stranger, and even if you never meet again, it doesn't really make it a "cut off" relationship; if you met again, it would be pleasant, circumstances just may not arrange it
just because it's a more emotionally involved process for you or some people you've encountered, doesn't make it a universal truth
Sure, you CAN do these things. That doesn't mean it's not diminishing your capacity to be emotionally invested in your relationships.
We can spend all day blowharding and traversing all the layers of subconscious processes abstracted into social constructs, how we are able to rationalize anything if we want to, and so on. But I think you can only get so far with that, when all I'm trying to describe is something pretty much everyone already understands intuitively.
"You can't turn a hoe into a housewife"
Works with gender/role flipped too, obviously.
i genuinely do not "intuitively understand" this idea. there's nothing contradictory about being a hoe and a housewife
can you like, explain this? i really don't understand how having multiple sexual relationships, specifically, diminishes one's ability to have emotionally fulfilling relationships. if anything, i might be inclined to think they would have more emotionally fulfilling relationships 💀
