Thanks for editing the first part. I have some more thoughts on what you wrote back, and as you know by now I come off pretty aggressive so don't take it the wrong way.

as for the TV thing, I don't know. If someone told me this in real life to my face I wouldn't be able to hold back my look of "are you serious right now?" You're right in that I "cope" better with it, but it isn't exactly coping when you view it for what it is and that's that. I can procrastinate too, and TV used to be a time sucker, but I do not let my faults beat me and I do not use my faults as a justification as to why I swear something off. I grow, I become mentally stronger so that I can watch it for its entertainment value without it affecting anything else. I look at it as a recreational activity which means you can enjoy it AFTER all is said and done so the procrastination factor is then totally gone. Changing how you view an activity and changing how you see the value of said activity does wonders.

We're at RPW. We know what the typical day to day women is like and we are extremely aware of the go girl motto that is shouted around day to day. We also are aware that men aren't evil. This doesn't mean you should just write every single female off just because you're socially aware of what they are capable of. You never know if that person will be of value to you somehow, you never know if that person is genuinely deep down good, you don't know shit until you have the chance to analyze them over time. I'm not competing against my peers, and that could very well just be me, but I doubt it. My SO isn't interested in any piece of ass besides mine and in all reality everyday is a competition against myself to do better, set a new PR in life. I know who I am, I know what I need and don't need, and I'm actually content as a person which makes this point of being enemies even more miniscule.

We do not plan on having children and I will not regret it nor will my SO. There are other RPW who feel the exact same. That was my only point. It's as if you miss that some individuals/couples have far different life plans then your traditional marriage, child, la de da. Not sure where you live either, but most of the females I graduated HS with are in relationships then on top of that a lot of them already have started their little families. One of the "popular" girls from HS is engaged, they have a 2 y/o son, ad another on the way. I'm 22, so, while I do see a lot of people my age NOT having kids, I also see a lot having them and being wildly happy. I do however suspect that because most of these ladies know one another in some way it probably helped subconsciously.

I never said alcoholism isn't getting out of hand. Before I met my SO I worked in a strip club as a waitress. I've seen more then most people ever want to see. My SO lived a very exclusive lifestyle when he met me which opened up a lot more doors I didn't want to see. I just know that I'm in RPW, I'm not in a sub where I'm educating the masses on the dangers of drinking too much because I'm around like-minded individuals who already know drinking in excess is not only unattractive, but not mature or productive at all. I also only hang out in my athletic community now, which has the same thoughts on drinking, but after a big session there's times we grab a bottle of nice wine or some craft beers and just take it easy.

I don't think you saw where I was coming from. We're on RPW, which is a sister sub of RP. What you wrote came off as if we didn't know about the minor horrors of modern day society and that we have no idea how to handle ourselves for each situation.
