Do you have a girlfriend?

No, but there are several women I sleep with occasionally. Do you think having a girlfriend would help alleviate the problem?

If you do like I did--stumble across a woman with an IQ 50% higher than mine--then yes. And if the two of you are reasonably compatible, then you should consider marrying her. Otherwise, there's a good chance that a girlfriend would not alleviate the problem. At any rate, if you're interested in talking to a couple who has similar feelings, you can contact me at gmail.

Find people worth being friends with and not those unsatisfying "disposable" friends who annoy you so much. I would say the same about finding a girlfriend, but maybe your fuck buddies don't annoy you as much.
