    Wtf no your 9-5 (or in your case im guessing much longer) isn’t a replacement for a relationship.

    If you’re somehow able to do nothing but work and self improvement all day and be satisfied with just that in your life then good for you but don’t assume everyone can just adapt to that mindset.

    Humans are not evolved to find intimacy so irrelevant.

      The idea that intimacy is required to live a fulfilling life is the lie. There are famous examples of people who were life long virgins. A few of them were in unconsummated marriages.

        I would argue the reverse is also true. There were famous people with intimate relationships that have very unfulfilling lives.
