What's the point?

I'm a huge proponent of relationships, yet I don't "feel" it for myself. 

That thought hangs over me constantly. I realized some time ago that I discovered the wizard behind the curtain. My experiences have shown me things that dishearten me. My conversations with women have opened my eyes. It's hard to be an idealist when my exploits have tarnished my core beliefs.

Why do women cheat?

Different reasons than men mostly. Sure there are similar reasons, but from what I have experienced, witnessed and participated has peeled away another layer of the female mystique.

There's nothing wrong with the men these women cheat on. It's usually something conjured up in their minds. One girl swore to me she was single and no longer seeing her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was unambitious and spoiled. Had everything handed to him. He was boring. Fortunately for me I don't take anything women say as gospel. I read between the lines. Highly subjective creatures women. 

Usually a woman cannot explain why they do it. I can. They are cowards. Men cheat for completely different reasons. Women use it as a method to be prepared to break up, or cause a break up or other insidious reasons. They don't do it because they are always neglected or a man cannot take care of them. Sure there are men that prey on women who are experiencing challenging times in their relationships. But I look deeper. 

It's simpler when we each get what we want

Occurs to me that the best interactions, I use that in place of relationships, are simplest when each participant knows, and gets, what they want. I have had a multitude of these. I've had the more societally accepted relationships as well. 

As I walk through many cities alone and observe the various cultures, we are more similar than not. Couples. Everyone's a couple. All at various points in their relationship cycle. I sometimes feel as if I have become too aware. My awareness leads me to simplicity.
