| Hi guys, my name is Alex. Im 24, and I live in Toronto, Canada.
I have a nagging dilemma which has been bothering me for quite some time, but before I delve into it, I would like to set the stage quickly. (I believe this to be important)
I believe I am a very valuable individual. I consider myself to be:
- Better looking than most
- Smart
- Confident
- Outgoing (even outspoken)
- More mature, and affluent than others my age
I study at the top university in the country, manage a super nightclub with HUNDREDS of employees, and have recently invested in real estate.
Before I sound too arrogant (too late), here is my issue.
I am currently in a four year relationship with a woman I love. She is the only girl I have EVER had sex with. We have been the envy of many, and it has been made clear to us various times by many people. She is very trustworthy, loyal, and loving. She also allows me to do whatever, whenever I want because I demand it. She even once told me if I cheated on her she would be okay with it. (Have never, and will never do it, I respect her too much) She has grown to be very attached to me, and I can sense it.
Despite this, for some reason, I have always found myself looking for something more. I have the supposed "dream relationship", but for some reason I am not happy. I am constantly tempted by other women, and when I ward them off, I immediately feel like I am missing out.
As I grow older, I notice the women are more mature, and desirable to talk to (girls in high school are extremely immature). I now LOVE flirting, and talking to women. Talking to women, and creating stimulating conversation is very enjoyable for me. I realize that this fuels the fire, because escalation cues are constantly given by other women. I feel frustrated that I cannot do anything more than just talk to them.
I work with, and am the boss of at least 150 smoking hot 10s. These girls make it tough. Working in nightclubs have conditioned them to be experts in seduction.... and they exercise that on me constantly. I realize that these women have little moral values, and would do anything for money. This gives me a very cynical impression on women in my age group.
My school is huge, and bustling with hot, young, naive (awesome) young women who are seemingly tired on the immature little boys in their age group.
In my opinion, the main reason I have stayed with my girlfriend so long is because she is very trustworthy, and she does her best to satisfy my every need. I have grown to love her, but can I really be so sure? I believe my fundamental problem is that I have not experienced other women enough..... or at all! I feel trapped into staying in my relationship because we are "perfect", and it is the "right thing to do". I am also cynical about other women.
Here are my questions....
- What should I do?
- Why do I feel this way? Is it greed? Arrogance?
- I realize some would kill, pillage, and destroy for our relationship, so why am I not happy? Lack of challenge?
- I know breaking up with my girlfriend would be devastating for her, as I have tried to do it before, but have decided to go back to her. Am I staying with her out of guilt? Loyalty? Insecurity? Hmmmmm.
- Am I just calibrating my expectations of women based on my successes? Why is my bar so high? Why am I constantly looking for "better"?
I appreciate, and thank anyone who took the time to read this, and any advice, or input would be VERY helpful, as I have been thinking this way for about a year now.
Best,
Alex
