[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to also factor in is aging.

What matters to you in your 20's and 30's changes in your 50's and 60's.

I know that you cannot understand how you will change over time...but you will. Or you should (i.e. with life experience, your priorities should mature/evolve).[/quote]

This. OP, consider the fact that in the not too distant future, neither you nor your partner will be physically attractive. Parts will sag and wrinkle. Hair will gray and fall out. Teeth will get weird. You will shrink, and get that old person smell. Joints and members won't work that well. The mental and emotional connection is what will endure.[/quote]

I hate this argument. That's like saying that someone should miss out on what it's like to have a vibrant physical connection (while many other people get to enjoy that) since we're all headed to death's door anyway. In the long run we're all dead, as Keynes said. Sure, but can't one want to have what others experience along the way?[/quote]

I mean, it doesn’t sound like OP has a “vibrant physical connection” with any women ever. Ok yes, a total slob might kill attraction. But after *six months* of dating - that should be getting into the good stuff, specifically because you DO feel more comfortable with each other. Sex happens with clothes off (mostly!). If there was a good physical connection to begin with you should be able to say “baby put on those heels and let me bend you over.” If OP’s boner is being killed because his GF does not wear a full face of makeup on her WFH day, something else is going on. I almost wonder if OP has a problem with intimacy and cannot emotionally/physically connect when his GF becomes more familiar and knows him more deeply than appearances. [/quote]
