Who Needs A Man?

Pets arent surrogate humans. The comparison is kind of perverse. But dont listen to me Id rather have a man as my pet 🙊

Carissimi. I had a wife who treated me so badly, I was hospitalized.
Now I have many women who just want to use me to fill their need for love and friendship. They start off leading me to believe we can have more, but then realize a good friend is rarer than a lover. So they go get a lover and come cry on my shoulder when they have problems. It hurts me when they do it again and again. Who am I? dirt? So like you, I have stopped looking and am living my life "alone." I am grateful for whatever comes my way. But I no longer feel entitled to anything, nor do I want to. I work for all I have. I do it honestly too.
So it can be done as you suggest.

Hmmmmm .... my dog loved to play "fetch the ball" but he'd hide the ball from me and only brought it out when "he" wanted to play fetch. Once he had played enough, I throw it and he'd fetch, but then go hide it someplace and go do whatever he thought more interesting. A few days later he'd be at my feet with the ball, swinging tail and all. I think it was him playing fetch with me.

Who needs a woman when you have a dog or cat after my divorce it was plenty company

Outside of a dog, a book can be your best friend... Inside a dog, it's just too dark to read, I'm afraid.

whatever gets you where you need to be.

I get you, feel same way.
