> Boo hoo I am going to be a 40 year old virgin!

And? I'm a 29yr old who is still a kissless virgin. Just try to get some good friends or something. Improve your career and climb up that ladder, then sex or relationships won't even matter anymore. Get off of 4chan.

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.

Some people find sex less important than others and prefer to focus their energy on other aspects of their lives.

No debate there but I don't think you can extend that truth into suggesting that everyone could just as easily be fulfilled if they just "focus their energy on other aspects of their lives".

Yeah, that's a classic logical fallacy. What's true for one isn't likely true for most, and what's true for most isn't necessarily true for one.

i call that phenomenon "over-generalization". you observe yourself and assume that everybody feels the same way, which, empirically, is simply not the case.
