My point is that I'm not worried about winning or losing the lottery. I'm not playing. I'm not missing out, either.
The expectation is that I'm filling a void with casual relationships; and that that void is a single committed romance.
I never had that void to begin with. I sincerely am fulfilled by uncommitted relationships. They aren't casual to me: they are as serious and meaningful to me as monogamous partnership is to my parents.
The most important part to me is empathy. I crave new ideas and perspectives: I get them by empathizing with more people.
The way the previous comment came across to me was as from a cynical incel type rather than a more reasoned MGTOW-adjacent approach, sorry for the misunderstanding.
