On: Ask HN: Do relationships improve or reduce your creativity/productivity?

I'm glad to see that you've resorted to personal attacks. Perhaps it's because you secretly know that you're doing something wrong, and I'm striking a nerve.

If it matters, I actually have had a fairly satisfying love life. However, I've never saw fit to fill my single spells with the heartless and self-serving debasement of women. Not that my personal life is any of your business, but I thought you should know.

Your behavior (if it's anything like what you espouse online) is digging you into a deep hole. Enjoy being unable to find a worthwhile partner for the long term, and dying alone.

Groan. Your stupid off-topic comments about this are really messing up my /newcomments page. Has anyone made a HN killfile greasemonkey type thing for kooks like you?

I do have one bit of advice... You could drive your camaro from Long Island down to Alabama, and hang out in the parking lot of the high schools where they are having a "purity ball." There you may find the women you have been dreaming of.

It wasn't my intention for this topic to spread from the original topic to this.

I'm surprised that there is such hatred for a not-out-of-the-ordinary viewpoint.

bullshit. this is exactly what you wanted to happen. a soapbox for your insecurity.

rather than hatred for your viewpoint, maybe people think you suck because you're making posts about penis size on "hacker news."

No. I wanted to see an honest discussion about handling relationships in a way that improves, rather than diminishes, one's productivity.

The conversation didn't start out that way. However, I felt like a lot of people didn't "get" why large volumes of casual sex are bad, so I got explicit in my description of the harmful effects.

You mean like posting about how, if they've had sex with a number of casual partners, their vaginas are "stretched out"? (Like you wrote above?)

I bet that feels debasing to a lot of women.
