Everytime a man disappoints me it makes me want to become a zoo

For sure! Plenty of successful fulfilled single people. But having an animal as your SO, doesn’t check all those boxes. If you’re happy being single so be it all the power to you! But marriage to an animal is a one sided affair. It’s not the same. Nothing wrong with it if that’s what you want, don’t get me wrong.


Thanks for saying this portion. Not to say anyone can't go it alone, I'm sure, but I see what a lot of people write and I get a sense of lots of magical thinking around this. I think the userbase skews young, from what I can tell, so I'm sure there's heavy romanticism at play. I'm not even saying there's an objective right or wrong choice, it's just with every possible combo there are inherent plusses and minuses like with everything else, so it's best to acknowledge them to be able to balance best. I'm really trying to figure out a way to structure my shit where I can still get the deep intellectual connection of a person but the physicality of an animal with some overlap between that I'm still unsure of. Shit ain't easy and it's sometimes frustrating to read people that have simplified the considerations into cartoonish nonsense.
 
If you used to rely on dating apps, I'm not surprised by your frustration. Most (Not all) men on online platforms are indeed only looking for casual sex whereas most (Not all) women are just looking for external validation so BOTH men and women are to blame.

I believe the same shallowness and impatience takes place at gyms and bars (and on the street). Try to meet men who share your interests through events, hobbies, associations, work projects etc. so you will have more genuine interactions. Your age also makes a difference; Many people don't want to settle down in their 20s. You will most likely have better luck once you and people around you are more mature.

This is how I met my wife, after thinking (KNOWING) I wanted to be alone forever. It was the most natural, awesome progression possible and I think our relationship feels incredibly genuine because of it. She's easily my best friend.
 
Im 24F currently single, am pretty attractive, but the men that get attracted to me just want a no-strings attached relationship. They only want to hookup and not bother with getting to know me. Chat with a guy, seems like it's going well, then he ghosts me or can't commit and it's supperrrrrr frustrating. Dating apps make me depressed too so I avoid them.

I value having connection and if I end up not being able to find a committed partner then my backup plan is to get a male dog as lover. Never done zoo before but the current dating scene is pushing my thoughts into doing more.
And this is exactly why I became a zoo exclusive after my divorce!
 
I'm happy for you. It feels like the modern youth has forgotten how people used to meet others before the internet existed.
Because they’ve never been alive when the internet didn’t exist lol even millennials grew up with internet and usegroups

Don't give up.

As a millennial I feel like I was born at the perfect time as far as the Internet is concerned. I have a good blend of memory of life before the internet, then got to see what it changed. I have some sense of what was gained and what was lost.

I weep for generations after mine.

Same. I’m right on that border. I do look back at the previous generation with some envy. I definitely weep for the loss of so many things I feel are important. Cursive. Talking. No phones. Quality time with people. Checks!

They say love finds you when you least expect it! Glad to know that you found your one! Is she into zoo too??

Yep, you just described a time where you HAD to have social skills to survive even if it was minimal social skills. No hiding away in your phone or having an anxiety attack if anyone came up to you to say hello.
 
Because you aren't having success with finding the right human partner and giving up and just saying "fuck it, I'll just have a relationship with an animal instead" is quite the leap. Unless you have zoo feelings for some time I'd say this is a huge mistake. I mean anything can happen and getting a dog to be a faithful companion is 100% a great idea if you have the time, means, and resources to care for it. If it turns into something else and you form a sexual relationship that you both enjoy, all the better. I just wouldn't count on it as your Plan B in terms of trying to find a fulfilling relationship if you never really had those feelings before about animals.

Congratulations. You are the victim of and maybe through no fault of your own a product of what modern feminism has created.

For generations now feminists have been telling young women that they don't need men and telling men the same thing. For some diluted reason most young women these days see themselves as the prize in relationships. I'm not saying that this is your way of thinking, but it is a very pervasive way of thinking that has influenced a huge number of young women.

It works for some but doesn't work for everyone the same as having a K9 sex partner works for some but not for all. Having an animal even as just a pet is a huge responsibility. Having one as a sexual partner will probably satisfy your sexual needs but it ends there.

A dog will never buy you lunch or send you flowers or take you to dinner, dancing, or a movie.

I'm sure that like most young women these days you have standards of what type of man you're looking for and that's fine but I'm also sure that like most young women you have a list of guys that are on your "friend zone" list.

Look on that list and what you're looking for might be there.
