Trilemma: Married vs. Single vs. Playboy - Which is best?

[HouseMD]

Love doesn't last. Look up any research on human bonding. You get 2-3 years before it becomes companionship. This leaves me believing in serial monogamy, but Playboy is the closest pick on your survey.

Were I to have children, they would take priority over sex. Marriage is preferable if children are involved.

there is still another option, get married and have the companionship, but then be a playboy on the side. in Asia, this is still pretty much acceptable, if not expected

True that is the ideal situation. However, most women will not like their husbands having an affair. Plus you will not be able to spend much time with mistresses. Time with them will be limited. But if you can pull it off, it's ideal I guess. It also depends on how much you love your wife and whether your relationship is one of deep love or just a convenient business relationship.

Asia is full of special clubs, BJ bars, KTVs and other venues that cater to married men. I think many wives figure their husbands go to such places, but as long as it is all kept secret, they accept it. I think it they find it PREFERABLE, to their man having a mistress, which is another actual relationship. THAT kills marriages more than getting a bj from a KTV or massage chick he will never see again.

Many business events end up in such places and most of the guys there are married. Just don't bring it home and your family life is its own thing. Otherwise the knives come out!
