Frankly, if you can't have a conversation with your family/wife/girlfriend about things which don't involve the the primary concerns of the them, you have bigger problems that your lack of outputs is going to solve.
Maybe it's time to have "big boy" talk with the wife? Explain that you feel intellectually stifled, suggest an alternative. |

The third choice is a fucked up mix of you having these clandestine "affairs" with people, online, who stimulate you, intellectually, and your wife being "ok" with you finding fulfilment elsewhere. It honestly sounds to me like you picked the wrong woman and are now trying to fill her deficiencies with the rest of the world. That's fucked up. |

So recently I've been looking for a rather anonymous person to chat with. I think text on my phone would be the ultimate goal. I'll explain. I'm married, have kids, as such I really have no one to truly talk with. If you think about it, there is in no way to be genuine when you are in person. There are rules, telling someone you work with that you had a fight with your wife last night is sort of TMI. If you start talking to a stranger or fellow student (I usually feel more comfortable talking to women) they assume you might be hitting on them. I've tried some online chat rooms to see if I could find a good conversationalist, and they are mostly filled with pedophiles. Online services seem scammy or specifically geared towards dating. My wife and I talk certainly, however she has no real interest in politics, guns, etc. and we normally have bills or the kids as the main topic. Anyone else ever think that an anonymous person would be a great texting buddy? Do you like model trains and crab meat? |

Usually when I reach that point with a wife, I get a divorce.
With the current, and third iteration of Ms. 45-Seventy, we usually talk about guns, hot girls, steak & eggs, cats, and hot girls (hey, we really like hot girls).... That and we both like to watch Fox News, Top Shot, Smokey & the Bandit and shit tons of lesbian porn. All in all, it works. |

Buzzen chat. Used to be MSN chat but they stopped service and the chatters took over and made their own site. Check General and the Espressobar. Theyre fine for regular discussion without everyone openly trying to get laid.

Are you looking for a friend or looking for a friend with female parts?
Get off the computer and make some real life friends. Sounds like you don't have any. Join a fraternal organization, get involved at the local range/shooting club, start flying R/C choppers/planes, play video games online and make nerd friends, go to meet-ups in your area for things that interest you, take a class (I took a pottery class last year) etc. |

OP, people have had your lament since the dawn of time. Blabbing about yourself to others, whoever they may be, is no solution. Have you tried reading novels? You need to get out of your own thoughts and invested in someone else's. Jonathan Franzen just had a really interesting piece in the New Yorker about the writer Edith Wharton: essentially, he explained how such an unappealing person as Wharton could still write such gripping tales. For instance:
One of the great perplexities of fiction -and the quality that makes the novel the quintessentially liberal art form- is that we experience sympathy so readily for characters we wouldn't like in real life. Becky Sharp may be a soulless social climber, Tom Ripley may be a sociopath, the Jackal may want to assassinate the French President, Mickey Sabbath may be a disgustingly self-involved old goat, and Raskolnikov may want to get away with murder, but I find myself rooting for each of them.

Most of my "friends" are busy people, "Hey friend/wife I just got an A on my test at school today!, and I have some time here on lunch to chat" "ahh yeah great good for you, umm kinda busy at work... "
and again I will reiterate, which is easily seen here, people judge. Due to this fact, you simply cannot say whatever you want to in normal social situations. An "anonymous" person somewhat helps with this "problem" . Case in point, again is here on Arfcom. A lot of people might call me an asshole or tell me to divorce my wife and it doesn't matter as I don't know all of you. In fact the reactions by many of you is exactly why anonymity is what I feel is essential. It's somehow not socially accepted to talk to a woman about anything "personal" thoughts etc without people telling me I've fucked my marriage or something. It's a social convention. It's not the truth. Somehow ONE person is supposed to fill EVERY role in your life? Honestly I think THAT is setting oneself up for failure. For the comments regarding getting away from the computer, that is really the whole point of text/email. I'm busy too and my phone comes with me. |
