To the likes of SS, Eric, DC, Stevie, Batman and anybody else offended, I am sorry about those previous comments 
Apologies are always accepted, but a beer for me on your bin next time will always smooth the process
I was never offended and never am when this topic arises and the opposite opinion to mine is aired. We all see things from a different stand-point and have different agendas and likes/dislikes re: seeing a regular girl or mongering.
There are positives and negatives on both sides and it's up to the guy to weigh up his freedom to hunt and boom-boom versus the comfort, laziness and security of having a regular more permanent squeeze. Of course any girl you want to be your 'regular' should be chosen with care, the negative generalisations can be frustrating but it is sound advise in the main.
For me to be alone unless I go out and hunt, guard my valuables, be disappointed etc. has become a little tiresome and I prefer being with someone who I trust not to steel from me, presses my buttons precisely and knows exactly what I like and dislike, plus good daytime company and a guaranteed ride home when I'm pissed is my preferred option.
But I do miss the freedom to monger freely from time to time and relish the occasional opportunity, such as a recent night in Bangkok...
