Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise?

Sounds like you value alone time and independence but also want some sex - even just casual sex. Honestly, I don’t see a problem with that on the surface; just because the norm is committed, heterosexual, monogamous, cisgender, same-race relationships doesn’t mean everyone has to follow that, so long as your boundaries (and theirs) are clear and agreed upon with anyone you get involved with. You may have a hard time finding someone looking for something similar, but that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong - just different.

The one thing I’d watch for is making sure you don’t see women as a source of sex and that’s it. Not saying you would, but what you describe COULD be a starting point for that kind of mentality, which is not a good place to be.
