Would you choose

[Anonymous No.4327958]

Let's say you devote most of your time - like at least 6 hours a day - to art and you really enjoy it, want to do it for life. You'd die with it.

If you had a choice between a relationship with a hot girl (not an artist and couldn't give a shit about your art) or becoming a successful artist, which would you choose? You get along with a girl, she's not a nutcase, her pussy is good, she's "good on paper", but she doesn't like you spending so much time with art.

My babymama is a stellar artist and it was still ABSOLUTE for my art. Money over Bitches.

lol sex is all thats important in life lol

I'd much rather be an Artist.

[Anonymous No.4328008]

It depends really on how easily you can find an alternative gf and how much the girl in question loves you and how well she takes care of your heart in every other way.
Not having access to love (as opposed to sex which can be had with money and masturbation) will distort your view of reality, make the world seem relentlessly hostile and add torturedness to your life.
It can fuck up your art and ability to function well on many levels.
If you are attractive and likeable enough to attract women, the only reason to forego them is if uou can’t stand their presence, they feel like a nuisance, every second away from art hurts, that kind of thing. If that is not genuinely the case, you are probably kidding yourself about where you are as an artist and your balue as a potential romantic/life partner.

What is love though? Why would a girl give that to you? Why do you deserve a girl who takes care of your heart in every other way? How do you find that girl?

If you are an artist where every second away from art hurts, what value do you offer a girl who can go find a guy who has more time (and money) for her?

I have this problem, but as a woman. I spend most of my time, mental space, and energy drawing and writing stories, but I don't share it with people in person. It's not something most people appreciate, unless they're narcissists who like to make it about them only for the identity signalling they can do ("I am dating an ARTIST") when it reality they don't appreciate what dating a devoted artist actually entails - in fact what happens is the guy often ends up resenting my art and trying to pull me away from it. Why the fuck are you dating me if you can't appreciate I am already married to something else (art)?

If I have to choose between a sexless life but with art to paint with my tears versus dealing with annoying guy who at least gives me sex, I rather choose the former and just get a group of guys to fuck on my spare time or something

I am old now.
But I’ve had long periods with and without love, with and without making art/music and with both.
Both is what I have now, but I dint find it till I was 40.
There were stretches where life was unbearable loneliness and alienation and periods where gf’s turned into stalkers because I didnt have time for them due to my creative obsessions and periods of high productivity.
I know enough about myself that I need both.
YMMV.

femanon responding here

I am currently at a place where I need to choose between investing my time in art versus going out to find a mate, but I honestly can't imagine finding a guy who would "put up" with my art, or at least not bulldoze over it like it was another man threatening to steal his chick. Maybe there's a reason why so many good artists (especially women) are single. Male artists because most women want them to go out and get a "real job" and female artists because most men suppress her and try to change her. I feel suppressed when I am dating a guy, I only dated one guy who didn't suppress me (he was an artist too) but that relationship is long gone.

People talk about how "romantic" it is to "date an artist" but they don't actually like what it entails in reality. When I meet people, I don't tell them I am an artist for this reason, but then I end up barely telling other people about myself that way.

How'd you find your woman?

[Anonymous No.4328110]

>>4328097
I found her on Lavalife 10 years ago! Lol.
It the time I was actually in a corporate job which I got because of my prior disaster marriage. She was very supportive of my transition back to art because she is a fucking awesome person - which was my criteria for choosing her as a mate.
Strange as it may seem, you would have the same jealousy problems with guys if you were married to a career in any field.
Its just really fucking hard to find a mate you can really rely on and trust.
The primary difficulty with art, if you arent really “making it” and aren't willing to hold a job, Its finding someone who wont resent your inability to pull your weight. Thats why I gave it up for a job and marriage. It ultimateky ended because she was not an awesome person.
Dating is also kind of a numbers game. I figured i might only REALLY click with 1 in 100 girls I met. i wasnt that far off. I met my current wife, right when I was about to give up dating and start going full retard.
Good luck girl. Also don’t forget about what you actually bring to the table as a mate. Its just as important.

[Anonymous No.4328118]

>>4328110
Oh, not surprising. That's the most natural (best) way to meet people - just doing what you usually do and like.

>Strange as it may seem, you would have the same jealousy problems with guys if you were married to a career in any field.

yeah it's not unheard of, but with art it seems different. With a "career" you're bringing in money, and people respect money. Also, non-artists don't respect the creative fields, they see it as something frivolous. Especially if you're a woman, they think it's a "hobby" and not a serious thing and can't understand why you can't just give it up. Even if you're making decent money.

>Its finding someone who wont resent your inability to pull your weight.

Yeah I think this is the problem a lot of male artists face, because men are expected to provide. Especially if they have kids.

lmao, my ideal woman is one who would just do her thing and come over for sex or to do things we like in common, such as art, games, martial arts training and general /fit/ activities.

I hate partying, doing shit just for obligation and "dates", if I had to do shit like this I'd leave a relationship in a heartbeat.

Sadly, the only woman I found that was close to this as into me was a feminist, so I didn't even entertain the thought, rather be alone tbH.

Engaged femanon here. Definitely wouldn't settle for a relationship where a guy doesn't support my art. My fiancé is super understanding of my passion for drawing (even though he doesn't share it), leaves me alone when I need to work and doesn't pressure me to do social stuff. But if he ever went crazy and made me choose between him and art, I'd choose art

This shouldn't even be a choice. It's between being happy (doing what you like) and being unhappy (being with a partner who doesn't support what makes you happy).

I'd be surprised if anyone were to choose the latter option. Luckily, I'm in a relationship were the both of us support each other.
