I am from the USA and I am very bothered by traveling. I hate being in transit. I hate flying(mostly because I hate the chance of delays or redirects etc). I just don't feel that traveling does anything for me. If I go to some new place, I feel like I'd just do what I am doing now but there. So if I go to restaurant, I am just eating food. If I go sit outside, I am doing that here too. However, I have met many women who seem to be travel addicts and I always wondered why. What is the draw to traveling? Why do it? Should I do more of it even though I hate it?
>>2848659No, stay at home and seethe like an incel forever., plz.
>>2848659Travel is just the means you get to a destination. You travel for the destination
>>2848662But what do you do when the travel never seems worth it? Even for the destination?
>>2848659>traveling is living your daily routine in varied settingsExactly. I have no loyalty to my adopted "home" apart from work obligations, and frankly get pretty fucking tired of walking the same roads and trails for the 50th time. So when work wraps up in the fall, I pick some random spots on the world map to see what my daily routine is like there. Usually it is objectively suckier than my life in America. That's good, because it ensures that I will be glad to return to work next year instead of being one of those mopey post-travel depressive faggots. After all, I picked my adopted hometown of my own free choice after years of traveling various parts of America, so hating it would be entirely nonsensical.
However, I have met many women who seem to be travel addicts and I always wondered why. What is the draw to traveling?Because it's the same as driving a fancy car or having a big house. It's a status symbol that can be perceived as wealth and higher status.Travel is different than a monetary good because most people see travel as either having to have a high-status job that moves you around or you are so well off you can pick and choose. It's also a "oh maybe they can take me there" kinda thing.Like what would you rather date, a girl who's current status is living at home with parents and college debt w/ 20 affirms. OR girl who has their own apartment and car with a consistent job you meet out and about.The answer is obvious.
>>2848729If you're not a connoisseur of places, you won't enjoy travel. Some people can go almost anywhere on the map and encounter something or someone interesting. The reason they don't stay at home is because they already explored every nook and cranny around their hometown.To others, every place seems the same because their attention is glued to their phone screen and they barely even notice their environment, except in a negative sense (it's too hot, there's too many blacks loitering at this gas station, the traffic is horrible, etc).
>>2848668Stop pretending there has to be some grand cosmic purpose to sleeping, eating and moving around as one individual human on a planet of seven billion humans...or that moving to some other place is going to elevate your social status and make you the main character in some grand epic tale of adventure that will be told the world over. If you can shed yourself of your self-important delusions, then you can achieve travel Zen and accept that you are a nobody who is accomplishing nothing as you move across the map.
>>2848659Delays and redirects are rare. It costs airlines too much money.
>>2848668Just stay home then bud
>>2848659>>2848668>If I go to some new place, I feel like I'd just do what I am doing now but there.This seriously sounds like a mental illness. You're telling me you go to a whole new place for a limited time, presumably solo, and you just do what you do at home? Sounds like you just don't know how to have fun
