Hey AG You do not need to disproove anything. On a subconsious and later consious level it's a cost/benifit evaluation. Is the effort, emotional risk, and time cost worth the benefit of the returns of a PR. For me it's simply not and you are in a different place.
I'd had more than my share of opportunities with fine ladies and when they present themselves it's like General quarters in my mind on a Navy ship with all hands at battle stations so we keep things light and if that remains til I die no worries.
For you I hope things turn out different.
