xxoo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 And yes I go for men who are attractive, I wouldn't say "really hot". I guess it depends on one's taste. Those are the men who can get the most play and use it instead of investing a lot in one woman. The unattractive ones have to invest in one woman to get sex constantly, I wouldn't say their emotions mean much as they would be totally different if they were a little bit more attractive! Your life experiences make you who you are. Maybe they would be different if they were more attractive, but that would be a shame if their life experiences have made them attentive and loving. Of course, there are loving, attractive people, too. They probably aren't hanging out in night clubs, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Author El Brujo Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 To Mesmerized: It wouldn't surprise me if those sex-obsessed guys you're talking about do a lot of drugs and miss a lot of work to boot. It just sounds to me like they consider an orgasm to be one more thing that will give them a high. Next time you run into these guys, you should tell them about Fleshlights (you can look it up)... they cost about $60, and when a guy is jonesing for a sex fix, he can just duck into a public crapper, lock himself in a stall, whip that Fleshlight out, get his fix, then put the cap back on it and go on his merry way... no commitment necessary. He may, however, have to explain to the cops why he's carrying a big "flashlight" everywhere he goes... Link to post Share on other sites
ZhaoZilong5 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 A collection of statistically significant studies show that though people think women are the more romantic gender, it's actually the males who seek romance and work out it. I'm currently using the textbook as a mouse pad, and I'm waaayyyy too lazy to pull out some abstracts right now, so just research it yourself lol. With that said, I would hypothesize that it's because there's more pressure for men to search for it, while women tend to wait for it. That, and I think the biggest point is that another collection of statistically significant studies show that men fall in love easier while women fall out of love easier. In layman's terms, men these days tend to try harder to keep the romance than women do. Also, how often do you see G.I.G.S. happening with males on forums vs. females?

Woggle Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think that many people still want love but they look at the way things are and wonder why they should even bother. Truth be told I can't blame them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Sahagin Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think a lot of people are scared of love quite honestly. There is nothing better than falling in love and having someone fall in love with you too. Usually, most of us will be hurt by someone we love and we will hurt someone that loves us and this hardens a lot of people to love and romance. I've heard so many stories of people madly in love as kids/teens, who were hurt and so shut down emotionally and turned to situations where they could avoid love. People associate love now with codependency, cheating, divorce, hurt, pain, disappointment, fear, jealousy, vulnerability, lies etc. We are scared as a whole to be hurt by another person. Probably what a lot of us need to do is accept we might get hurt and fall the hell in love anyway. After all nothing in love is guaranteed, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy it whilst we have it. Also, people are kinda forced to be 'tougher'. Love is admitting you want/need the person around. This is scary for many who want to be seen as independent and free. Link to post Share on other sites
ThaWholigan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Compare and contract once he gets his statistically likely divorce where she commits court assisted robbery. Highly doubt it. Kindly push off with that talk 3 Link to post Share on other sites
without Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So right. But i'm into love and these stuff... Which I see no one around me is like me. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Has romantic love become a taboo topic? That's just crap. I'm crazy about my husband and more than willing to gush about it. If that makes me uncool, like I care? NOT! Link to post Share on other sites
