They’re emotionally unavailable which is why they use me for sex. I’m not purposefully seeking out men like that they just show their true colors at the end

Men are emotionally unavailable. That’s why I’m single.

Men can be emotionally available. But it requires trust. And very often men aren’t made to feel like they can be themselves, even around their partners.

A mix of both. Had an ex who was 100% only using me for sex (we had conversations about it), had another who was 100% emotionally unavailable (also had conversations about it)

Ofc ur not seeking out men for emotional unavailability—some might, but it’s not as many as men think. The fact men even think that abt women as a whole is ridiculous, I’m just saying the men u go for happen to be like that, and that’s probably bc they have options (they’re highly attractive and/or charismatic).

Uh no? I seek to date. And that’s what they portray as well until I get to know them more and more and realize they lied about intentions. I didn’t say I’m seeking men for emotional unavailability I said the men that are emotionally unavailable are using ppl for sex and lying about intentions. To make it seem like it’s our fault is the ridiculous part

Why would I purposefully care for those things in a guy and why would you act like men who are emotionally available can’t be attractive and charismatic

Bc ppl like individuals who are attractive and charismatic, which means the desired after guys feel like they can sleep around.

I mean that doesn’t mean they should lie about intentions but that also doesn’t mean we purposefully pick men that are using us bc we don’t know if we’ll get used. Ppl in general don’t usually know that until they get to know someone enough to see signs

I’m not saying ur seeking then out. I’m saying the more attractive/charismatic the guy is, the more likely he is to be like that. Whether u know it or not, ur likely going for guys like this.

And I don’t mean ur actively seeking out players. These guys tend to just be the ones who get girls tho, whether due to attractiveness, charisma, etc.

I’m not though? Why do you think bc women want attractive men they get players? It’s like saying “maybe if you didn’t go after such attractive men men would treat you better. Give the less attractive guys a chance”. Which isn’t true either. I mean I want a charming and charismatic guy, why shouldn’t I want that

I’m open if I come across a good one but I haven’t seen one ,so I’m not gonna be putting myself out there. Men in general have given me nothing but grief and pain so I’m not really sorry about it.

Why isn’t that true? Players are attractive, and attractive men often are players. If u want a different type of guy, u may want to give guys who are less charismatic a and attractive (within reason) a chance.

No? Women are allowed to seek men that are attracted to. Stop pushing stereotypes to force women to settle for men that aren’t attractive bc they think they’re “better”. They aren’t always better they can be very cocky

Or is it because you’ve been brought up to believe your feelings don’t matter? And then when someone has a genuine conversation with you and doesn’t share the same beliefs, which is what dating is for, you view it is rejection and impudence, instead of disagreement and difference of opinion?
