Maybe yea. I do see the appeal to men. I just don’t want my soulmate to be a man, as in, I don’t want to take it that far. Because of the fear of pain and worry and potential consequent mental health effects. Plus it leads to me wanting to binge eat more out of comfort.
I have to admit that I was a complete slimebag who just wanted to use women for sex before I sobered up. So were most of the rest of the males I hung with at that time. I can understand why it’s frustrating for women.
Just date men but don’t have sex with them. It’s a shame that relationships have gotten so transactional in our society, but i guess it is better to not be naive about it. You could always get really fat and then nobody would want to have sex with you, but then again people kind of like feeling attractive so you probably don’t want that either. I’d say maybe the best way is to get to know somebody before you have sex with them, But that requires you to have good judgment and most people with our illness don’t have that. Don’t know what to say except don’t date a**holes
kinda sounds odd to say you are being used for sex when regularly meeting up with men from hookup apps. isnt that the point? most people on those apps only want one thing. i hear that if u really want to meet good people u meet them through your daily activities and hobbies
Yea that was a phase where I was unsure of my true needs. I thought it would be fun getting drunk. It was. But then I relapsed. And that’s not getting used as it was a mutual decision between me and the man I had sex with.
If you’re with someone you’re not really attracted to, you’ll just be friends. When you’re young you think you’re supposed to be in a relationship. You’re better off waiting for someone you want, even if it takes too long. I wish I would have focused more on a career than worrying about being with a man. When you settle for someone you don’t really want, you usually regret it.
When you find “that someone” it’s really like finding the missing half of your soul. You just feel complete around them and can’t imagine not beiing around them. Partly sexual, but mostly not.
Courage is to love and be loved regardless, despite fears.
If that was the relationship and they moved on so be it. If they truely care for you they wont do that. You wouldnt want someone to stick around anyway if thats who they were. That would be terrible. Not loving in the moment.
i trust my first degree family. no one else. you shouldn’t either. life is war disguised as an amusement park. put on your war suit and get it on. boom. fly me to the moon. in other worlds, trust no one.
