Metaphysical question time.....again
Posted by EllygantWe're VERY different.
Men and women aren't that different. Women's coping mechanisms are just more often outward while men's are more inward.
Also love isn't a completed checklist. It's a lifelong experience of growing. Sometimes you get to do that with one person. Sometimes a few. But either way it's never dependent on another person's ability to satisfy needs.
Second part, what you talkin bout?
Posted by AneemA08I hope you find it, true love probably exists!Posted by bricklemarkI have trained myself up to 70% to separate this and that in boxes. I've learnt that from men, yeah.
I think we all agree that love is a full experience for women, physical, emotional, social, professional, spiritual, sexual. It ticks all the boxes. And it has to tick all the boxes, women dont date JUST for sex, or JUST for money, or JUST for social status or JUST for her emotional needs....when she loves, it's about ALL the boxes. She wants a complete prince charming, that satisfies every part of her, forever.
It's like women are condensed, into a smaller package than men.
Men, on the other hand, we can compartmentalise, agreed? We could date a woman for sex, another for emotional needs, and another for money. Not a problem for us.
So anyway, once all the boxes are ticked, and the woman's happy, and madly in love, all she thinks about is sex. Isnt that a bit paradoxal?
Still waiting to find a man to give me a reason to be a woman.click to expand
Posted by WarAngel1Easier...to compartmentalise ? What about aspiring to be a prince charming?
I agree, the older I get, the easier it becomes.
Posted by Astrology101It's like sex is the key to opening the spirit, but once it's open, the guy needs to be interesting, and everything, the whole oackage, he needs to be magic.Posted by bricklemarkSex is the glue. But I need all parts of the machine.. to make it work. So in simple terms my answer is no... it's never just about the sex.

However sex does come to the forefront. I think sex is always in the forefront... for guys... and in a similar way when a girl falls for someone. .. sex comes to the forefront..
Tho it's never just about the sex.click to expand
Posted by Astrology101I think it's kind of like a chicken and egg situation..."you need to be magic in order for me to open up...it's important that you're worth it if l am to open my spirit", both conditions kind of motivate one another.Posted by bricklemarkHmm I agree partially. For me its the reverse.. the guy needs to be magic.. for me to open up sexually.Posted by Astrology101It's like sex is the key to opening the spirit, but once it's open, the guy needs to be interesting, and everything, the whole oackage, he needs to be magic.Posted by bricklemarkSex is the glue.

Posted by WarAngel1I've had about 100 sexual partners (in a loose sense, no pun intended), but only one or two true loves. I believe we can probably only have one, that's it right? One love, pure. Maybe they don't work after a while because we grow but fundamentally, l think it's one.Posted by bricklemarkYes, compartmentalize. There's only been three women in my life I've been charming enough with to keep myself on my best behavior consistently.Posted by WarAngel1Easier...to compartmentalise ?

Posted by LordComplexityWell you're 23 you're looking out for yourself, but later you'll want to make others happy. ?Posted by bricklemark

Meanwhile the man looks at that and says "Yeah I can do and be all that... But do I really care enough to put in the energy?"
LMAO. We would rather just pursue the things we are passionate about.
Although I don't get how a dude can make his whole shtick about Pussy. You can get it easy if you know what you're doing but some guys check most those boxes just so they can get laid.click to expand

Women settle for marrying whomever because 'it's time' and. I live in sight...
Men do settle because they tirwsnof chasing for sex and there he can have it (or he thinks he will)...
Reminding me of an episode when man says 'I've got married hoping I won't have to masturbate' - while masturbating...?
Soooo...I've heard you are single right?
That's figures.
Posted by Astrology101Not at first...it's like heaven... ? But it may become a little over-whelming, especially in contrast to his previous experience.
Does this mean if a woman focuses only on sex.. once they get married or are in a relationship ... a guy gets tired?
Posted by GemitatiI might agree with the first part but not with the second. Why would any man marry only to get sex? That would be suicide, financially and everything. A man can get sex easy these days, whether through a cheap brothel, dating apps or just by going out and meet some horny women. It's not like he has to get a model like woman to have sex with and then again, he won't marry one either. lolPosted by bricklemarkThat's untrue from beginning to the end.

I think someone confused metaphysical with physical 😄

Posted by ScorpionKnightMaybe canadians are particularly shallow...l wouldnt put them on the same level as Europeans or Asians. No offense...lol if that's possible. But l dont mean it in a bad way, you're just lucky to have a gigantic new chunk of land, and things seem to be going well for you, it's a universal trait of humans and animals to become shallow when needs are totally met. And l think the women become more shallow for some reason.Posted by bricklemarkYou seem to have an unnecessarily lofty opinion on the depth of women...i have never dated a woman who, if they turned sideways, wouldn't disappear. None with the emotional development of which you speak. Still looking though...Also not sure why you think men are so basic.

It's hard to not see the 'bedroom' as the cornerstone of all relationships
it always comes down to an emotional connection, that is expressed through intimacy

I was just defining my self. And I am sure there are many women SIMILAR in behavior to mine. But, not all women behave this way.

Posted by Capmercury87No, some people have high sex drive and some don't, regardless of happiness.
No matter what its considered, a high sex drive is a sign of a happy person. Stress free, loved and taken care of.
If two people are really happy, hormones get happy too
That's a bit of a cop out, they act all serious, they need a man with intelligence, caring etc etc and then it's all about sex. That's a cop out.
Posted by bricklemarkPossibly. I know some women who compartmentalise. Some women can date a guy for money and then another just for sex.

The we could date a woman for sex, another for emotional needs etc I think has something to so with male support structures. Men tend to rely on their partners to meet many of those needs while women get a great deal of their emotional support from their friendships, money from family and so therefore when looking for a partner don't need someone just for one aspect. They can go to further up the hierarchy of needs and look for someone who gives them more than just the basics.
