First off, I was adopted when I was younger from a family where the father was abusive. Then, a few years after I was adopted my adoptive father left my family for a woman he was cheating on my mom with. Also, recently I've been having trouble with men and relationships most particuarly with regards to the fact that I perceive men as only wanting sex. Which I know is not true about all men, but I guess I need proof or something. Is it normal that I am having these issues? I feel bad because I'm thinking that all the "good" guys out there are taken or gay or (unfortunately) just someone I am not attracted to based on looks or some unfortunate personality attribute. And all the ones that are left over are (the way I'm seeing it right now) pig-headed assholes who only think about the next time they are going to get laid and don't want a meaningful relationship with anyone except their couches. And yes, I realize that was very cynical.

    Aw :( I am sorry. The boys I have dated have been wonderful to me and none of them have pushed for sex. I think you may just be around crappy guys.

    I don't understand women who complain about men wanting sex. I mean, excuse us for having biological needs!

      I'm well aware of that, actually. Perhaps I should've been clearer. I only met that it seems to me that they ONLY want sex. Nothing else. A lot of them (and maybe I just see more of this because of the fact that I am surrounded by men on a daily basis as I am in the military) seem to treat women as though they are nothing more than receptacles for their penis and not as human beings. This obviously does not apply to all men, I'm sure, just what I've observed. Maybe I just know some pretty crappy people. Actually, now that I look back and read what I wrote, I don't think I could've been much clearer, but hopefully now you see where I am coming from.
