I make sure that all my lovers don’t clash with my favorite purse. I hate that!
Where's mine?! Everyone else gets one and it's not fair to expect me to learn the level of social function required to participate. Someone should be forced to lower their standards until I count, although they need to meet my standards.Yes! This!
The sense of entitlement in some of the posts in this thread is concerning.
Sadly it's not just this thread, it's pretty much every time the topic comes up.
It seems like when women end up in this boat they're prone to just internalizing being undesired; men seem to grow resentful over it - possibly because of how much being sexually active is associated with concepts of masculinity.
I know the people with this sense of entitlement are often offended by having it described as such, but it's fundamental to understanding a big part of the struggle.
You're likely to partner with people you click with, not the people you find most attractive. If you never click with anyone or ignore the people you click with because they're not what you envision, you're bound to struggle a lot more.
