Thanks even though my NT sister has said over the years that whenever a man is in a relationship, he is in it just for sex and not real love.

I suppose that would depend on the man. There are plenty of men who seek love, as well as any sex, or even love without sex.

But try telling it to my NT sister who has a strong hatred of men.

I wouldn't bother doing that. I would likely leave your misandrist sister to her own devices. :lol:

I don't know how old she is but this is quite a common belief amongst younger women I think

In my personal life experience the opposite has been true

I'm a little confused about which part is the myth.
That men will ever seek love without sex?
I have my own example to show I'll take whatever is offered within the relationship, but if a convenient other emerged and I'm not getting any at home I can't imagine anyone expecting me to refrain.
Would I deliberately court someone when I know there is no chance of sex?
Yes... I am that addicted to being smiled at.
But I'd still have "half married" as my relationship status.

I think bb was replying to AA's post, not me who posted successively after AA.

So the myth that bb was referring to would be the myth peddled by AA's sister who believes that any man in a relationship, is only in that relationship for sex.

Yeah it was

I think it would be good if you got love hearts in your eyes when you fall in love

Lol...people do get little hearts in their eyes when they're in love.
But A. They're a colour you can't see.
And B. You'd have to be able to look in someone's eyes in the first place.
