I know how you feel...and yes, it's true as a female...it may be easier to find someone...but it's just as hard to find someone that understands you.
With me it's sort of a choice...my track record with dysfunctional relationships stands at about 100%, and it's not a goal I went out trying to achieve trust me...my son's already been witness to the last one (between me and his father)...and I wish with all my heart I could erase some of the lousy memories and confusion I know he has because of it, I would hate to ever add more to it just for the sake of not being alone.
I still have my days when I get lonely, and it would be nice to just know someone cared...but they pass, I throw myself into doing the things that I love to do and it helps...and I can honestly say I've been more lonely when I was with someone then at times then when I was truly "alone".
No, for a man it is even harder, the more relationships you go through the sooner you discover what it really is your looking for and wanting, and the sooner you find what you want and need.
so the less relationships a male has or can be in the longer it takes, and the more it hurts when it fails, and the more appreciative we are when we have them, and the more resentful we are or can be when the female does not seem to appreciate or care what a male has to go through to even have a relationship.
females seem to not try as hard to make things work out, like men are more disposable, where we (or at least I did) tried to make it all work while she just sat there seeming to wait for the next reason to end things or for things to go wrong, men are to easy to replace, have to give in more often to keep the partner happy, and have to put up with more crud then we should have to put up with if the relationship was truely fair and equil.
but thats life isnt it? just the way things are.
