Hello there ~
I'm here for something different from Fetlife. Interested in friends, play partners, and people I can attend munches, classes, and events with.
Connections I'm interested in:
Interesting people who can teach me new things.
Connections I am NOT interested in:
My hard limits include:
The problem seems to be that men fundamentally misunderstand how attraction works for women. Yes, physical is part of it but that's just it...it's *part* of it.
I almost never see a man I find physically attractive. 80-90% of the men in my inbox are all physically unattractive to me. I ran a poll Read more… about this one time and compared the poll results to existing research and it's pretty consistent: most women find most men physically unattractive.
That said, women don't rank physical attraction at the top of their priority lists in dating. Men constantly insist that's a lie (despite so much goddamn research consistently showing that nope, women really don't rank physical attraction as important as men do).
I'm bisexual and I've been in long term romantic/sexual relationships with 6 men. Only one of them I was actually physically attracted to right at the start. For the rest, my attraction grew and developed through familiarity and social chemistry. A thing that only occurs over time and with consistent positive interaction, shared values, and a mutual desire for a relationship to exist. Most women aren't attracted to most men at the start. To be fair, it's not like we've been socialized to view men in the objectifying terms of physical beauty or that men have been socialized to actually put effort into their beauty, grooming, wardrobe, or even personal hygiene. And that's before we even get into, "so has he done the internal work to address his internalized misogyny or is he going to feel entitled to on-demand sex and 24/7 free maid services because he has a dick and she doesn't?" Cause most men sure as fuck haven't examined that repulsive part of themselves. They haven't even reached consistent dental cleanings.
Time and trust.
I lead a very busy life so time is a huge limiting factor.
Trust, because most people simply aren't trustworthy. Kink is incredibly dangerous and the bdsm subculture attracts a fuckton of ***rs and idiots, both of whom are unsafe to play with obviously. About 5 minutes into any Read more… conversation, I can tell I'm either talking to a predator looking for a naive victim or an idiot looking for an unrealistic porno reenactment. Neither are appealing prospects and they represent the majority of what's on offer.
So yeah, time and trust.
Because I've had stalkers before cause creeps see women as possessions instead of people.
