Search Results: intentions with a guy

There is a negative stereotype that men are slower to grow up and mature when it comes to how they treat the opposite gender.

Personally I know I think and react differently towards women in general compared to how I was in my teens and early 20s. I am more careful about the comments I make, refrain better from starring too long (if she’s attractive), I communicate better if I am interested or not, I make better thought out decisions and I handle rejection better (and reject others better) compared to the younger version of myself

I also know most women hate the feeling of “being used and/or lied to for sex.” If it’s a hook up or fling I’ll be open about my true intentions even if it costs me want. Not to say I was a liar when I was younger. But years ago I would stay tight lipped if I just wanted one thing when the other girl was thinking we would get in a relationship. In retrospect I recognize that was wrong. Nowadays I don’t give false hope.

That of course doesn’t mean I’m perfect. I will continue to make mistakes. However I am more cognizant of how the other gender thinks now. I also am less likely to get caught off guard if a bad gut sense about something.

With that said I’ve have unfortunately encountered a lot of grown ass women in their 30s and even older that still show blatant immaturity. The worse example is how some of them still play dumb if a guy is interested (and woman isn’t) to exploit the friéndzone for attention and benefits.

I would think a grown woman would know better than to do that. It’s not a sex issue but a respect issue. The guy has only so much time, resources and patience to stick his neck out.

He can handle rejection but being friendzoned is extremely insulting. He will usually figure it out faster than a young man and when he does he will feel exploited.

Just meeting older woman who still believe in this crap is insane.

I like to think a girlfriend is temporary even if I have permanent intentions. As men we never know the girls intentions and whether they are subject to change. Today's forever can mean the end of it X time later.

What's the point of not considering a girlfriend to be yours truly forever and ever? No surprises and setbacks. There is a reason I intend to listen to LMFAO Party Rock Athem, not Juice WRLD all girls are the same.

Can't tell them about it. They will be upset I guarantee it. They won't understand, that as men we are on our own ⚠ and therefore it serves as a protective mechanism. These are some of the darker things some men are actively not telling women.

There is a saying "She's not really yours. It's just your turn now".

Story Time: One time I used to have a "girlfriend", who claimed I was hers and all that mushy stuff about being together. But then she ghosted me completely and most likely cheated on me too. Eventually I got over it 100% but the price of such surprises is too high for me to risk once more. It's been 5 years.

Never again. I can't. Simple as that.
