Search Results: understanding men

Since my 20-year old soulmate revealed that she has started to want humans (and they are humans, not just a 'child'), we have been breaking up due to her demand that she can only be with me if I want to have humans with her in the future. We are very much in love, and our relationship was strong and committed prior to this.

I told my father of this development. He said that all women are subconsciously programmed by evilution to want humans. But men do not have that programming. Which, as a reader of evilutionary psychology and biology books and studies, I agree with.

He told me, for the first time, that the only reason I was born is because my mother wanted a human, and he didn't. She forced him to either have a human with her at some point, or to end the relationship. Because he loved my mother, and didn't want to lose her - a feeling which I think everyone can understand - he had me. This is why I am here today.

With the example of both my parents and my girlfriend, I am experiencing this manipulation as both a son, and as a partner.

What I am certain of, is that a father is very unlikely to tell his children that he did not want them. Therefor, logically, it is entirely possible that this reality is extremely prevelant among the human population. It may even be a majority - even the vast majority - of us who are here for this very reason. Because the mother gave an ultimatum, and the father, scared to lose her, bowed down to her demands.

The thing with a poll of this nature, is that many will either not be aware enough, or strong enough, to accept their suspicions - so I am not expecting this poll to mean much, unless we find that there are many who do, secretly, realise this. Which, on a societal level, would be a wonderfully positive step in the struggle for mutual cross-gender understanding and enlightenment.
