It go both ways... men delude themselves into believing that they really do enjoy the company of women, conveniently ignoring the fact that if they did not want to have sex with them, they wouldn't spend any time at all with them.
Sadly, I think in many cases that can be true. Men do feel like that. It's not at all how I feel, at the risk of sounding like Trump or someone, I love the company of beautiful women----granted, there is always extra thrill when there is the space for sex, in my case there usually is, can't think of many instances where it's entirely OFF the table. I love the company of women, escorts, hustlers, professional women, strippers, it doesn't matter to me. I'm cool with lots of people like that.
but, really I was thinking about this the other day, I always was helped by women. And your childhood shapes your impressions. This is obviously kinda secular, but a really gorgeous girl when I was in high school, she was like 2 years older, but living really, really fast, she used to pick me up from school, I was like 17, in penthouses condos drinking martini's and shyt with her and her girls, all older, she intro'd me to connects, took me to casinos, would be like 4:00 AM watching her play 21 at the table.
so to me, whatever the relationship, I'm with it.



. I had one that told me repeatedly she didn't want a relationship with me because we both lived in different states and then at the same time would catch mood swings if I said something she didn't like or missed a day talking to her like I was her boyfriend.
