Ehhh, the older I get in life the more I realize personality is overrated. Ugly or mediocre guys with brains are everywhere. And even then, there is no guarantee an ugly or mediocre guy will actually turn out to be interesting. A tall, gorgeous guy with a six-pack is like an endangered species. If he also happens to have a brain, well it's like winning the lottery, but I am certainly not letting him go because he's not the brightest bulb in the socket. |

Absolutely. Americans have all gone out of shape and ugly, but men especially are told women don’t care about looks. In mid-life, women absolutely care about looks. Think your drive is gone? Just find a fit, enthusiastic man. It will change your life. |
But everyone here thinks you’re the devil incarnate for allowing yourself to be human. Ideally, we’d all be smart enough to foster an environment in our monogamous relationships that gives us enough distance, mystery, emotional intimacy, etc. to find that lust on and off. But humans are lazy by nature (men especially). |
| Yes OP totally and completely. My husband doesn’t though he’s glad to have moved on. |
PP. So, I have tried to give the "best" sex to the sensible, good guy. But good/regular guys usually lack the same inhibition, assertiveness, and risk-taking in bed that bad boys have. As an example, the "bad boy" I had a fling with was very free and open with dirty talk. The "good guy" I'm dating feels awkward with dirty talk and worries it's disrespectful. So like, I can say or do raunchy things, but when I'm met with silence, awkwardness, or he's obviously uncomfortable, there's not much else I can do to make sex better. I love exploring new things but the good guys generally just want vanilla. Often not even vanilla, it's more like....skim milk. |
Me too. My husband has a two or three smooch pattern then hugs me. No heat. |
So gross to see women continually told their sexuality depends on what's being done to them, and by whom, and not, you know, something they're responsible for and can control. |
I just can't make myself want a fat guy with dad bod. Sorry not sorry. I'm thin and fit and want to sleep with fit men. |
| Yes. And novelty. Fortunately, I have a very active imagination. |
They love to sleep with you, but never love you. Talk about fulfilling! |
That’s fine. Men’s love is overrated - they’ll dump you for the next shiny thing anyway if given opportunity |
There are lots of men who are kind and considerate and still comfortable with sex and being assertive. But they're not going to initially hit on you in ways that cross boundaries, so you're going to have to do more of the work to express interest and tell them what you like. |
| I miss this with my wife. She has gained a lot of weight and can't even do 1/2 of the positions we used to do. In addition, she's always complaining and doesn't exercise or eat less. |
What was the Louis CK bit - "I'm not going to rape you on the off chance that hopefully you're into that shit." |
