Why do I say these women are avoidant? Because they all communicate that they have trouble getting comfortable. Most of them say they tend to argue with their BFs frequently. They all say things like "I'm warning you, I'm difficult" or "it takes me a really really long time to trust a man" or "my sex drive is as high as ever but I haven't been in a relationship for years" or "I'm not sure I'm ready for a real relationship" or "I'm not in a good place right now." Some of them have told me they have had sex with a lot of men in the last few years and some have had sex with very few, but I sense some common qualities.
I'm going to try to keep the one I'm with comfortable.
I used to have the problem of chasing unavailable men. I did therapy. It helped. You need to do therapy to figure out why you're so attracted to women who are unavailable.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anyone can be avoidant, dear. But have you considered the common denominator here?
Yes, I have considered the common denominator here. I think I am probably more attracted to avoidant women, unfortunately. I tend not to get as excited about non-avoidant women. The strange thing is that I sometimes haven't actually noticed the women's avoidant tendencies until I've known them for a while. How quickly can you tell a woman is avoidant? By the way, I don't think these have been the ordinary kind of "she's not that into you" situations. The "she's not that into you" situations don't usually involve the kind of chemistry I'm talking about.
I'm hoping some avoidant women will respond here.
