Drama and Disagreement after the Legs Open

The email correspondence began with, “I miss you”. A disclosure that begs for an identical sentiment. Unfortunately, the conversation below ended in the typical feminine outburst and with a brand of machismo innocence.

What is the usual result when a woman has invested her feelings (opened up her legs) while the man has not taken any action to become emotionally involved/connected (behaving like the animal he is)? DRAMA that rarely ends with the female admitting she may just be responsible for her very own pity party. DISAGREEMENT that relinquishes the male of any responsibility.

The Conversation

Good morning Mr. Man. I miss you. –The Female
Miss you too. No boyfriend yet? –The Male
Very funny.........don't see that happening any time soon. –The Female
I was serious. Has one of your old lovers replaced me? –The Male
Nope...no replacement. When I'm alone and needing to be touched I just imagine it's you instead of my hand. What about you? –The Female
I think you are not telling the truth. Sex is getting overrated to me. –The Male
New Years Eve was the last time. I've never lied to you. Do you remember that night we were up at 4am reading magazines because I couldn't sleep and no one felt like they had to talk? I like that. I do miss the sex (with you). I miss it a lot because we are good together, but I also miss how comfortable I am with you. That’s hard to come by. And by the way, you didn't answer my question. Just because you feel it's overrated doesn't mean you're not doing it. :o) –The Female
Wow. I think I've done it a few times since then. –The Male
So I guess I'm the one whose been replaced. I didn't realize how much that would hurt. It does. Wow! –The Female

The Ending

The female is hurt, disappointed, crushed, and/or feeling cheap. The male is standing his ground: “I did nothing wrong. I was honest from the beginning.”

Men Real Talk (Mr. Man 1 and Mr. Man 2)

I can't stop laughing. "we are good together". She can’t be serious. I wonder if women realize that men hear that a lot. I wonder if they realize that most sexual encounters with men are just that, a damn encounter. And, she's "hurt". I want to read your response to her “hurt” disclosure. Send it, man! –Mr. Man 1

At this stage I'm wise enough to allow women to stubbornly hold on to their self imposed fantasies which are often laced with deceit and manipulation. –Mr. Man 2

You are seriously not going to respond to her? Leaving her bewildered? Hurt? Disappointed? –Mr. Man 1

Yep. We have gone through this for 2 years. –Mr. Man 2

And, she still lingering with this pathetic ‘I am so hurt crap’? Is there more to the story? –Mr. Man 1

No. I told her that I could only provide her with sex. Of course, I treat her well when she is in my company. As I do all of my company. I have told her on several occasions that I have sex with other women. This is her choice. –Mr. Man 2

I just don't get it. You were that upfront - but she's "hurt". Just a failure to protect her feelings...in my book! Women set themselves up for their own pain! And, men end up the villains! I have said it time and time again: Men should not be responsible for making decisions to protect a females' feelings when they (men) are in fact NOT responsible for their emotions/feelings. Yes, we should not deliberately hurt women - but men cannot live their lives tiptoeing because a woman may get upset or hurt by a decision she MADE to satisfy her animalistic desire. Damn that shyt! You are in the clear! I guarantee you that she will call wanting you to ‘touch’ her. –Man 1

The Conversation continued after the Female spent a night of being “hurt”

Sex date Friday at lunch? Your place.................can I eat it? –The Male
You don't even have to ask.............all yours. –The Female

Men Real Talk continued

Mr. Man 1: She will be crying soon. All hurt again.
Mr. Man 2: Like you said, I am in the clear!

    My father once told me, "baby you can't take it personal - its not really about you. There is something else that he is looking for. Its has nothing to do with you as a person, its just his decision". best advice I ever got. Made me mad as a hornet but after I calmed down it made sense.

    See, I am vanilla ice cream. Not every man likes and appreciates vanilla ice cream. Sure he might taste it....play in it....and over it. But in the end he has always been a chocolate or strawberry kinda guy. No matter what I do...he's gonna go with what he likes. That doesn't mean that my vanilla isn't GREAT - its simplicity is what makes it so wonderful. I just have to find a man who likes...no, LOVES my flavor.

    But that doesn't let men off the hook. Just like we have to take better responsibility for our emotions - men need to learn some damn discretion. Learn how to discriminate and then teach your sons how to do the same. Just because there are 21 flavors doesn't mean you need to sample each one. What you end up with is a belly ache and the runs.

    Would she make a good mother? Cuz if you sleep with her, its a possibility she might be your baby mama. Does she get along with my family? and friends?Do her goals and passions and values and dreams match mine?

    Be more intelligent. There are negative consequences for you too.. Ever watch "a thin line between love and hate"? lol.

    Do you ever wish you could not experience the "emotions" so that you will be free of the turmoil? I know I would not care to have to detail with that. It appears to be taxing. Not to discredit it - but the drama behind it, the emotional part, is so unbecoming/unattractive to me.

  3. RY responds to The Shadow:

    I don't wish that I could turn off my emotions and be all rational about my attraction to a guy - its not how women are built. We just like a guy because we do....and we can't even explain it. lol. Its the same thing that makes us so good at nurturing, being empathetic and accepting, and receptive to giving and receiving love. Its beautiful. Why would I want to get rid of it?

    The bottom line is that we all want to feel safe in a relationship. To feel safe we need to a man to be honest, emotionally available, solid, trustworthy and genuine. have some damn integrity. When we don't get this from a man it can bring out the worst - FEAR and INSECURTY. Thats when things get ugly. Ya'll react because we react. And it starts breaking down.

    But not all women are messy and leaky with their emotions. There are some women who have more control and mastery over their reactions.. It takes us a while to get there though. We are works in progress. Ain't nobody perfect.

    Not get rid of it completely. Just for a moment so that you can not experience the emotions...so that you can get ya freak on, at times, without becoming so girly. LOL!

    LOL. Getting your freak on and becoming all girly. Are two very different things in my mind.

    That's so typical!!!! Most women attach emotions with sex and it seems as if the female below went into the situation thinking that she could handle just having a sexual relationship with this male. (Since he did tell her upfront). According to the male, this has been going on for 2 yrs and it's still just a sexual relationship for him. She definitely set herself up to be hurt. At some point, she's going to have to realize that sex doesn't guarantee a commitment. If she wanted a commitment she should have stated that during the conversation when ol boy was letting her know it was just sex for him. She'll learn!!!

    It is amazing to me that some women still believe that they can handle the emotional fallout. Some say that they can - but I have not come across that many. Actually, only one.

  8. ME responds to The Shadow:

    I've known one also, but she became that way because she had been hurt numerous times from the emotional fallout.

    Women are not built like men. But, some women have told me that I am WRONG and that I have no idea what I am talking about when I say: 'Women are incapable of hitting and REALLY leaving.' If I am wrong, it is definitely a sad day out here! Women behaving like men will DESTROY what's left to destroy.

  10. ME responds to The Shadow:

    I agree, women are not built like men and I really don't believe it's that many women that a truly hitting & leaving. Some say they are, but in all actuality they're really tied emotionally and just not owning up to it.

  11. Wow.. that's how most men really feel, knowing that some women can't separate
    feelings, but they still spend time with the Ms. Open LEGS...lol. Why not reject
    the offer or not spend time with the lady, so she has no doubt about where u
    stand?

    Yes!
    No way.
    Then he will not 'score'. Get the panties. In the end, it is about 'getting laid'.
