		<description><![CDATA[Please listen to me. i am the voice of experience in this. i married a man i felt no attraction to at all. in fact, he was shorter than i wanted also. i thought he was ugly. but i need a father figure then, and i could talk to him. i also was very beautiful, and i heard talk in my house of how pretty women were not so nice (they were actually referring to a family member) and their character was less than desirable. put all this together, and i had to show them all that i was of good character, and looks did not matter.  but they did. and chemistry did. i had a long marriage with him, three children grown and  grandchildren.  i could not tolerate sex after awhile. i desperately wanted a man i craved.  yes, eve when i was 65. i was so sexy feeling even then, but i had no desire for him. i should have left him or never married him.  i was such a child.  i began to have sexual affairs win i was 65! men who were younger in their fifties  thought i was sexy and pretty.  i had great genes. the thing i can tell you, is that it would have been more fair to let him go to find a woman who loved him and craved him.  also, that when you are older, if you have your health, you can still have great sex, but only if you love each other and have passion.  that passion never dies.. really do not let anyone tell you it does. i have friends who are still in love and passionate. and when and if the man is impotent in older age,, you still desire each other, so you cuddle up because you want to, and you do other sexual things.  leave this man, find someone else.. give him his freedom and another woman he deserves. you deserve another man. you do not have to go  thru the scenario that was painted with kids and pot belies!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me answer this honestly...the answer is NO. Two years ago, I met the MOST amazing guy..he was sweet, kind, caring, thoughtful, funny, and intelligent.  We dated for 6 months.  I knew he was a good match for me every other way.  But the idea of beingwith him physically was not something I looked forward to.  Physically he was not aguy I would have gone out with but he was so nice and sweet, I had to give him a chance.  No matter how hard I tried...I could not force the physical attraction...while it is not everything in a relationship, it is part of it an when one part is missing then you (nor he) get the complete package and that is not fair.

He deserves someone that thinks he is the ssexiest, smartest, most attractive man ever. He is a guy that deserves in return what he is giving (which is 100% of himself)...if you can&#039;t give it to him..then allow him the chance to find someone else who will.

I am sorry to say it like that...but it is true.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it starts that you do not like him touching your knee, or walking with his arm around you, it is time to say good-by.  If  you are really not sure what you should do, then continue the relationship.  In time, you will know if you should continue it or not.  You will either start to like him more, or start to not want him to touch you, you will start to not want to touch him, and then you will want to end it.   So, give it time......if you are not sure what to do.....but don&#039;t get married yet.....find  your answer first!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think Evan is giving the OP the wrong advice, because ultimately, she will be unhappy with this person, if she has tried so far and given it a chance. The mere fact that she is conflicted about her bf says a lot. If a person was happy, they wouldn&#039;t be &quot;torn&quot; about someone. Posters have said here that she knows her own answer, and needs to move on; I agree, unless of course, she is able to look past the attraction issue, which, it sounds to me, that she is not able to do that. I also believe for myself (like many others here) that sexual attraction is a very subjective thing, but also, sexual attraction is needed to be with someone romantically (for myself personally). You give it a try with someone, and if you truly feel unfulfilled in the chemistry department, then in my opinion, it is not the right relationship. Some individuals do not need attraction as an important component of their relationships, and they have absolute right to choose people based on those preferences. But also, there are people who do need attraction or chemistry and they should be equally respected for those very personal choices and needs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have relationships with men that I am not attracted to. I call them friendships...there is no intimacy and never will be. In my late 30s there are still a lot of years a lot of intimacy ahead (I hope) that can either be pleasurable with the right man or just downright insufferable with the wrong one. I did have a relationship for a year with a man I liked but really wasn&#039;t attracted to 10 years ago. I was genuinely unhappy although we got on well in other ways - I really saw him more as a friend. 10 years on and he is married to a women who adores him and they now have a baby. We are still friends and I am happy for him. I am not overjoyed by my single situation and there are many things that I regret and wish I had done differently. However, not for one moment do I regret letting that one go because I know that we wouldn&#039;t have been happy together. He now is and I still have a chance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;About the man in this relationship:
1. He’s being kind of selfish: He must have at least some kind of idea that this woman is not inlove with him, yet he’s trying to seal the deal faster than a speeding bullet. He’s not thinking/caring about her needs as a sexual being with hormones.&quot;
 
That&#039;s because, most guys have been socialized by both other men *and* women, to think that females are *less* superficial when it comes to looks.
 
I can&#039;t tell you how hard a time I&#039;ve had convincing guys that females are actually *way* more selective with respect to assessing the physical attractiveness of potential mates, than the reverse.
 
But, every time someone points this out, the rank and file apologists(both male and female), shout it down.
 
Go, figure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should add that just because someone likes us it doesn&#039;t make it a good relationship.

It takes Two to Tango.  Otherwise you&#039;re dancing alone.  You&#039;re not on the same page.

It&#039;s NOT enough that this man feels big attraction for this woman.  

From her comment it sounds she is much more attractive than him.  Getting someone less attractive than you to get interested and attracted to you is one of the easiest, most instantaneous things to happen.  

Just look at the older men out there (usually wealthy) with a woman younger and more attractive than them.  Many of these sugar daddies &quot;swear&quot; they&#039;re in love.  They&#039;re in lust.  It&#039;s very possible that the boyfrient of the OP is &quot;in-lust&quot; with her due to her being much better looking than him.  Maybe she&#039;s the most attractive woman he&#039;s been able to date, and his being in-lust is not allowing him to see the reality of the situation, that she doesn&#039;t like him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The OP feels no chemistry for this man, yet she is second guessing herself.  

Romantic relationships require sexual intercourse, kissing, making out.  

You need chemistry for this. Otherwise it will feel wrong, like a chore, and maybe even disgusting later in the future.

The OP feels no chemistry for the man, eventually (maybe it&#039;s happening already) she will try to avoid kissing, making out, and get out of having intercourse with him.

If they stay together and have children:

1.  What kind of an example will be to them, a passionless couple.

2.  When the OP finally denies the man physical intimacy, or ends up meeting a man she really wants to be with, the marriage will end up in divorce.  The kids living in separate homes, drama with the new boyfriend/girlfriend, new step parents, and finding a new mate who will accept you with children.

About the man in this relationship:

1.  He&#039;s being kind of selfish:  He must have at least some kind of idea that this woman is not inlove with him, yet he&#039;s trying to seal the deal faster than a speeding bullet.  He&#039;s not thinking/caring about her needs as a sexual being with hormones. 

2.  He&#039;s very insecure:  a confident person man/woman looks for someone who wants us physically because we feel we deserve to be wanted.  A confident man doesn&#039;t settle for someone who seems so unsure of him, because he knows there&#039;s someone else out there who will just want to rip his clothes off as soon as they get home.

3.  He&#039;s not very intellingent:  he&#039;s not thinking about what a horrible future could be waiting for them around the corner.  It&#039;s a lot more likely that a woman cheats on a man she&#039;s not attracted to.  

About this woman:

1.  She&#039;s very insecure of her thoughts and feelings:  She knows in her gut that she&#039;s not romantically attracted to this man, there&#039;s no chemistry on her end.  Yet, she has to ask everybody what action she should take when it&#039;s all about her feelings, her attraction, whether she likes or doesn&#039;t like this man.  She already has the answer, yet her insecurity, lack of self-trust is not enough for her to say &quot;hey, I&#039;m not into this guy, what am I doing here?  I should be out there, meeting new people because even thought I care about this man, there&#039;s no romantic future here&quot;  This woman has self-esteem issues and believes she&#039;s not going to find someone with whom to have a normal romantic relationship, so she sticks with the first guy that accepts her.  She needs therapy, and to mature a little more.

2.  She&#039;s being selfish:  In a big way she&#039;s using him as a safety blanket.  No one should be used like that.  He deserves someone who is inlove with him, we all do.

3.  She&#039;s not thinking:  about the future.  In most cases things get more challenging, especially living together, raising children and all the stress that brings about.  That&#039;s why chemistry and liking your partner is so important, it helps us get thru it all because we feel that we&#039;re doing it along with Ms. Mr. Right.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I truly hope that this thread debunks forever the myth that females are less visual, or selective in terms of culling prospective mates according to their relative physical attractiveness.
 
The truth is - sexual liberation has accorded females with the ruinous latitude to weight physical attractiveness in their mating choices, with disasterous effect to the evolutionary stability of developed world populations(in terms of sub replacement fertility - which is the consequence of fertility losses incurred by female dominated outcomes in sexual conflict - where the female role as the rate limiting morph in reproductive success predicts systemic fertility losses, as well inbreeding depression effects from the smaller male breeding populations that invariably follow). 

Trivially observed, this dynamic manifests most apparently of females in the single demographic, where the longer they stay on the shelf(or riding the carousel), the more maladapted they are likely to be to long term gains(with respect to LTRs) - and the less likely they are to ever &#039;pair-off&#039;.
 
The indications are(with rare exceptions), that they are unwilling to trade off a concern for sex in exchange for long term gains(relationship security, and correlated benefits). 
 
And the reality is, that, given female selectivity(manifest through their role as the rate limiting morph in reproductive success), the majority of females will never be able to reconcile sexual satisfaction with monogamy since most will not be  able to hold the interest of a *much* smaller population of &#039;choice&#039; males with inexhaustable options(think Pareto&#039;s principle, for an approximate distribution of sex - with males the &#039;fatter tailed&#039; distribution - and you will begin to understand the dynamic behind the prevailing sexual market place in developed world populations).  
 
So, I think we can safely conclude that females who are obstinate about not trading off looks, for relationship security are not really serious about pursuing a LTR with reasonable prospects(instead of trying to land the hypothetical hunky rich guy with a BBW fetish), forgetting that a small and select population of &#039;choice&#039; males(which greater female selectivity ensures) cannot logically &#039;pair-off&#039; with a *much*(much!) larger population of choosy females(who all want the same small pool of men - and who are all equally unwilling to &#039;settle&#039;).
 
My sympathies to Evan, as he has quite a difficult task(at least in helping the women to realize whether or not they are *genuinely* looking for love - which will *always* entail compromises, and trade-offs(particularly in terms of male attractiveness)- or whether they are only willing to indulge an ideal, which is nowhere indicated in liklihood). 
 
It is clear, of the many female apologists that frequent this blog, that they either have no interest in LTRs, or are hopelessly maladapted to them.
 
Which, of course, begs the question of their investment in this blog(except as a medium to ply their rank apologism).
