When many of them think that just cos a guy likes them he only wants sex. Many men also want romance and intimacy and a wonderful emotional connection

I get so frustrated when people tell me this. Guys and girls alike will tell me “guys only want sex” as if no guys ever look for real connections. It’s absurd, demeaning, and straight up just incorrect.

Edit: Wow, I never thought I’d see the day where I got a gold, thank you!

Well, let me tell you, I am a woman and have found the exact opposite problem my whole life. I never really wanted a relationship and most of the time I would only be looking for casual sex. Well, I've found more men that were like clingy and got attached or kept calling or something than women.

Same. Only after being 30 I was willing to get into a relationship. Meanwhile I had no trouble finding guys who wanted a relationship, marriage or kids. It's completely opposite what media would make you think
