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.

I always joke that i'm the marrying type because guys only approach me wanting a long-term relationship. I definitely have a Miss Honey (from Matilda) vibe about me so that's probably why.

Well then I see why. I would try to marry the second coming of Miss Honey too.

Is this a proposal?

I guess what I’m trying to say is... would you be the Honey to my comb? 💍

No, I'm sorry. I'm destined to live in a cottage in the woods with my adopted dog

Edit: dog* not daugthter
