I now realize that he is looking for the emotional connection with these other people- and I am not providing that.
Hey Opt, I've been following your thread, but didn't really have occassion to post before. But I *just* read that a man wants a "connection" just as much as a woman does; but when we take the "male energy" role of doing, giving, thinking, the man feels like something is missing. (Take with grain of salt, highly generalized.) The man actually *wants* to be the one that gives. They want the woman to be the 'feeling' creature, to openly receive what they give us. When we take on the role of doing WAY more than our fair share, we take away some of their joy. When we intellectualize everything, they feel confused because our words don't seem to be connected to our feelings.
Anyway, 'nuff said. I just thought it was WAY interesting to read that you are going the route of sharing emotions.
