I think this line is true, but not an absolute. I would qualify it thusly:
"Troubled men use love to get sex, damaged women use sex to get love."
I think we've all witnessed this or seen examples of this, but it isn't normal or healthy. And it certainly is not universal. IE it isn't ALL men and ALL women. I know I was weird because while I wanted sex, I never wanted it just to have it. I had to care about the girl and have feelings for her. And I certainly met women that tried to use sex as a way to get a man to love her. But there was something in their past that was telling them that the other things LH mentioned, for them, were not good enough. They were good enough, and that they had to put out to get a man to love them.
If you think about it, that is very sad. Men lying and manipulating just to get into a woman's pants. And a women with such low self-esteem that she feels she has to do that to make the guy like her. So unhealthy...................
Read carefully, Steve, it mostly restates what onlybent says in the prior comment. To me at least, onlybent implies that men and women will, as a general rule, approach sex differently. I'd heard that comment before and it is quite similar. I don't think that adage is meant to be cynical. I don't have a personal response that generalizes, all I know is my experience for the past 32 years with my ex.
