Then, an actual female calls BF on his macho BS. Which is what I have done, but didn't get much of response, except from BF's "minions", who defended him with "what BF really means is . . . ." Whatever. Hey TSinA Well, I'll respond. And even if I didn't, you must like sharing your opinion or you wouldn't do it. Nothing wrong with that. So who are these "minions" that bf has? I must have missed that thread.
I'm not aware of your whole story but you appear to present yourself as the antithesis of bf on one hand, yet quite straight forward, to the point, could care less what people think like bf on the other. Not that he really thinks that but that is the perception people can get.
So you think your W stays in the M because you are Not macho? Interesting. So if it's not stepping on too many emotional mindfields, what was the OM like? Was he macho? I believe I read somewhere that it was a long affair. Goes against the whole macho men for short term use theory but notice she was not M to him, she M you. Macho men usually don't make great M partners in a woman's eyes. They are great fun "on the side" but for a long-term commitment like M, eh, not really. Part of this is evolutionary of course, women, particularly those planning on having children, want a stable, loving, "nice" guy as the father but ultimately, often in mid-life, her own sexual drives will come to life and her id will start to take over her superego. She wants what she wants and she spent her whole life being the good girl, good W, good mother, she just wants a taste of the pie. Not all women go throught this of course, but plenty sure do. Same as men but we already know that.
So....I guess you don't want to be part of the Frankenstein experiment?
