Going straight...

I've had the oddest idea floating around the back of my head for a while.

I'm constantly getting nowhere with men, I can't seem to get a date to save my life, and well, I constantly have women hitting on me.

Should I just give up on men entirely and date women for a while?

I've done it before (I experimented in college). It's not an *unenjoyable* experience...but the emotional depth to have a relationship with a woman just isn't there. I *know* I like men.

*ugh* I think I'm just so fed up with the games and bullshit that most gay men have with relationships that I'm just having a "the grass is always greener" kinda day.

Honey, you KNOW if you were closer ...

(HUG) Giving up on guys isn't really the answer. If you're going to date a woman, date her because you find her attractive physically and otherwise, and NOT to retaliate against the male gender.

It's not retaliation against men. It's more that I've down that road before, it wasn't that unpleasant. If you keep getting hit in the head because you take the path on the left...how long before you learn that the path on the right might be muddy, rocky, and fulla holes...but you don't get hit in the head?

Funny. You make an interesting analogy that works for dating men and for competing in rodeo. We know we're going to keep getting hit in the head, and sometimes it's discouraging, but the payoff for doing it right is worth the effort.

So, I'll just give you the old bit of rodeo advice: When you get bucked off the horse, get back on.

Don't worry, I can't get a date to save my life either. I go out and there will be several guys all over me. Come the light of day, and after the beer wears off. They are long gone, and not interested. Either that or they are mad cuz I don't trick. *shrug* All I say is their loss. Ya gotta kiss lots of frogs to find a prince. They just forget to tell us we gotta wade around in a swamp to find the frogs.
