OPWhen you are not attracted to a potential HVM... Sigh
It is so frustrating.
I met this guy in June, via OLD, and I had an intellectual connection from the get go!
First date: We could talk for hours jumping from a topic to another, so the date lasted longer than expected (it was a drink date and he paid for everything. I could barely pay for one as he didn't want to).
I wasn't sure if I was attracted so I decided to give it another chance.
The second date was a surprise from him and it was a dinner date, with him not telling me where he was bringing me to. Again, he paid for everything with pleasure. We kissed and I didn't quite enjoy it, although I had a great time apart from the lack of physical attraction. We could just talk and laugh about anything.
After that, I texted that I didn't feel a romantic connection but rather a friendship connection. Which he accepted to my surprise, although he was, of course, disappointed.
So we kept seeing each other as friends for a few months and then last week, I thought I was finally growing attracted and we talked about it very honestly and openly, which was so mature coming from him. We came back on the text I sent etc.
There's never been any hard feelings on his part, which I've always appreciated even though he told me he was very attracted to me from the start but that he always enjoyed hanging out with me, which I did too. I feel like I can just be myself with him and it is so agreeable. He seems so mature and the last few days, he has been wanting to know where I stand without putting me any pressure whatsoever.
I've offered to go out today and well... I am back to square one. We kissed and I definitely don't feel anything which sucks because he is definitely a potential HVM. He is protective without being domineering. He always remembers everything I say, he is open, honest and overall he has really good values about life and relationships.
As we say, life is just a b\*\*\*\*. I know from experience that HVM don't run the streets to put it simply. I've only had relationships with LVM, the last one being really traumatic with a disordered and abusive person...but I was attracted... a lot.
Now that I know what to look for, and thanks to FDS as well, I just find it so hard to find a HVM, in the first place but the most heart-breaking part is to find him and to not feel even a remote sexual chemistry, it is just so sad. To the point where I actually wonder if it's even possible.
I guess this was just a rant. ):
Comment +55Yeah the highs and lows of toxic guys can make it feel way more exciting and emotional. That won’t really happen with a HVM that’s emotionally stable and taking it slow
Comment +19Most women are attracted to fit young men with symmetrical faces, increased stature and exaggerated secondary male sex characteristics. There's bound to be assholes among the most preferred and sought after males.
Of course, ugly men are even worse, but few women are desperate enough to discover such a thing.
My point is, sexual attraction is a very simple thing we unnecessarily overcomplicate. If you look at a man and feel the desire to touch him and fuck him, then you're attracted to him. If you find the thought uninteresting, or even disgusting, then you're not.
If you also find his company to be pleasant and his behaviour acceptable then he's suitable to be a romantic/sexual partner, a boyfriend and eventually more.
If he's nice to be around and a decent person but your brain classifies him as an asexual object equivalent to furniture then he's not even suitable to be a friend, since men can't be friends.
That's it, imo.
