They say Women are complicated. I say Men are just as complicated. OK, maybe I take that back a little. How relationships are forged is a mystery to me. It appears to me, from my personal experience, that if I act as if I don't care I get the attention from those I want attention from. Yet, if I start to show the softer and gentler side, I hit a brick wall. It makes no sense to me. How do two people manage to take things to another level? Am I just clueless as to how this thing works? Am I supposed to pretend to be a damsel in distress waiting for my knight in shinning armor to come and save the day? But I am not that type of person. I am very independent, but lack the companionship of someone to share things at the end of the day. Sex is Sex and can be acquired nearly anywhere. I know it will be different for each man, but what makes a man take notice enough to want to continue to see someone with goals of other than sex? What is it that makes them think of you and want to see you more? Because I've done both ends of the spectrum and can't seem to find a happy medium. Perhaps the answer for me is to pull back again within myself and abstain from the opposite sex all together and continue the life of solitude or to merely think of them as a commodity of such to be used as needed. Men are easy as long as it only has to deal with sex afterall.
