So, after dating for a long long while now. Like a long time. And my relationship of 5 years ending. And knowing deep in my heart he never truly loved me like I loved him. And him saying that, too. And reading a book that makes you realize men really only care about sex.. and “love” for them is just a means to an end... I’m starting to think that men don’t ACTUALLY “l.o.v.e.” women the way women love, or the way the movies (like Moulin Rouge) taught me a man could love.

I’ve never had anyone stare at me in admiration. Or had their heart flutter at the thought of me. Or see deep into my soul and know me and love me for who I am. And come to think of it, I’ve never seen it from a man to anyone else. And the more I watch shit like bachelor and message men on dating apps, I realize it’s only like a weird lowkey sociopathic sales tactic to fake “love” to get to sex... right?

Like, that’s the truth, isn’t it? I’ve been fooled my whole life?

No man is actually desperately in love with a woman’s soul, but more so just fears losing someone he’s comfortable enough with that gives him an acceptable temporary dick cave?
