This is interesting. If I personally found someone reasonably attractive, and not immediately frustrating to be around, I wouldn't particularly mind getting to know them a bit better. However,these days I rarely bother trying to initiate such proceedings, mainly because I know that 90% of them go absolutely nowhere for me, it's not really the women's fault, they're usually nice enough in their own way I guess, but after seeing them two or three times I've usually been pretty sure that these women won't ever really understand me and I'd be wasting time to try and continue. A little while ago I had a flicker of hope in my heart that I had found someone interesting and whom I might share something with...but it turned out I was pretty much just fooling myself, and what I was hoping to find was just not there. This usually leads to some people telling me that I "expect too much" and that I'll "die alone" (yes, some people do actually tell me this...), but they just don't understand. I'm not demanding of anyone, I just don't want to be with a woman who I can just have sex with and discuss mostly meaningless things with. That's why these days, I mostly wait until I know there's something I really like about someone before trying to further things. Right now sexual appeal alone does almost nothing for me, don't get me wrong I can appreciate it from a aesthetic perspective, but I really think I'm at the point now where you could throw the most piping hot sexual gorgeous goddess at me on a platter of uninhibited kink, and you know what, I don't think I would even get a semi erection if there wasn't also something deeper there. That may sound funny, but it's true.
All of that isn't to say I'm discouraged however, as I've been lucky enough to have some hugely satisfying romantic relationships in the past, and I know that there are so many amazing women out there, even too many perhaps. I know it can't be too long until I find one.
