I think that's a fair assumption to make for both sexes. Do you trust all guys instantly? doesn't anyone new in your life need time to prove themselves one way or another?

I do tend to believe a man's side of the story until I know all the facts.

Ugh, why do guys never get my jokes? :confused:

I will admit I have difficulty knowing who's joking and who's not. :(

 

It's okay. I have trouble when some folks joke and I know they are, yet I still fail to "get it." *sigh* Or when someone uses slang, I generally won't ask what they mean, because I'm afraid of the answer. :eek::laugh:

 

If someone strikes me as obnoxious, I'll just keep them out of my life, so there wouldn't be the opportunity for dislike to grow into hatred. I've gone through periods of hating a specific man, but never men in general.
Yes! Exactly.

 

The way they look, the way they smell, they way the decent ones behave. I love to see one interacting tenderly with their parents, their children, etc.
OOOOOO I shudder just thinking about it. :bunny::laugh: You forgot the way they walk . . . MMMMMM

Because aspies have trouble figuring out what jokes are (:( ) and because Wog has no sense of humour :p

Add in the cross-cultural element, and there's a clear case for using " :rolleyes: "

 

Despite the fact that your comment seemed to me to be *heavily* and clearly laden with sarcasm, Loony.

I know. It's really unreasonable of me, don't you think? :lmao: Probably irrational, too. :laugh:

 

I blame your hormones. Your time of the month *again*, Outcast?!?

 

Just to be clear, here it is: :rolleyes:

Until about 5 years ago I gave out my trust without much thought and led a charmed life in terms of the possible consequences and then reality hit me hard.

I was the opposite. Throughout most of my adult life I've carried the opinion that until someone proved them-self to me, male or female, friend or lover, I would hold something back. For me it was a defense mechanism. I wasn't so much afraid of getting hurt, more that I was afraid of being seen as 'weak' or 'needy' or of being judged inadequate.

 

Kinda like what you describe here.

I have trust issues that I am dealing with right now with respect to both sexes and have decided that I will trust people to be people. To me that means that I can't know if I can fully trust them until they show me who they are and even then I still don't trust people completely--meaning I don't expose my vulnerabilities to others completely.

I don't give out my trust without thought, but nor do I care so much about appearing vulnerable. Now I find if I'm assertive & honest in all my relationships, people treat me with more respect. People who respect you are less likely to want to deceive you or see you hurt, and being assertive to me means not expecting anything of others, just being direct & self-confident about my needs & beliefs.

That isn't what I want in my life though and dream of encountering at least one person I can trust completely.

The one person I trust completely is myself. People can take me -warts and all - or leave me.

(though I have since been to the doctor about those warts - they're all gone now)

Agreed. Ideally you should be able to reveal your vulnerability in the knowledge that you're fit for anyone who tries to take advantage of it.

 

When people get hurt in relationships, it's kind of natural for them to put up walls for a while. On the other hand, if someone continually has a wall of mistrust, resentment and dislike shielding them from the opposite sex, all this really indicates to potential partners is that a wall had to be constructed to hide some sort of emotional mess from the world.

 

I would think that walls like that attract players like moths to a candle. They serve the dual purpose of indicating the emotional fragility that players thrive on, and presenting the challenge that they adore.
