I'd like to add something to this thread if I may. In the very beginning misinfiniti stated that they both were looking on a popular dating website for a "friend with benefits". They both began by seeing each other every couple of weeks and "hit it off" right away which made for a very enjoyable time for both. From that point on, things proceeded and somewhere along the line, they took a funny crook in the road and went off in a weird direction and then took a few more funny crooks and suddenly this guy is a jerk and is only out to use women for his own purposes and has no honorable intentions towards any of the women he becomes involved with.

Now, I am not into online dating nor am I a prude. But this was a mutually agreed-upon arrangement in the beginning which, unfortunately, went south.

I have heard that men need sex to feel love and women need love to have sex....or a reasonable facsimile of the same. Therefore, the feelings women and men experience in intimate involvement can become confusing at best.

So, I sort of see it as unfair to bash the man simply because he is choosing a certain lifestyle at this time in his life.

I agree that misinfiniti should run, run, run into the arms of her friends here at PC and let us comfort and support her while she recovers from a disappointed love affair. She is hurting and deserves respite. Anyone in her situation would.
