Wow, hearing all of this input is great!

It's starting to make sense as to why I prefer a female therapist.
The relationship issues I want to explore are with women, so it makes sense for me
to have a female to talk to. The trick is finding someone with the skill though.

Regarding male therapist; I don't feel comfortable, maybe because part of it is my views. Most of the male therapist in my area are older (I estimate around 50 yrs old)
I view older men as having very different views than younger ones. A lot of things have changed drastically from their generation to mine.

Oddly though, I feel that women's perspectives on relationships haven't shifted as much. I think I'm rambling on again...

I've never had a male therapist, but I did have two male psych. The second one gave me a little bit of therapy, but I didn't feel completely comfortable. I just feel like I'm under more scrutiny.

Anyway, I'm completely lost but that's why I'm here.

@jbmomg I'm glad you said that. Maybe I'm more comfortable with women because of my issues with my father.
I love him but I feel he gave me very few examples of what it's like to be a man without being aggressive and harsh. I've had to figure most of it out myself.
Sadly I'm sure he had to do the same since his father didn't teach him either. I'm the opposite of you, I have all female doctors! I have no gyno though
