The blog that started it all: THE 11 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DATING A BOY VS A MAN

From justmytype.ca:

When I was in my early twenties, if a guy acted aloof, called back only sometimes and showed minimal interest, I would get hooked. You could say I was addicted to the bad boy/ unavailable boy/ player. I was drawn to what psychotherapist, Ken Page terms as “attractions of deprivation” – when we are drawn to people who embody the worst emotional characteristics of our parents. Basically, the theory explains that we are attracted to people who can wound us the same way we were wounded in our childhood, as our psyche tries to recreate the past void and save us by changing its ending.

“The child in us believes that if the original perpetrators — or their current replacements — finally change their minds, apologize, or make up for that terrible rupture of trust, we can escape from our prison of unworthiness. Our conscious self is drawn to the positive qualities we yearn for, but our unconscious draws us to the qualities which hurt us the most as children.”  – Psychology Today

So games used to work on me because 1) I had unresolved daddy issues and 2) At the tender age of 20, I was trying to figure out who I was and to top it off, I was ridden with insecurity and a low sense of self-worth.

    I think the title should be Boys VS Pussy Men…..Women are trying to look for the “perfect” man again, they just wont give up! Bitches believe in fairy tales and they do not exist.

    According to this chick, you’re a boy, Tom. lol

    She’s dumb. Now that she’s older, she wants men to know they’ll only be seen as men, and not boys, if they fit that description. Ha! It’s like when you talk about chicks who have had their ‘fun’ and are now ready to settle down, so they look for nice guys, or as this chick will call them… ‘real men’.

    women have been conditioned by men to believe the way they behave, toward men, is acceptable. and they cling to their ways without any thought of the results. it is up to men to end the female air of entitlement. and stand to a battle line that forces females to meet us halfway on absolutely everything from start to finish. this far, no fucking farther. I wish the boys would stop chasing women around throwing away their dignity, self-respect and money. it hurts the actual men who expect females will act equitably and healthier toward men.

    ADD NOTHING OF THEIR OWN.

    As a woman I agree men need not care what anyone defines as a man. However, why would guys get bent out of shape over this woman’s opinion? The higher you are on the hierarchy the less you care about what those below you think about you. Lame women AND men!

    Basically the irresponsible “boy” gets to nail all the hot chicks in their prime, and the mature “man” gets to pick up the pieces. In other words the “boys” get the Lee Majors version of Farrah from the poster in the red swimsuit, and the “men” get the Ryan Oneal version with the ass cancer.

    So what’s the incentive to be a “man”?
