riddle me this:
what is it with me and men?
can anyone who lives outside my head venture a guess? I'm not exactly profligate with my favors, that's not what I mean by "me and men". It's that thing so many of you dismiss, with great kindness and understanding, as just me being the way I am- the way I lean on men, and the focus I have on the males I'm close to.
but why? As the years have passed, I have noticed that it's a little off from the norm, which is fine with me. I live in my head a lot anyway- I'm not exactly the perfect exemplar of normality in a lot of respects. That's nothing extraordinary, though. Plenty of people I know and love dearly are at least as odd as I am. Most of them, however, don't have this dependency on the opposite sex for stability (and sanity, if I've been spending all of my time with women… nothing like going crazy after too much estrogen exposure).
So I wonder- what is it with me and men? or maybe, why isn't it like this for most people and the opposite gender (with the realization that some people may see this as less of a gender thing and more of a sexual orientation thing)?

I at least somewhat understand what you are saying. Sometimes I just need men, sometimes a butch girl will do.

For me it is the fact that I am so girly and I care so much I need that balance of calming down. So when I am around others who are also girly and get all wound up, it is a bad situation. Though usually I will just hide, cause I don't like conflict.

I don't know if that is similar to your situation. I think it is somewhat a thing of balance. Balance is necissary to life, and that includes hormone levels and the like.

I'm just more comfortable with the man-type folks, even the girly men feel more okay to me than the girls, even manly girls. I'm generally oblivious to gender stuff, though.
