This is not a joke thread.

Inspired by the 'overly-experienced' thread, and so many, many others, I am wondering: Is it possible for a woman to have a healthy relationship with a man who has issues like those we see in this forum every day? And if so, how is it done?

For example, if he thinks experince is a bad thing, or that all women become unattractive after age 40, or lose interest in sex after menopause, or only have sex in the first place in order to get money or social status, or like 'alpha' behaviour, or that sex instead of strengthening vaginal muscles makes them looser, or childbirth, or that his masculinity is something that can be taken away by women's strength... what can she do that helps?

(BTW, it wasn't till I started typing that I realised how many of the common myths in this forum have directly to do with sex. Odd, that.)

I can be sort of neurotic, I liken myself to Woody Allen, sans the pedo stuff and only half the 'funny'....

The items you listed doesn't really sound like 'neurotic' issues, more like just being dumb or misinformed, not so much with what I think of when someone says neurotic.......

I'm inclined to say no.

I do think that everyone has someone else out there that they could be compatible with, but if a guy who's "neurotic" or stuck in a rigid way of thinking somehow ended up with a girl who doesn't want to fit those stereotypes end up together, and if they're having problems because if his beliefs I don't think there's an easy way to save that relationship.

"Overy?" Ovary?

If someone had the issues exhibited in this forum, that would be a big thumbs down.

Some of these guys sound absolutely terrified of women, which certainly bodes ill for them having a functional relationship with one. Most women can accept a little bit of nervousness because there's a lot about dating that's awkward, but if she has to coax him out into the open like a frightened rabbit, that's going to be a problem. It's not as if just talking to a woman means he's got a girlfriend and everything else will take care of itself.

I was going to say if a dude has ovaries, he's probably not a guy.

Dang, I came back too late to correct the title! Oh well, it will just have to be a filter .

I'm serious with this question, though -- this forum has taught me that many more men have these psych issues than I ever imagined, in this day and age. And someone must date them.

So, women, how do you do it?
