When you were a teenager, did you think that attraction was symmetrical?

That's a good question, something I don't think I really considered at the time. I will say that I had spent years hearing women complain about how men only thought about sex, never wanted to just cuddle or enjoy each other's company, etc. That made an impression on me. So by the time I finally got a girlfriend, I was under the impression that girls weren't especially interested in the physical aspects of a relationship. My first girlfriend proceeded to dump me because I wasn't physical enough for her, and she didn't bother to mention this until the day she dumped me. After some more trial and error, and subsequent failure, I finally concluded that I simply didn't understand the way other peoples' brains work. And I still haven't figured that out.
Trying to please women based on what they say is for losers. Either you have what they want (generally what they can see from across the room) or you are wasting your time!

I learned that shortly after high school, when I realized a lot of people seem to only think they know what they want.
who the **** doesn't like pie?! if a chick came up to me and offered me a pie, any pie, could be blueberry or cherry or pecan or pumpkin or sweet potato, she'd be getting a call asking for a date posthaste.
As for me, I stopped wondering what guys wanted a while back and started telling them what I wanted, instead. Worked fine for a while...until they eventually disappeared .
Anyway, when I was say 15 and still in high school, I had the image that girls liked boys the same way boys liked girls. I suppose I vaguely had the idea that men were supposed to be more horny, but I thought women were just as turned on by men as men were by women, at least in the physical sense.
i can relate. i went to the same small town private school for 13 years; in certain school environments you're pressured hard as a kid to accept the idea that men and women are equal, and to ignore or marginalize any differences. i think it screws boys up in the head.

I "repped" you on this. Awesome and accurate. This is how it works, at least to get things kicked off. I'm sure the lying "bleeding hearts" will show up sooner or later and say "oh, no, you have to get to know someone first..." NOT.

Reading some women putting down men and male bodies, calling them 'ugly', telling them they shouldn't be showing off their bodies. Someone said it sounded more like male homophobes. One girl even said while she was straight she preferred female strippers. I mean wtf? I hope these girls wear sort of symbols on their foreheads so I can stay away from them.
Do you mean reciprocal? Because symmetrical means something like mirror of shape along an axis.
