No, you're right,
I've had absolutely horrific experiences...some not of my doing and some due to my own mistakes. And the scars are deep and the damage is pretty permanent.
I have to laugh at it or I'd be cryin'.
that's why i said i was sad for you, because i really did think i understood you to have had bad experiences. i guess i am lucky. i married late, but i married well and have been married for 20 years this year. never really had a bad experience with men, other than your run of the mill crap. and i have plenty of friendships with men at work and elsewhere that are not remotely sexual. all in all i think they really are pretty much like us, just hairier : )
