2girlsnocup: We are too quick to blame ourselves when some things go wrong. Accept that some things are as they are, and look upon them as something that can be beaten as you improve yourself. See them as rungs on a ladder that gets to the top of your wall.
Soon enough, you'd be at the top of your wall and able to tear it down.

Thank you

pedro27: how big is your wall around you that youve built?


I am not sure that the wall is any different than it has ever been. I think if you asked the guys from high school they'd tell you the wall was there then too. It's not that high, or impenetrable. I think it's pretty normal to have some sort of self protection.dunno

I find that if you build the wall just the right height then many girls will try to flush you out with dogs, grenades and a sincere desire to spend time with you.

My experience is that women want to work hard to earn your trust or else they will not trust in that trust. The last thing she wants is your heart, faith and commitment easily given as this devalues her ability to inspire love. You steal a woman's own value by giving yourself away too cheaply.

If you are easily swayed in favour of her than how easy must it be to turn against her? Perhaps not so easy simply because no other women are interested, but does she want the commitment in your relationship to stem from the fact that no other woman wants you?

I'm talking about the importance of not making it too easy for a woman when I know, Pedro, that you're specifically talking about trust in relation to baggage issues. But I'm a man and we can forgive, forget and move on better(on average). Baggage and holding grudges are primarily for women although they also happen to men.

It's crazy not to have a little armour around us, a little self protection.

I used to dive in the deep end and my instinct, still, is to do that, but prefer to dip my toes in and submerge myself slowly now.

I do find, men around my own age, are hopeless cave dwellers and we women do get tired of rescuing them.

I admire a man who can deal with his past issues and at least meet half-way.
