Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I’m surprised at how self-centered have become.

    I used to believe in love. After getting my heart broken so many times, I’ve realized that men, gay or straight, aren’t built for that, so I no longer expect anything other than a temporary connection that will lead to sex and then stop. So fuck it, I only want sex now. I’ve been alone, and I can stay alone.

      It might help to lean that some ≠ all. I mean, let be honest; there are hundreds of millions of men, both gay and straight- that are in healthy monogamous relationships across the globe. And while our anecdotal experience may sometimes be a valid cause, it’s not invitation to suspend belief that there may be exceptions to our personal experience.

      Just, try your best to give him time and be patient, he’s making his way to you. I promise.
