Mine was, I love you, I love every little detail about you, and I want to be your man, I want you to be my friend, my partner and the mother of my children because you're the most beautiful and genuine person I have met.

Another grand confession was, I fell hard for you and I want to do nothing and everything with you and wash away your tiredness and pain everyday ( from another person) who said all these grand things but never actually followed through and left because he got scared. Which is to say is that I have a hard time believing confessions because actions speak louder than words but they're beautiful 🥹 I cried each time

I know that for some, sex is very intimate experience, like love making and being vulnerable together. Did you ever feel totally in love with someone through sex and it turned out that you were truly compatible?

So I was speaking to a guy from bumble and we were flirting and speaking sexually then he sent me his ex-girlfriend's asshole when they were doing anal, her face is blurred but he was like that's how I like it and I got turned off because he sent that picture. Isn't that weird? Like that's something private. I don't want to meet him anymore it's disgusting behavior . Okii I blocked him.

I am tight on budget, have a few spare days and I am into nature, architecture and good food.

So I know that when one is clinically depressed, they just feel that something broke inside them. That life has become a thick thick gray fog that just tortures and suffocates them. You feel that you will never feel better with every ounce of your being and you believe it. It's like when people say you will feel differently you just shrug. Did you actually feel that you will never ever ever love life again and then you were proved wrong?

I am mostly scared, lost, anxious and have no idea what the hell I am doing but I keep showing up. Meanwhile so many people seem to have a plan, a direction, conviction and dreams.

I noticed that it seems few people actually want to build a relationship. It's like people are seeing each other as numbers, thank you ~next kind of thing. But more so than that, I feel like a lot of people just don't put effort on their profile. I find it really weird. So many people have one word descriptions and are flexing their bodies or posting very polished pictures of themselves

This is a vulnerable one. Love is not something you can force . It's beautiful and precious and one of the gifts of life. and I get the whole focus on yourself, enjoy your life, be the one for yourself but sometimes my heart literally aches for my person. A person I don't know potentially exists or not and I hate that it hurts so much not having this intimacy. My whole mind, body and heart crave it so much and it's getting more intense and it's genuinely difficult.

Men who used to love the loud city and vibrant life, but moved to a much quieter town and area what happened?

I used to loooove the city but lately I get nothing but overwhelm from traffic, the lack of nature and how congested everyone is. I've been going to this very very small beach town that literally has nothing but a beach and a supermarket and I have felt insanely better. It's so unlike me I usually love me a crazy upbeat city with so much happening but everyday I have been to sit and watch the sunset by the sand meant more than any cafe or "outing" I did recently. I have been feeling this way for a good two years

Edit :For the record I live in Cairo which is as lively as a city gets 24/7 and as friendly as locals get but nature is being urbanized (I just love nature it's like water and food to me) and I am suffocating through all that concrete, there is crazy crazy traffic I spent 1 hour + everyday to get to uni back and forth and it is so extremely heavily populated and polluted at the moment. And since everything is becoming privatized and public spaces are turned into coffee shops and buildings we don't have many open public spaces nor nature to just be with consuming consuming consuming

I feel like I am missing out and that I am having uncomfortable withdrawal feels. Maybe it is an initial feeling? How was it ?

I'm 25F, and I've had experiences with a few guys I was friends with that felt like real emotional intimacy — deep conversations, real vulnerability, the kind of closeness that made me feel truly seen. It didn't feel purely physical in the moment; it felt like connection.

But afterward if things developed sexually and was super intimate from their side and mine too, that closeness would vanish. No follow-up, no continuation of that emotional thread — just distance, like the "intimacy" was only ever a means to something physical, not something they actually valued for its own sake.

I'm not looking for "some guys are like that, some aren't." I want to hear from men who've been on either side of this: was there a moment you realized what you thought was emotional closeness with someone was really just them wanting sex? Or, if you've been the one someone accused of that — what did it actually feel like from your side? What happened, and how did it change how you approach intimacy now?
