What and why it makes a woman feel the need to use men as toys and never in a real relationship?

Because they can.

Simple as that.

OK, I actually have no idea at all. Readers thoughts?

I usually strip out spam comments, but this one made me smile and seemed appropriate.

Aww, I'm guessing someone's been burned. There are several explanations.

The first is a simple miscommunication and expectations. He might have been looking for something serious and she wasn't and this didn't become clear until later.

The second is less forgiving. She's severely lacking in empathy and doesn't consider how her actions affect the person (or people she's) she's in a relationship with. When you don't care the feelings of others, and seek your own satisfaction, it's selfishness.

There might be other reasons, but I'd need to know more details.

It's not just a 'women use men as toys' ordeal because come on, men pull the same crap with women. It's all in who the person is. Erin hit the nail on the head with this one, and by the lack of details and straight to the point angst you posted, I'm assuming that meeting all the wrong women is an ongoing disappointment in your dating life. If you don't want to be a doormat, then don't. We only get treated as we allow others to treat us. You want a good woman and a real relationship, then expect nothing less, and don't settle for less. Just as women will be told after being taken advantage of by some jerk that there are plenty of REAL good men out there, same goes in your position; there are plenty of good women out there.

That would never happen to me, I'm too damned hideous for that!

Dude (OP), shut up and stop bragging!! You're superior to 95% of the male population, yet you whine like a little boy! Boohoo, no sympathy from me.

For me, it's an issue of self esteem. I think there is no way this great guy likes me, he must be using me for some reason or he must be desperate or bored. So I put my walls up. I'll have fun with him and match his enthusiasm when he kisses me or talks to me, but I won't let myself get emotionally invested. Then comes the time when I realize he was serious and I freak and run. I'm not unfeeling. In fact I'm hurting. But that doesn't excuse the fact that I leave a trail of crushed and confused men behind me. Sorry guys, really.

Mary

agreed. I think a lot of women do this...they have been hurt in the past...so they proceed with extreme caution...and then when they realize that he was actually genuine...they feel their walls come tumbling down and they don't know where to go...so the fight or flight kicks in...

I'm actually in this exact situation. I have been "dating" (by that I mean having sex with on a regular basis and that's pretty much it) for about 2 months. I'm insanely attracted to him and to be honest can't keep my pants on when I' with him. He seems OK with that. But I am starting to wonder what the deal is and frankly I'm terrified to ask. I like him and want to spend time with him outside of his bedroom but I'm so afraid he doesn't give a crap about me I can't bring myself to ask. And frankly, he is not the most talkative of guys anyway. I don't know what to do about so I let him keep thinking I'm just "using" him. What else should I do?

Sorry, meant to reply to you the first time, and totally forgot to give you advice:

You have not been dating that guy. (by that I mean having sex with on a regular basis and that's pretty much it) is typically defined using another word, starts with an f and ends with ing.

Dating would imply that you had some idea about how he feels about you and spending time outside the bedroom.

Advice: Either speak up and tell him what you want or end the relationship. Likely, the relationship is ending either way, but there is a slim chance that he may be willing to make you more than his f-buddy.

My bf told me once, he doesnt consider it dating unless is he paying ie buying dinner and such. If you dont want to have the conversations, go about it a different way. Maybe suggest doing something outside of the bedroom, see what his reaction is. If he gives you excuses, you know how he feels. BUT, if you dont do anything, you will never know.

There really is no explanation. Some woman use men for money just like some men use women for sex. Its a perfect relationship when those two come together, perfect for everyone else that is.

You can try and come up with excuses, but at the end of the day, they do it because they know they can.

Erin really nailed it. Both men and women do this to each other. Other reasons.. A lot of times I've noticed that my guy friends who are wonderful great guys and my three brothers get treated like dirt by girls and the reason is always the same.. they don't want to date the girl who's maybe a 5 or lower on the looks scale but want to go after the girls that look like playmates. They want to go after the"hot girl" even after the hot girl tells them up front that they want a man with money, a nice car etc etc..

Im not saying all hot women are like this but there are a lot of them that are. The girls who are the nice girls tend to get overlooked all because they ain't so pretty to look at. But as I tell my brothers.. us "not so hot chicks" got more going for us; we know we have to have good personalities to make up for our lack of looks, we don't tend to have great self-esteem so we're not going to think anyone else wants us so you have no worries we'll cheat on you, we tend to be the girls that are flattered by attention and we don't care if you dont have a big bank account we just feel lucky to have somone who wants us. There's an old song my dad used to love that goes something like this.."if you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife, so from my personal point of view get an ugly girl to marry you."

people act according to what they think they are worth, plain and simple. if women use men as nothing more than playthings, its because somewhere they believe they are nothing more than a plaything themselves. you ask for half a loaf thats what you're going to get. if you're dating someone thats doing that, or there's a trend in your experiences like that, you need a few self esteem points. dont engage with people for extended periods if they dont take you seriously, plain and simple. when you teach them its ok to be treated like a plaything, they do. people dont change with time, if you settle for being treated less than what you are worth, that's what you are going to end up with. less than what you are worth.

OK I need to clarify. We are definitely not dating. At first I didn't want to date him. He WAS my toy. In the interest of full disclosure I've got 5 years on him, WAY more money, was getting out of a shitty marriage, and am very attractive. Plus I have a ridiculous schedule that isn't conducive to a relationship right now. At first we did go out. I wasn't really looking for that but I felt like I should make a little effort. But it didn't take long for me to realize the sex was insanely good and as it's gone on I really don't want to do anything else. Well, I do but the second I'm with him I can't think straight. Given that he has a penis he doesn't seem overly concerned with this but the other day he implied that I "Didn't want to go out with him". Now I'm starting to feel bad. I do like him. I just am in love with his dick. I'm afraid I hurt him somewhere along the way and now I can't go anywhere with it. How this helps the original post I don't know. In my situation, I almost wish he would tell me to go to hell. Then maybe I could concentrate.

He's a man, he can either stand up for himself or choose to walk away. He likes it too, or, he's not man enough to say no. Either way, his weakness is your gain, his problem, not yours. If he gets hurt, its his own fault, he clearly knew what you are after, he simply didn't want to see it. You have nothing to feel guilty about, you aren't doing anything wrong.

user-pic

If he wants more than just sex and she is only hurting him by continuing to be with him, knowing this if she has any feelings for him - she should do him a favor and walk away. Otherwise she is toying with him. And vice versa if the roles were reversed.

user-pic

Probably because they see guys as players who care about nothing but the sex and think that they wouldn't mind if we do it back. This is from a woman's perspective, and though I am not faultless, I do not do this. It is simply what I can assume based upon my own guilty actions and thoughts about men.

There is definitly self-esteem issues going on. Not that I am complaining, but I am attractive and put a lot of effort into staying that way and that is by far the no. 1 thing men have to say about me (that I'm "sexy"). When I was married it was my job to look good and perform whatever sex act my husband thought of that day every night. That was by far more importnant than anything else I might bring to the table. Including 2 awesome kids. So honestly, I have gone into things with the understanding that A) This guy likes me because of how I look, and B) At this point I'm a pro at most things (in the bedroom) so why not just do it instead of pretending anything else is going on. As I type this I know it's a whole bucketful of crazy but that doesn't change the fact that I am afraid to expect anything else from my relationships with men. That is why "woman feel the need to use men as toys and never in a real relationship?" At least in my case. Feel better? I didn't think so.
