"They Only Want One Thing" Comic

This actually reminds me a lot of this meme. It’s darkly funny to me that society often paints men with the brushstroke of being sex deviants but also derides romantic men as unmanly or faking it. Meanwhile society is getting more and more sex obsessed. I always felt MORE romantic and “sensitive” than the woman I talked to, who seemed to have a very callous attitude towards sex.

To be fair I’m sure many women would say this about men as well, but one has to ask: if you only attract men that care about sex, what does that say about you? Are you not offering something more? Or are you only attracted to the type of man that only wants sex?

Also just wanted to say that I think memes can actually be an effective way to expose uncomfortable truths using humor and we should make more of them.

It’s just biology that males are made to have a slightly higher sex drive (to increase chances of offspring by causing males to want to mate often). Even though women love sex too this slight imbalance causes it to seem like a huge difference, especially in most societies where women are taught to pretend to not want to have sex as much as they really might like while men are taught to (jokingly, or not) act like they always want sex and always think about sex.

In reality almost everyone loves sex, and almost everyone loves to cuddle too.

"Men only want sex! It's so dirty! It's so degrading! It's so superficial! It's so different from us tender, wise, balanced women! And the worst thing is: I want to be a slut and I'm not allowed to!"

Ah yes. This is a favourite of mine.

Women who say this are talking from their genuine experiences.

But here's the thing... if the only interesting or useful thing about you is that you are moderately attractive...

Well... it would be like if a guy at a hot dog cart complained that people just want hot dogs and soda.

That's what you're putting out there! Start selling something else and maybe you'll get attention from different people?

I do really want cuddling to be fair.

What does everyone think of the stereotype that men only want sex?

It's insulting to both men and sex.
