I'm a man, 28. I've known there was something wrong with my idealistic approach to relationships with women for a long time now. I'm not interested in her? She's super into me. I become interested? She loses interest. I'm really into them? Not a chance in hell. 2 years ago, I had a failed early-stage relationship that basically forced my eyes to take in reality. Since then I've been wrestling with what's true and what's overblown and just plain misogeny.

Here's the thing: I want a healthy relationship with women. I'm naturally into the idea of a loving relationship based on respect and hot sex and monogamy. How do I marry the painful reality of the relationship between the sexes with my own desire to find an actual snowflake and have a sweet life with her?
