Thanks to Freud I've been able to assess why I was attracted to distant, insecure, flirtatious, easy, and narcissistic women.
You didn't need to study Freud to figure out why you're dissatisfied with your love life. You could've come here, where someone would've gently (or not) reminded you that you, yourself, are insecure and narcissistic to the point of delusional hysteria, which is a concept that I have coined 'specially for you.
Also, Pray was merely pointing out that you'd want to tread carefully when reading Freud due to the criticisms that psychoanalysis has faced over the last half century or so. It was a good point. But then you came back shrieking about how how Pray herself must be deluded and insecure (let's face it: that's what you really mean when you squawk that a woman is "defensive and emotional," isn't it? You've no other way to frame your (mis)understanding of those of the female persuasion). And that is precisely what people DO when they're deluded and insecure.
Merry Christmas, Jimbo. I trust you'll be alone again (unless you have a mother you can cuddle up to on Christmas morning)? Is Mummy distant and flirtatious, Jimmy? Does Mummy frame your view of womanhood? You've already admitted that you have these "Mommy Issues" (which is probably why no half-way decent woman will touch you). Are you afraid that Mummy's going to be canoodling up to some other guy this Christmas, rather than you, while you sit in your bedroom, forty years of age, sculling a bottle of egg nog and crying again?
I'm not going to wait for you to come back and start screeching non-coherently, Jimbo. Your response to the question was well-thought out. I disagree with it but you put in some time and effort for once. Quit while you're ahead (well, while you're not trailing miserably behind for once, at least).
