Well, I'm male, and let me start by assuring you that statements that begin with "All men are..." are true about as often as statements that begin with "All women are...". I, for one, do not share this guys fetish. And that's all it is, even if he doesn't recognize it as such. And, let's face it, some people's fetishes are completely opaque to those who don't share it. Like many who have any kind of fetish, it makes them feel better to believe that "everyone" has it... less weird, less out there, more "normal". Now, as to the mindset behind the fetish? It has been my experience that the men (and women) I know who are attracted to the hunt, attracted to the conquest, are suffering from self-esteem issues. The conquest allows them to feel desireable and/or loveable... at least for a day or so. But, like eating chocolate when their body is craving salt, it never really fills the void. The significant element here is that it isn't about sex. It isn't about relationships. It's about proving to themselves that maybe they are okay after all. That's why the level of intimacy doesn't matter, and why the quality of the sex doesn't matter. All of that is beside the point. So, while I have no problem with the fetish, (as long as they are up front about it), I do see the tragedy of someone who keeps repeating the same error over and over again, missing the real point, and unable to figure out what they really need. Sincerely, HawkWolf
