It really does feel that men are simply not wanted anymore and are regarded as being social obsolescent even though men do the large majority of the physical work out there.
To whom?
I've been reading up on women losing their libido. Age seems to have something to do with it. However, there is a growing number of women that do not want to be touched any longer. Men have to live with this, or seek divorce, or start cheating, to have interaction the way they need it. Women can lose that emotion. Seems like they would find you someone else and look the other way, but that is no answer.
I like having women around. If men are simply not wanted anymore? Something is wrong, either with reality or feelings. Dogs were always my best friends, though. We didn't want anything from anybody, just to spend time together.
Mind you, I have been graced with the presence of some fine women in my life. Even at younger ages, my time here on earth is better because of interaction with them. They were the few, but I have lived in a relatively small world all my life. When I can get a smile out of one of them, I feel so much better to have helped them to smile. Nothing like watching them light up.
How social are we? I'm not very social at all. I try to be within my limits. I don't dress out as a social bumble bee or hummingbird. I do not hang out where large groups of people are much. My social life has always been mostly secretive and with a low profile. Don't count a male infj in such a way. I'm really not a social being, but am trying to make new friends. It is difficult with such age differences. I am wanted, but would not try to open up to a woman that thought I was not wanted any longer. So it goes, sometimes we get what we deserve instead of trying to make life better. Yes, I took offense with this, but know it was not personal. I'm married and enjoy talking with my wife very much.
I especially love listening about her happy moments as a child. She loves animals, and always had some kind of pet before her Dad would make it ready as food. She wouldn't eat meat for weeks. So sad.
We all need each other to lean on, as the song went.
