>>>>>I've only been adored by women I don't particularly care for.<<<<<

"I wouldn't join a club that would have me for a member"?

>>>>>There is something canine, and also something thoroughly unrealistic, about adoration. Most people who adore others endow the adored one in their minds with qualities that are pretty thoroughly imaginary; it is typical of human nature that when the self-deception becomes clear, the adorer gets irritated with the adoree for not living up to the fantasy, rather than recognizing that the fantasy was never real to begin with.<<<<<<

I don't deny this seems to be the case in real life, in fact it is well said. The question assumed that the adoration would be pleasing.

>>>>>I would rather be liked for what I am than adored for what I am not.<<<<<

Well, the question, to put it bluntly, was, would you rather f*** a woman whom you adore, but only loves you, or a woman who adores you, but you only love.
