Is it wrong to want an independent gf? I’ve only ever attracted clingy girls and I’m sorry but I do not want to text all day everyday. I’m loyal but I want us both to enjoy our days and moments we’re apart and enjoy our own things. Is this unrealistic?

You're allowed to have your own preferences for a relationship. Where it would be wrong is if you got into a relationship and expected them to change into what you want. If you attract clingy girls and don’t like them just don’t date them

it's unrealistic to be attracted to clingy girls and then want them to instantly change their personality, yes

To all those commenting I did a poor job wording this. I’m not attracted to clingy girls but the only girls interested in me are clingy. If I met a girl who wasn’t I would be much more attracted to her than a clingy girl

……Women give what they’ve received. So if in the early stages YOU check in on her or text her throughout the day and then you stopped she’s going to wonder why. Regardless of independence or clinging to you. Women like to know you care. Just state this without telling her she’s clingy or needs to be more independent. You both probably have different expectations and that’s where compromise come in. talk about it🤔

i do think it’s fair, especially early on in relationships. tho maybe this is unpopular, i think once you’re years in or married, it’s normal and expected to want to be together most of your time and enjoy having more time being with and talking to that person. idk if that’s not what you mean, i just needed to add that

No, that’s exactly what I’m interested in too but unfortunately it’s just kinda rare in young people these days

No that’s absolutely fair. I want the exact same thing

It’s fair. I don’t have the patience for clinginess or jealousy. I never have notifications on, and if someone starts panicking if I don’t respond for an hour, they we don’t really match

I ran out of typing room so I typed everything poorly, sorry. I don’t expect anyone to change I just didn’t know if it’s selfish or something to expect someone else to think the same way. Like is this and a relationship mutually exclusive I think you’d call it

Well everyone’s different, some men/women like clingy partners and other like independent, mature partners

if both people are independent like that, it's not unrealistic

i think his point is that he has met so many that he's wondering if he's wrong for not being into it.

That’s actually a fair point. I always struggle keeping people at a distance because we’re in the beginning and I don’t want to seem rude or anything so I usually match energy and end up regretting it when I’ve supported clingy behaviour Ty for your comment
