you guys are hilarious, really.
And who says it's females who are clingy?? I once dated this guy who was fucking CLINGY as hell.
and man, it annoyed the hell out of me.
Clingness is NOT a good thing... it's usually a sign of insecurity. The insecurity that they might not be good enough for anybody, or that the person they want to be with might leave them, etc. or even the fear that if they don't spend enough time talking or hanging out with their loved one, their loved one might lose interest in them and just eventually abandon them.
So they end up overdoing a lot of things.
clingy females and males may be desperate enough for sex so I suppose for certain people this might be a good thing if they're only looking for a good time and want to exploit that.
But for those who want a more serious relationship... well, this isn't exactly a good trait to have in an relationship... it basically means that the other person isn't secure in the relationship, much less that they trust you.
and serious relationships are supposed to be all about trust and love.
