It can be much easier to fall in love with one’s fantasy than with a flesh and blood person. For some, their major satisfaction comes through fantasy, even when they are with someone real. For others, that filmy shadow between fantasy and reality can be very hard to detect. Some men impose their fantasies upon real women, others refuse to have on-going contact with a woman in order to maintain her status as a fantasy lover, forever enshrined in their minds and hearts. Although men who prefer fantasy over reality seem to love women, the real women they encounter may forever be strangers to them.
