My best friend since 2nd grade (until I was 27 or so) and the best man at my wedding, and a Marine......decided to make the change. We don't talk anymore, because, well, he's nuts!!!!!
This shit has NOTHING to do with reality. He loved chicks just like the rest of us guys. He was never very successful with women though. He just had a really hard time finding relationships. When he finally found a chick that would give him the time of day, he immediately married her and moved away. She was a complete ***** and nut job. They divorced not long after.
He married again. I don't know anything about that one because he had moved away and we were no longer in touch.
After that one failed, he decided to make the change. Complete nonsense.
