I'm in the process of choosing a therapist and for some reason I'm not liking the male options. I think I might have trouble opening up to a dude. And God forbid I actually cry in front of him. Eeeeww.

So I thought I'd pick a female, but then I remembered hearing that it's common for a patient to fall in love with their therapist.

That sounds like a problem I don't need, especially as a married man.

So now I'm trying to find an old ugly female therapist. But it's hard because I have low standards. Which is probably something I should talk about in therapy.

And I know I'm supposed to be completely honest in these sessions, but what if she asks why I chose her? I can't say "it's because you're ugly"

I think I'm doomed
 
I'm not but it's been on my mind more and more the past few years.
 
I picked an older guy. He was an outdoorsman and came off more as an athlete than academic. We quickly clicked and he helped me change my life. Sorry for the serious post, but get someone you are comfortable with. Best of luck.

I thought that said, "I picked up an older guy" and questions were going to be asked...
 
I thought about doing therapy but decided not to. I had the same thought as you though that it had to be a female. I was single at the time so I wouldn't have cared if we fell in love.

Nah man you don't want to fall in love with your therapist. If she loved you back then her professional reputation would be shot, and you'd always respect her a little less for violating ethical standards.

But the more likely scenario is that she just shoots you down because she's not risking her career, and now you have all the pain of loving someone you can't have.

Well to be clear when I say "fall in love" I mean more that I would be fine banging her. I could never fully trust someone in a relationship that started that way honestly. I think it's insanely unethical and kind of disgusting IMO at least.
