With the very limited relationship (both real and imaginary) that I have, I would have to say that feelings tend to polarise or go in more rough jagged ups and downs than without them where it would be more of a straight constant line. Again, I'm in such a way that I can be content with relatively little and have an excellent fuel economy as far as that's concerned.
For example, you may get positive intimate moments which punctuates the relationship experience, but then you wonder if she is really into you (and possibly she wonders that too), and if there is a dissapointment at realizing one party isn't really into the other party then it leads to allot of bad feelings.
So, I think as a net function it is the same with women or without it, except one is more of a straight line and the other is lines which are jagging all over the place. I would still like to get really intimate with a woman at some point in my life though.
But I like in terms of music - some female musical artists make me feel good when I listen to them, notibly Jaci Valesquez, Michelle Tumes and Enya, and Sarah McGlaughlin, since it stands to reason they are women artists, and I feel happy listening to them, then yeah, I think that point would stand there.
I also have some limited friendships with a girl and it feels good that they call me or invite me to go to her coffee shop (even if she is taken), yeah, it makes me feel good to.
So, I think women can make me feel happy, especially when it's all in my mind.
