If you are a girl, looking for a guy and require an emotional attachment from him, then please don't choose a guy who hunts. Just a wild speculation but I'm confident I'm on to something here.
Please follow my thought.
I base this consideration on my personal experience and now looking back into many years of relationships. One thing in common with the men who've seemed less emotionally attached are the men who've hunted.
What's the deal with a hunter? I'll tell you the deal.
Hunters learn at an early age by instruction of an elder to suck it up. Naturally, kids love animals but to hunt you have to bury that love, the empathetic love down deep in the back of the heart.
Why?
Well, it is one thing to be able to look into the eye of a deer through a scope of a rifle and pull the trigger, 50-100 yards away. If the gunman looks too long or hesitates in any way, he will not shoot. He's looked too long and an emotional attachment has spoken and won the hunter's heart. In order to be a successful shooter, you must spot, set your sites and shoot without hesitation.
That is the first part, there's another.
The next part is the hard part, the true test to the hunter's heart.
The hunter must confront the dead animal. He loads the animal onto his truck bed and then transports it to the skinning location. He hangs it by it's rear end. He cuts its throat and drains the blood from the animal. He uses a knife and skins the animal, pulling every piece of skin off its body, exposing the underneath muscle, ligaments and bones and even more blood. He proceeds to cut the animal into bits for consumption. He'll even remove the head and save it as a trophy.
This isn't a natural, easy task. Any boy learning to hunt had to learn how to bury the emotion that makes you sick to read about the process.
Mentally, put yourself at the side of the hunter and take the knife from his hands to do this task on your own, or mentally, stand by his side and watch as the hunter does it.
Think about your ability to hunt in the way I've described and compare it to the emotions of love for your spouse/partner.
As I compare my experiences with the hunter I've described and the emotional attachment received from past boyfriends, it becomes clear to me why they can seem emotionally disconnected, they're rough in the heart and calloused seeming.
I believe when the child learning to hunt buried the emotional attachment to animals, he learned to bury it in every way; he hardened his heart.
This doesn't mean the hunter doesn't love or that he won't love but I do believe the emotional nurturing from him will be lacking. He will not cry when you break up with him, he's learned how to be hardened to hurt.
