[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is no different from men being the one to ask women out, first ask for phone number, pay for dates, on and on.  Even the most hardcore feminists will admit to secretly wanting all of this.  Doesn't it all go back to biology and what each sex is designed for at its roots in order to continue the human race?  The man pursues and the woman accepts the best fit one in order to ensure her offspring has the best chance of survival.

There is so much about dating and relationships that we try to paint over because of the human experience and we forget that below all of this we are just animals controlled by instincts we aren't even aware of.[/quote]

I think it goes back to the idea that men aren’t ready to settle down until much later than women and perhaps the trope that the “right” woman will change his mind.  If guys in their 20’s were dating to marry and the guy saying yes to a date meant something it would be a different ballgame.  My worry today is you assume the guys are “sowing their wild oats” so a yes to a woman asking is because he wants to sleep with you and maybe has no intentions of dating you.  Him making the effort, while it doesn’t mean he isn’t also doing the same with other woman, means you have better odds than if he made zero effort.[/quote]
