[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely shocking that women don't want to get with some of the mouth-breathers on this thread.  :roll:

Women are PEOPLE, and respond well to being talked to like fully-formed adults. Consent is sexy. Assumptions, arbitrary timelines for physical interactions, and stupid headgames aren't.[/quote]

So, what you're saying is that a man who dates a woman should not make the foolish assumption that she agreed to the date in the first place because she was sexually interested in him?

Well what is it then?  The free dinner?  Why are these women bothering to date at all if they don't want to have sex with men?

We are talking about adults in their 20s and 30s, right?  You mean these women will actually look at an online profile and set up a date with a guy they have no sexual interest in?  Given that women probably have far more choices online of who to pick them men do, it seems unbelievable.

Now the response will be something like:  "But the woman doesn't HAVE to have sex with the man just because she's dating him!!!"  No, she certainly doesn't, and he certainly has no obligation to continue dating someone who doesn't want to have sex with him.  Because all heterosexual males date with the expectation that it will lead to sex.  Otherwise why the hell bother?[/quote]
It has nothing to do with a free dinner. You can easily go on a date with a man you thought was attractive and find that his pictures were old or inaccurate or he's just an asshole or he says things during the date that let you know he is definitely not a good match for you. She you have sex with him anyway, because, date? Hell no! Dates are a way to get to know people, to see if any initial interest you may have had was well founded. Often, it's not. [/quote]
