This.

Even if it’s not respect, men are pretty simple in their thinking. There are the women they’d like to bang and the ones they love. Two totally different categories. You need at least a month of interaction to figure out which category you are in, if you care.

It's not that.men don't respect you if you sleep with them quickly. It's more that it suggests that the woman doesn't really care who she sleeps with and therefore the prospects of.establishing a stable committed relationship is not very likely.

Guy here, and this is not true for me or anyone else I know.

What men say amongst each other and how they act around and treat women are two very totally different things—remember this, OP!

Sometimes a guy will value very much a woman who enjoys sex and has no hang ups about it and wants it with him. If he doesn’t, he has hang ups about sex himself/was taught to view it as dirty/sinful/shameful in some way. Who needs that anyway.

Wtf? This is what we're dealing with gents...

I'm a woman and definitely do not agree with the above statement. It's some F-ed up, old way of thinking. I pay for my own stuff on dates. I figured if he likes my company it's doesn't matter who pays.

Not really. If you don’t want to “deal” with that attitude, just don’t spend money on a woman. Like, lots of men are jerks and women can just avoid those ones rather than suffering through it.

I've noticed that with the guys I decide to wait to have sex with, they end up falling for me hard. The guys I had sex with on date #3/4, not so much.

This is contrary to advice I've received from WOMEN, stating that no guy will commit without first having sex with you to see if you're compatible, and that if he doesn't get it after a few dates, he'll move on.

So, which is it, in your opinion?

Women who say this to other women do so to justify their own decisions to sleep with men quickly.

You should have sex with a man when YOU want to, not in a desperate bid to keep him around.

I like to date men for several months and agree to exclusivity before having sex. I’ve never had anyone bail because of this.

I’m surprised you got that advice from women. I’d almost think they were trying to sabotage you, tbh.

I am a fan of having sex whenever feels right to you, and if a guy doesn’t respect you or loses interest in you after sex, it wasn’t meant to be. But generally speaking men like the chase and if they get what they want too easily they value it less.

Something to consider is how you act after sex though. If you still act like you’re a prize and not like sex means you expect something from them, there is still something for them to pursue, if that makes sense.
