If you aren't willing to be patient enough to wait that out or, don't have the social skills to draw me out a bit, which can move things along, then, that's fine, we are incompatible and I will send you on your way.

That doesn't mean I think I'm special or that I'm being a princess. It means I know what it takes for me to fully enjoy sex with someone and I figure most good guys prefer someone who is into it rather than someone who is swallowing down nerves. I also don't think someone who wants sex soon is wrong either--we all have different comfort levels and preferences. But, everyone is entitled to them without someone making ridiculous assumptions about it.

You're entitled to your preferences but it's silly to make "drawing you out" someone else's job. If you want to come out, come out. If not, it's not someone else's burden to pull you out.

PP said she wants someone with social skills who is capable of drawing her out. Clearly, great social skills is high on her list. Clearly, you are not a fit for that. But absolutely NOTHING wrong with that being on her list.

I'm clearly not a fit for that since I"m female and I'm not into women. Perhaps it's a semantic difference and that's not what she meant. What I meant was that it's silly to play a princess in a high tower who is waiting for someone capable of luring her out. If you have a shell, you should work on not having a shell, not put a burden on someone to draw you out of it. It's one thing if you don't like someone and just not interested. But you shouldn't depend on someone to pull out the best of you. You should be the best of you already.

And even if women do decide to "play hard to get" it's only because men insult women who are "loose" and call them all sorts of nasty names I wont repeat here. So, men... you've made your bed. Deal with it.

Women are way worse to other women about slut-shaming than men are.

Any many who put up with your ridiculous demands is a loser.

He doesn't care what you think.

I'm sure he was banging other women while waiting for me. I'm the one he married.

Interesting. You don't care that he was sleeping with other women while courting you. Did you have a guy on the side, or are you just low drive (or were you self servicing)?

Why would I care? I was looking to marry, not to date ad nauseam. We run on parallel lines.

So no answer regarding your own sex life and drive?

It's irrelevant. My genitals report to me, I don't report to them. They are not allowed to make decisions for me.

So, low sex drive masquerading as superiority. Got it.
