I think alot of people are mistaken about this site and they should be in the sexual ads of it all. Sometimes men and women think low of themselves and have to somehow "fix" the problem. I know in a couple of situations I have been in, I didn't think the person wanted just that and its hard to tell. U have to just play the game and hope for a homerun. Best of Luck

^^^ If you're dating someone, there's a 99.9% chance they're hoping for sex sooner or later.

After all, when was the last time you heard of people dating because they wanted to stay *celibate*?

It is completely naive to think someone gonna only want to date you because you have a horse or you're interested in shopping...

That's the problem with any woman posting anything having to do with sex and not wanting it on a first date, or feeling offended that smeone came on too strong, in these Forums, at least as far as I can tell. There are men who jump at the chance to vent their frustrations and take them all out on her. All the women they dated and didn't get sex with, all the anger they feel, gets dumped on whoever expresses their opinion that differs from theirs. That's the way this seems to have turned out. No real effort or interest in actually understanding the original post or relating to it or empathizing with it... just an opportunity to bash and promote their manliness which is obviously frustrated or they wouldn't be here posting power trips on others, they'd be doing what they obviously know how to do best... be out there having sex. What's it to them, if they're getting it, if some poor girl feels put upon by the cads who want nothing but that? Only makes you fellas less appealing, not more, but please don't respond to me, as I'm sure you don't care what I think and it seems you're big and older bullies just enjoying pounding a younger girl's fragile emotions into the ground. Shame on you.

Huh..? You lost me. Who is bullying her..? Personally, I'd rather NOT have sex on a first date as there are too many ways to get...uh...'sick' in this world. You don't know whom you're dealing with from one date. There are as many freaky, sex fiend females as there are males. See . .this is what I don't like.. This lifetime channel syndrome that many females have. They jump at the first opportunity to paint us all with one brush and in a negative way. There are as many men haters and users out there as there are men who use and abuse women... Get off of the soapbox b4 you fall...

I'm not soapboxing. I'm responding to a few particular people who have responded to this thread and if you read the whole thread, every page and post, you'd know, and you knew me and all my posts you'd know I'm no soapboxer or negative person, only in response to others who are. Just had to express this particular feeling on this one for specific reasons. Good for you for not being like "the others" and I'm not saying all people are any particular way. Unless you want to join them and their bandwagon and really are one of them.

Most people do. Male or female. Your date may not have acted in the correct manner but, We are sexual beings. It is natural. It is enjoyable.

I don't think most people think about sex ALL the time, and even if they think about it A LOT, and they have dating on their profile, how many people would want to hear that a person who was expressing interest let them know they had sex with someone else last night and want to have it with you the next night? I don't think most people would respond positively to that, which was in the original post.

^^^Yes it is naive for some to think that dating is anything but this... an exploration of the possibility of sexual compatibility

I go on dates with one expressed purpose in mind, to understand if there is a possibility of sexual relationship between me and the guy---and this is answered without sex playing a part. On a first date, I'm looking to have reached an answer to one simple but truly pivotal question, "Could I kiss this man?"

If the answer is no, then 'dating' is no longer a valid concept for us---friendship may still be in the offing but dating is no longer possible.

For me, agreeing to a date indicates that a bare minimum that there is sexual possibility there. The first meeting or so establishing my interest and whether or not I feel it is reciprocated. Continued dating now assumes and recognizes the mutual interest in a developing dating relationship and takes and explores this dating/sexual relationship over time and with personality nuances coming into play. At no time am I suggesting when sex is going to happen; I'm merely suggesting that dating establishes baseline sexual interest and that possibility must be out there and on the table from the start in order to call the exploration 'dating'---which is inherently a relationship exploring sexual compatibility.

IMO sex is a necessary part of the desire to be fully honest and functional in a relationship. An initial meeting and first date usually will be enough to decide if there is a physical as well as intellectual interest from both parties. Everything else should be a natural progression. Adhereing to artifical time and behavior mores is self-defeating.

It's nice to see someone who is consistant in attitude and direction. Comparing this post to excerpts form SagMan4U's profile, I see an honset guy who is truely interested in real relationship. Very refreshing!


.....Like I previously posted, it doesn't take 3 months to get "to know" somebody. And as far as getting a friend with benefits, well that would defeat the whole purpose and definition of what I'm in search of. ONE woman.




Well I'm looking for a woman who enjoys being with a man who is funny, loving, caring, romantic, and likes his man to be monogamous and honest. ........
So if you want to laugh, be respected, be thought of, have fun, than maybe just maybe I might be the man for you.......
So, if you're really looking for a kind, caring, romantic man please drop me a line and lets see what happens. .......
Look forward in hearing from that special someone. I have all the good qualities that your looking for in a man.

than why in God's name does a woman make a guy wait so dam long to go from a platonic relationship to an intiate relationship?


Because for many women sex is much more emotional then it is physical (not that it isn't about the physical aspect at all....just that it is MORE emotional). Therefore, when a women does allow a relationship to go to that point, it's a major statement of her feelings towards the man. If the relationship then does not work out, it hurts alot more. Therefore, it's much safer to wait. Imagine you have the hot rod car, motorcycle, whatever, of your dreams........Are you gonna let a woman drive it on the 3rd date or are you going to prefer to wait to see how much you can trust her with it?

Men and women view intimacy very differently, yet few people ever take the time to try and really understand the other side.

While I can certainly appreciate what you've said here,if more women said that UPFRONT then there would likely be less issues when they are dating.
Honestly,as a guy,I'm looking for an adult relationship, w/ all that entails. If a woman is looking for something else... or looking for us to wait an extended period (read: months) or will only become intimate AFTER marriage, then I should know about that BEFORE we date.
That way I can make an informed choice.

Since this would result in a large number of women either sitting at home alone or spending waayyy too much time w/ their "girl friends" I don't foresee this level of honesty becoming the "norm" any time soon.

If the answer is no, then 'dating' is no longer a valid concept for us---friendship may still be in the offing but dating is no longer possible.

This is the conumdrum. Looks valid.
Take it one step further for validity.
On a first meet, whether in real life or from an arranged date via the computer, I can feel a "connection" many times. Simply?? It just tells me that he's attractive enough to have sex with. His eyes will tell me that he thinks the same.
The "receptive" little impulses is nature's way of telling you that you will engage in copulation with him if the conditions are right.

This business of "connection" coupled with and then I am on the way to love and relationship is self-deception. Two very different things going on here.

Choices:
1. Feel the connection and then have the sex right away if it makes you feel good. Whether you see him again? Stats and forum experience have said it is relatively a long shot.
2. Feel the connection and then go out for a few dates to get to know him...if you DON'T believe in sex with a stranger. (You simply cannot know a person in three dates. Mostly everyone is on their best behavior.)
In those three or four dates, if you can see past the pink cloud of lust, you can start to decipher some of his personality. If it is not to your liking, then your choice is a) to have sex with him anyway...or b) if you are really relationship orientated and his personality and his world stinks....tell him it's not going anywhere.
Sexual connection is not everything to descerning women, it is part of the equation of intellectual and emotional connection.

Very well put Boudacia...thanks.

When I was younger I was much less introspective about sex than I am now, and I'm sure that comes with experience!

In the case of MajesticBeauty, the OP, where the man let her know he wanted to have sex with someone else very recently, and now wants to give her a try, I think most women wouldn't be very flattered by that, and that's putting it nicely.

I have to agree with missmissy, it does seem to be the major interest on this website. Some guys are just cruising for sex and are really NOT wanting to get involved on an emotional level. As long as I live, I will not understand this. How does one have intimacy with someone and not feel a thing? I guess it's a woman's thing to care.
