An interesting question... What do both of you think would happen in this scenario? If the dating roles were truly 50 50...ie women approach as much as men and no entitlement no expectations... Would they be taken advantage of? Maybe not by yourself but by most other men? Like if a chick who expects to be treated special says fuck it I'll drop my standards and just date.. Once I like him I'll sleep with him.. Would guys be mature enough to appreciate that? My belief is no. It's kinda fucked up but i can kinda see why these games are played.. The chick who fucks consistently on the first date.. The next date the same amazing guy just wants to fuck. No dinner no movies no drinks no fun. The next date the same. Then the same guy fucking her will drop her for the chick who expects dinners.
This is the problem I've encountered on a few occasions when I was not demanding and trying to be an equal.
It's OK to blow her off, cancel dates, not return her calls, take her to sleazy bars, or not take her on any dates whatsoever and just do the Netflix, not clean the apartment, not shower, not change the bed sheets, not walk her home at 1 AM, hell, she'll be okay with that!
I was 'seeing' a man; first date he tried to impress me dressing nicely and a nice lounge. I gave him the hint that hey, you don't have to do all that. I was doing the 50/50, paying my share, doing the equal effort, understanding, giving him chances when he acted like an ass. Well, I got stepped all over. He'd appear and disappear when he felt like it all the while saying he's sorry (and not doing anything to show for it asides for bedroom action). He wasn't.
But his ex, oh, she was a bitch that didn't give him the time of day, acting rude, selfish, ignoring him for months on end, not answering his messages (but he continued to text!), he chased her left to right, even defending her bad attitude!
So what is a girl to do? So yeah, next time a man is interested in me, I do want him to put in the time, effort and money.
