re: #20 LudwigVanQuixote

The one clear advantage that women have always had over men is that many women can easily get most men to jump through all sorts of hoops with even just a hint of a promise of sexuality. Most women have figured this out. Most (if not all) straight women have exploited this basic aspect of human hardwiring to a greater or lesser extent in their own relationships. Many exploit it so casually that they do not even notice.

Yeah…flirting is part of human nature, we all do it. Doesn’t make us all manipulative bitches. And I’d give up that one “clear” advantage if it meant I could hang out with a guy, after making it extremely clear I am not interested (Hi, my name is Sizzle, did I mention my girlfriend?, or before that just not flirting, never letting a guy pay) and inevitably having the guy say sure sure, and then spring a move. I’m not ridiculously hot, just ordinary. It fucking sucks. The whole time you’re thinking “hey, this is cool we’re having a fun time, he seems to respect what I’m saying” and then its sinks in as the hand comes over (not for the first time, after pushing it off previously) “oh, he just thinks I’m a vagina. Great.”

Not most guys, thank god. But more than once. And I would guarantee most women would tell you the same.

So fuck that advantage, I don’t want it.
