Ahhhhh...one of my favorite expressions too

So I take it you DO believe emotionally healthy young women naturally want sex with no other strings?

I believe in choice if she chooses to engage in no string sex or chooses not to. The emotional health of the two could be varied and I will not make any assumptions and if I do they are that only assumptions. Unless I know them personally I will not hold the women in any contempt. I apologize if my comments and response came off a certain way its hard to convey civility over typed responses.

Of course this is coming from a male who is one of the few non "Man-Whores" in the my family.

So I guess my "natural" wiring might be a bit defective.

Fair enough. Though I will say, what I have shared with you is gleaned from years and years of involvement in the lives of young women, not to mention psychological perspectives I've read and researched

Currently in my senior year of college with a degree in Psychology and Sociology and a future in social work so I'm no stranger the wonderful world of psychological research.

I'm still young but my experience with the vast personalities women in my family and who I've known as friends right now makes me treat people and how they act on a case by case basis

Also my current experience growing up and working with young males in my internships was that hyper masculinity was the root cause of many young males behavior towards women and life in general so "natural" wiring has a bit of a bad taste in my mouth right now if you understand.

Also I updated my previous post to be more precised.

I believe that there is a population of emotionally healthy women who are fine with sex without springs. Besides emotional health is very realtive.

To the person who left this rep comment

young men your age want to believe that, and some girls will lie to themselves and u about it to reel a guy n but lovesmountains is absolutely correct, girls aren't hardwired to do the sex thing w/out feelings & some strings u should learn from loves
At least identify yourself. I won't take you seriously if you can't even muster enough courage to leave your name.

I disagree and could care less.

To some, yes. When I was single for a few years, I had a hard time finding a guy that wanted to be in a committed relationship. Almost all seemed fine with just casually hanging out but none seemed to be looking for anything remotely seriously. I was in my late 20's at the time.

With many this probably crosses their minds.

Damn where can I find attractive women like you guys that ate my age that are single. The few relationships I've had turned out poorly and most of the time where I'm able to have a nice conversation in the first place I find out that they are taken... I sometimes wish there was a way to find quality women outside the church..

Being a Buddhist seems to strongly limit my market, as too many young single people look for other people in
bars..

Once they realize they are too old for the 'just out of high school' age girls they'll start trying to settle down.

At least, that's what I've noticed from my male friends that are starting to hit their 30s.
