These men don't know that you're the relationship type. All they know is that if they keep putting it out there some sexually liberated woman is likely to bite.
Fair point! Once again I am reminded of the ridiculousness of Sex & the City, why wouldn't guys take a shot.

No, this is not normal in NYC. I think that the OP has had a run of bad luck with a certain shameless type of guy. Maybe certain guys think that women who just broke up with their boyfriends are vulnerable to this sort of approach?

Maybe the OP will have to stop being friendly and polite to male acquaintances. It's a shame, but there obviously exist guys who aren't able to handle polite social interaction.

I think the OP, according to the OP, would be a great catch, however I would not give a rude woman a chance.

The guy you describe isn't going to get anyone who is stable. I wouldn't take anything he does or says personally or let him rent any space in my head. It sounds as if his emotional development stopped when he was around 22.

I'm not saying that every man does it. My point is that men who do it do it bc they feel they have nothing to lose bc there are many sexually liberated women in our society. If you don't take a shot you may miss out on something. I don't behave this way but I think that is the thought process of those who do.

No, I'm not a great catch at all. I would say I am a mediocre catch at best.

Nothing wrong with simply asking me about something instead of making things up.

I said according to the Original Post.

I mean, I see no red flags, thus I assume the best.

No reason to be a cynic, right?

This isnt directed at the OP but i dont get the women that go out to bars and then complain about the guys there only looking for sex. I dont think they realize that the majority of guys go to bars/club to get laid, not to find a relationship. If a girl wants to protect herself she'll withhold sex at least until she's determined the integrity of the guy.
