I just treat people like people. With that said I have found that women who expect you to pay for dates tend to expect other non-reciprocal material benefits and that becomes what the relationship is about on my end. I don't want to be in that kind of relationship.

Woman says that she had no idea they were going "too quickly" as it was the man who was the initiator in the intimate situation.

In this scenario, was the test valid? What do you think of this?
I don't know any man that would do something so stupid. Where do you meet these morons?

I agree with you here. I don't think they do it once we've been with them for a while but in the begining yes they do.

Yes. Exactly. No sense in wasting unnecessary time when you don't have to.

I'm sure we've both missed out on nice people because of our preference. That's life.

Women and men test each other out all the time. Let's be real. Op your example of the woman testing for initiative was dumb. Yet it proves and gives the assumption she is nuts and he should of left.
