Relationships end for tons of reasons, and it often isn't because someone (one or both of the parties) made poor choices.


No, not really. That is just game playing.
Ah the ole game playing straw man. Whatcha call people who ask for second opinions for surgery, game players? Buy the first house you see? Never test drive? Would you give your house keys to someone you just met? I'd trust someone with mu house before I trusted them with me. But that's just me...and far fewer things go wrong in my life.. New I guy who dated the same girl I did. We didn't have sex. The other guy did and he got crabs. Nice memory, sure he savors it.

Does not mean it needs to take much more than a month or two, but I never wanted to be a two legged coyote.

You assume it's going to be a failing relationship because somebody wants to have sex? Most people would view that as a good sign for the relationship, not a bad one.

Yes, I understand the topic of the thread. Your thought process, on the other hand, not so much.

You're the one being argumentative. I didn't refer to any one poster or any post in specific, did I? I said a "subset of men".

And LTR or LTR focused really has zero meaning. You don't commit to an LTR, LTRs only happen over time. One day at a time. An LTR is really a term without any meaning. It can be 4 mos to some people, 4 years to others and 40 years to some. It's a useless term.

Rarely does someone enter into a committed relationship with someone knowing it will be finite (it happens on occasion), so when does count as a LTR? Here is is just being used as a judgmental thing.

Straw man arguments, insults and taking him out of context in not too particularly clever ways. With the likes of you around, I would sooner pour concrete in my orifices or geld myself than to breed the human race into dysgenic oblivian.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I you want to ask for a second opinion on whether you should have sex with someone, go ahead.

If two people both want to have sex. Have sex. Don't play games with sex. Simple.

Sure. Or none of the above, if you're not bat-sh*t loony.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Hope the mood and cognitive functioning get better for you as the day progresses. You can do it!

Never made that assumption. All I said was that if the guy doesn't want to stick it out for a couple months waiting for sex, then you most likely dodge a bullet. What is so hard to understand about this? All it conveys is that the guy was more into your vagina, then you as a person.

It really is that simple. This is how emotionally healthy, high functioning adults conduct their sex lives in my experience. It's bizarre to me that some struggle with it.

What bullet? If she wants to have sex at two weeks, or one night, what bullet should she be fearing?

This is what I don't get.
