That's my experience, too. They always say that pretty much immediately. Bringing up the "not playing around/knowing what I want/avoiding drama"

same here. Some ask me on the first date if my parents are still married, if I have genetic diseases in my family, how soon I can sell my house and other stuff that makes me feel like a breeding machine.

I have decided that next time I get asked all these questions that I will get a little more creative - my mom has no clue which of the guys was my dad, all my male relatives have a third eye, my house is in foreclosure, etc. etc.

yeah, but what if you meet a nice person and hang out once a week, slowly figuring each other out and after 2-3 weeks you coincidentally - without looking - meet another nice person.

Will you reject the second person even though you have no clue where it is going with person number one? Who could just flake on you (like many did before) and then you might have missed out on Mr./Mrs. Right?

I have gotten those too. It was especially bad when I did online on a religious site.

I think that is primarily my dissonance with so many of other peoples viewpoints on here. There seems to be such an undercurrent of a mindset that if a date doesn't go to a second date, it was a bad first date or a failure, or if a relationship ends, or doesn't lead to marriage, it wasn't a successful relationship. I don't get this mindset at any level.
Depends, if sex is not happening then its not an enjoyment in my opinion and if it is happening then im with that person and done dating. The only way I could see dating being fun is if you literally had several women messaging you or hitting on you, as a guy, every day.

There is something about knowing its YOUR choise to pick and choose that makes waiting for sex easier. But if your the type that has to sail for months without dry land then when you find that little island you want to seal the deal.
