I was responding to JerZ’s post aboit the guy who said she wasn’t serious after two dates.

Do you even know someone’s last name on a second date?

Super early exclusivity is about sex. Nothing else.

BTW, I’m not making a value judgement. But there is not much other reason to “lock it down” that early.

This is just what I was told...I was constantly asking her for dating advice as a teen (she and my sister).
My grandma and her sister had only one dress coat during the Depression. They would mail it back and forth between them for dates. They very much were both going out with different men on a regular basis. That is how people dated. They kept it casual longer until someone stood out. Worked for both of them. Both sets of my grandparents had solid and happy marriages that lasted over 50 years. Both sets of them were still in love with their apouse when their marriages ended due to death of partner. I tend to approach datimg the same way. I hope to have what they had.

Yes you are making a value judgement, but that's okay it doesn't really matter.

What I posted was I can only concentrate on one person at a time, if you can divide your attention between four or five men that's fine, and that's not a value judgement either.

If you want to go there... it seems like you've been saying it's going to take 5 months before you actually have physical contact with a guy, and you're going out with four or five guys ... meanwhile, Im concentrating on one, and I am still with one.

Same in this country , I had a friend who had a Friday night boyfriend for months as well as a Saturday night boyfriend. One she later married, but I was surprised when my daughters made me aware that the culture had changed.

But it has probably never been quite acceptable when married people openly have affairs, especially politicians. It is just that it is far more difficult to hide these days. We just lost our Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce, (google him if you want a laugh as we are all laughing as well as cringing) I suppose for single people the same issue arises, very difficult to keep things quiet these days.

If you aren't a big fish you are tossed back into the water. Thus, the modern dating scene is largely diluted.

I've never dated 3 women at once so I wouldn't be interested in a woman doing so. I think it could be a challenge nowadays to still find young wholesome women.
Lol. Hold the phone. Women are starting to act like guys do when dating?

You do understand the words ironic and double standard right.

Just because you wouldn’t do x doesn’t mean someone else won’t. I personally wouldn’t care if she was dating other guys as long as it was out in the open to start with. Because I would probably be dating other people myself. If we got serious I would expect to be monogamous. Ultimately not all women are dating multiple guys. Just find one who isn’t dating a bunch of dudes.

Most people (regardless of sex) want to date multiple people to find one that’s best for them. Nothing wrong with that.

I don’t care if other people do it. Not my business. But lME it tends to be mainly for sexual reasons...not for me on the second date. For me, that doesn’t work. If it works for others, fine. I am sure occasionally there are people who do not have that reason. I have not experienced it however. Men I have been out with expressly told me that is why they wanted early exclusivity. To “test the waters” so to speak. I have never had anyone say they wanted a committed relationship after two dates, and being exclusive casually before tou know the person has a high probability of failure.

I am glad you found a compatible partner.

As far as I am concerned, unless there exists an agreement for exclusivity it is none of your concern nor business.

It certainly happens and it's okay to the extent that no one is under the impression that there is exclusivity.

Actually, some guys (given past posts on here) are much more ticked off by a woman sleeping with one guy and NOT sleeping with others, namely them! You know, if you're gonna sleep with one, sleep with all for the good of equality.
