With the advent of popular dating sites/apps like Tinder, women dating 3 guys at once is the norm. Maybe I'm a prude but I have a problem with this. Guys are rendered disposable. I've heard conversations where women talk about quickly swiping left and how dating sites/apps are pointless to them. I think dating sites/apps are just a tool for women to catch a big fish. 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.

Oh please.....

My take would be many more men would exhibit this behavior than women.

But if women and men choose to date multiple people, why do you care? It's their choice.

Well, you're not a big fish then.

I wouldn't date in that situation if I knew about it. What's the point? It's just an ego trip for the woman and I wouldn't see the person as a keeper myself. I'm just a one at a time type of guy, lifes much less complicated that way.

Sheesh...

Not like men don't date multiple people too.. Please...

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

Warning: this will be unpopular. Shield your eyes if you're sensitive.

People did this all the time in the 50s, 60s and so on... Dating doesn't have to mean sleeping with...personally I don't think it's such a bad idea; in fact, it's a little weird that we're supposed to "commit" to one person we haven't officially had a date with yet, before setting up another date. You haven't even met. LOL. Or to "commit" to one guy, having gone out with him once or twice, to the exclusion of entertaining a different date possibility. You don't KNOW eachother. Who can make that decision that quickly?

Maybe I'm just weird? Or loose or something?

I do remember a jillion years ago...let me think. It must have been 2001? I very very briefly did OLD...some guy contacted me...PM on the site, not a phone call or anything yet...we exchanged probably 2 messages and he asked whether I was accepting other dates currently and I said yes and he told me that he "wasn't going to bother" if I wasn't "serious"...what the actual....? I hope he found a lovely, parallel-paranoid girl to spend many happy days with. For every pot there's a lid...
