It happened the last 3 times I've had casual sex, it's not a one off but a pattern.

Are you a woman? If not, you might not experience or understand the intense bonding that some women can feel after sex, even with total strangers. Women typically experience oxytocin's effects more strongly than most men do. They're biologically wired to. Having said that, the experiences described here show that not all experience it as strongly as others do. That is what this thread is about. Working out if it's about oxytocin, personality or what? Personally I've found it very interesting and it's given me tons of food for thought in terms of how I've been seeing the world and the men I want to be meeting in the future.
I agree, this guy was a d-bag. It doesnt reflect on you. Its him. He probably does this all the time.
Theres some saying about fishing in a toxic pond or something, youll catch poison fish?
You asked awhile back where to meet people.
Maybe this is where we can steer the thread now. Giving helpful suggestions to OP rather than castigating her. Really now.
1st guy I met on a dating app overseas.
2nd guy I met in person by chance (he was a plumber who came to fix my heating, sounds like a porn movie plot I know)
3rd guy on OK Cupid.
However, I'm not going to swear off dating apps altogether. I've had some lovely Tinder dates (which didn't involve sex.) I'm also more interested in meeting men through shared activities. I'm thinking of taking up golf and acro yoga.
I wonder, after all the learning she is exploring here in this thread, why you chose to castigate her?
Tough love. Why do you choose to coddle her? She went in eyes wide open and what I don’t get is that she says she’s not into casual sex because she gets attached... I get that, but then she went ahead and did it anyway. Why? Hoping to set the hook? That’s what it sounds like to me. Not a great plan... as she well found out. I’ve seen it a ton of times.. a girl has sex with a guy in order to try and secure a relationship and when it doesn’t pan out... she feels used.
They barely knew one another so how can she blame the him if she was willing to have sex with him without any kind of communication before hand? He probably just thought she was cool with casual sex ( she did do it). Was he supposed to be a mind reader? Was he supposed to have some kind intuition on how she felt about sex?

Just my initial thoughts. I see nothing wrong with covering all bases, so using apps is fine.
I think the risk though is that a lot of guys on apps will have ulterior motives. Because they are playing the numbers game too.
Some guys on there are just racking up their number and will say anything to get another girl in bed. And they are not necessarily seeing this girl as a human who could be hurt by the aftermath of this.
One way to weed out guys like that is to present a bunch of hoops they have to jump through before even meeting you. Make a questionnaire. Im serious.
Write a list of questions of things that are meaningful to you. Things you want to know about him. Probe his thoughts and values with this. Dont meet up with anyone unless he answers all the questions and you like his answers.

You're not getting it.
He was passing through my area. I knew it was going to go nowhere in terms of a relationship. He moved 9,000 miles away 3 days after he sent his "I'm not coming" text. That was always his plan. We both knew it.
I was "butthurt" because I expect respect from casual sex partners. Civilities, like "hello", "goodbye", "it's been fun". Not being stood up 5 mins beforehand, with no explanation or further contact. When you have casual sex with someone, you still open yourself up in an intimate way. I'd expect a goodbye after that, some kind of acknowledgement. I also don't expect to be stood up on the night I think we'll be saying goodbye and having our last meeting.
To be honest, you sound like one of those people who treats people poorly and then when they don't respond well, tell them to "get over themselves". Having casual sex doesn't give people a licence to be rude.
I demand respect in all my relationships, so sorry, but I am not interested in your brand of "tough love" telling me to settle for something less.
Right. And I think the best way to take care of it is to not to jump into bed with someone at the first sign of chemistry but instead take the time to find out who they really are.
Right, but to me jumping in bed because of chemistry is how casual sex most often happens. So we are right back at the beginning.

some d-bag treated you rudely then ignored you. i would be upset too.
This particular guy came out and the context of the poster explaining that she is unable to have casual sex without getting attached to the man regardless of how they treat her. And by the time she realizes they don’t treat her well it’s too late because she’s hooked from the sex. This one guy is just one example. It just started to get stuck on that one person I think in the thread.

The problem with a questionnaire is that they can be skewed In favor of the taker.... Best behavior and all of that. It’s really a lot simpler than that.. it’s called “communication” and sticking to your guns.
If you’re not comfortable with something.... don’t do it! If you’re looking for a SO, set the boundaries up front.
