I wouldn't expect that my experiences as a woman dressed up like a man to be similar to what an actual man is going through. For starters, I'm not a man - so I don't think like I man. I'm also not attracted to women. I could understand dressing up like a man to see how people treat you differently in your daily life - or putting on a fat suit, or being made up to be a minority. Things like that would be eye opening, I'm sure. But dating is dependent on the interaction between the two people on the date - and it doesn't really make sense if one of them is a woman dressed up like a man.
Absolutely agree.

Glad you explained that!

Excuse me while I check on my (soft) harem.

I mean, look at how many deadbeats have kids.
This still assumes that all sex is procreative in nature and always leads to pregnancy.

You're lost. Women DO want casual with men who they would not be able to snag for commitment.

No, women want casual with a man who is fun and doesn't start getting all clingy and possessive afterwards. In my experience, that is hard to find.

I am also using it to describe dating/relationships post-sexual-revolution, not throughout all of history.

Your harem-theory, at least from a testable tangible perspective, is factually incorrect because it is not backed by genetics of any sort. The majority of genetic testing on humans has been done recently, in a post-sexual-revolution world and guess what, the genetic variation is STILL there which means; a lot of men have been and currently are sleeping a lot of women and are all contributing to the genetic pot.

Also you are correct, sex is not always for procreative purposes however the more frequently 1 male sleeps with 1 female, the higher the chances are that she will conceive so... who cares if one "stud" sleeps with one woman at one point in time (ONS). This same woman will most likely eventually conceive with a regular guy who she really likes (LTR) and he (joe smoe) will be the one with her the most frequently, not the "stud". Thoughts?

You said it! I'm going to have to ask my husband if one of his chicks is a neat freak because she would have a field day at our house!
