A discussion on another website led me to post this question to women here: Do You Mark Your Territory?
I mean, when you are dating a man, do you purposely leave some of your personal items in his car or home to let other women know that the man is "taken"? Do you look for similar items, as well?
Things like:
- A few subscription issues of women's magazines (Modern Bride, Cosmopolitan, et cetera) in his magazine rack.
- Stockings or shoes under his couch or bed.
- Scrunchies or other items of grooming in his bathroom.
- Undergarments under the passenger seat of his car.
... Or any other obviously feminine item in some location in his home or car where another woman might know where to look and what to look for?
Thank you.
I'm a lesbian and normally have different tastes than the partners I've had, but I've never "marked my territory." It seems like a dishonest, deceptive thing to do and thus, it has absolutely no appeal to me. I've also never looked for things in a partner's place of residence because to me, that's a disrespect of their privacy. If there's something laying out in the open that doesn't seem to belong, I'd ask about it, but look for things? No. All of these actions seem like really deceptive games. Though I'm sure that there are people that do such things, I'd never do such a thing and I wouldn't have a very high opinion of a potential partner or friend who would. After all, you can't expect someone to respect you if you don't respect them...so it seems like a recipe for disaster to me...
