Why are women permitted to hit a man for extending such an invitation? At least the guys who are doing this are being upfront and honest. There are some people who keep their partners in relationships for no other reason than to have a reliable source of sex; all the while they are emotionally stringing along their partner. I think that's far worse.
I would say a more appropriate response in this situation for a woman who did not want sex would be to say 'no'. 'No thanks' would be even better, and would show appreciation for his offer. After all, I bet most women wouldn't want a knee in their groin if the roles were reversed.
I appreciate that sentiment. Life would be
much easier (and my love life would be quite a bit more colourful) if simply politely asking for sexual intercourse would be an acceptable alternative to the whole flirting/wooing/pick-up lines theatre that I have yet to make sense of in 28 years... Of course, impolite requests could still be met with knees-to-groin action.
I once heard about this guy who simply made obscene gestures involving two fingers and his tongue to girls. Worked for him, apparently. Then again, it's like the usual Discovery show about a crazy Australian who swims around with crocodiles. The fact that he can do it doesn't make it an advisable thing to do.
There used to be this hit single some years ago, a very catchy saxophone tune with the only lyrics being a rather shy-sounding girl starting with "I noticed you around... I think you're very attractive." I used to like the song a lot because it pretty much covers what would be the ideal model of mating rituals to me.
I read a lot of advice about escorts and brothels here. I don't think I personally could ever do that, though. For me at least, sex takes a
lot of trust, and I need to know the person involved at least to some extent. If I were confronted with a girl I know nothing about, I would simply freeze up, "deer-in-headlights"-like.
