Getting Sex vs. Getting a Relationship

[Chai]

So some of you (lots of you) may have seen the Internet Relationships thread, and I brought it up to my boyfriend and a group of guy friends. From there we kind of got sidetracked and started talking about whether it's easier for men to get sex and for women to get relationships, or if it's easier for women to get sex and for men to get relationships.

I've heard convincing cases for both, but I'm just curious as to what y'all think of it.

Then we took that further and I asked them (the guys) whether it's easier to get a romantic relationship or a "friends with benefits" type relationship, and then which type of relationship is easier to keep and maintain. As a girl, I'm honestly curious what you men have to say.

Woman can get sex any time they want.

Most women.

Some women.

Okay, hot women.

okay okay average and above women

well alright slightly ugly too whatever I'll put it in

[Awson]

Besides that bit about women, I honestly don't know.

It's probably pretty varied on either side and depends on the individual.

About a year ago I was under the impression that there was maybe at MOST one or two people on this good earth that would ever want to sex me up (I think I counted Foxes in that number FYI).

I am now pretty aware that I could come on to just about anythingone and get at least somewhere.

As far as relationships go, I think in order to have something that's meaningful, both men and women have an equal chance at finding someone/something, given proper circumstances.

I think I heard in school that woman are more likely to give sex to get love, while men are more likely to give love to get sex. Food for thought.

The differences in end goals.

Whether or not they're mutually workable is probably an indication of whether or not the relationship has the potential to work.

I'd agree with that. Of course, everything varies from individual to individual.

This thread's dumb questions really make me feel like going into a deep explanation of relationships, standards, and love in human psychology, but I know it would just be a waste of time.

But... there's literally no questions. Everything's a statement.

The statements are referencing questions.

So you are questioning the questions presented as statements with a statement.

Right on!

Having had neither I really have no opinion on the subject I guess. It would be nice to hold hands.

Just go up to some random stranger and take theirs. They won't mind if you explain it's for science.

Sex and relationships…

Teach me the ways of human courtship, Master Dervish.

Teach me the ways of human courtship, Master Dervish.

Step one: Clubbing prospective mates to take them back to your dwelling is considered cruel and primitive. Stick to roofies.

Step two: Wear enough cologne to make plants wither and die. It drives prospective mates crazy trying to find your natural scent that they are naturally drawn to you, despite the tears.

Step three: Only wear tear away track pants for obvious reasons. Time is of the essence.

Step four: Flowers and candle lit dinners are fine and all, but your prospective mate is more impressed if you take down big game and bring it to their dwelling as a gift.

Step five: Install key locks on the inside of your dwelling; this prevents your prospective mate from leaving before the courtship is concluded.

Step six: Nobody likes poppy romance music. Black metal reminds your prospective mate that their time is finite, and they should definitely find a mate before it is too late.

Step seven: Instead of rose pedals leading to the bedroom, leave condoms. It then becomes a game to determine which one your prospective mate will choose.

Step eight: When assuming the position, make sure it is a dominating one. Your prospective mate will not be impressed if they are overpowering you. They want to see that you aren't to be fucked with, which makes you worthy of fucking. See step four.

Step nine: Once finished, make sure at least 25% of your prospective mate's body is covered in bruises. Anything less means they will not be satisfied and will find a better mate who will show them who's boss.

Step ten: Give them a relaxing bubble bath. Bonus points if you provide a rubber ducky.

Step eleven: Brush your prospective mate's hair to make sure that none of your critters escaped during step 8.

Step twelve: Order pizza. This is not negotiable.

Step thirteen: Make plans for next week, but show up the day before. This shows you aren't bound by laws of men.

Congratulations! You are now the master of any relationship.
