Sheesh.
Isn't that nice?
I especially liked hearing "well, I test drive a car before I buy it" line. Classy.
Men really use that line. I would never say that to a girl but am I thinking that. Yes and so is almost every man I know.
What meet in a hour after first message? Are you sure you are talking to the guy in the pic. I will say that people do need to confirm identity before meeting IRL.
Charming.
It's the truth though.
Your truth, perhaps.
and "almost every man I know". There is only one person I know 100% bought the car without a test drive and I kind of knew he would. I encourage it since he wanted to wait why not.
well fortunately not everyone thinks like that because- I spent almost 3 years with my BF before "test driving"... with severe trauma issues- that was a REALLY touchy subject- so needless to say both he and I sucked at "test driving"
it was horrible- we were both really glad we didn't go away and make a big "fun" "romantic" weekend out of it- it was awful.
The bed room- with proper communication and a good personal connection can be vastly improved upon with work and practice.0 -
This thread depresses me........0

To be fair to yopeeps, (prepare for unpopular comment)
Eventually I would want to "test drive" a potential mate. Just because that compatibility is important and all that jazz.
That is not to say you test drive first. You test drive after you know the car's not going to crash and cause a cinematic fireball.0 -
My new year's resolution was "no more men". (kind of jokingly, but...)
I totally understand where you're coming from...0 -
Oh God, at least i'm not alone....but seriously, seems like they are everywhere.
I had a guy ask me on a first date within the first 30 minutes if "clothing was optional" and then said "would you like to touch my soft balls?" ............uhhhhh
Oh my gosh. I feel for you. Where did you find this person? So I can avoid it obviously, not start hanging out there or anything creepy.0 -

So much this.

I for one don't think that, and believe most men don't think like that.
Women are nothing like cars.
*kitten*. I've been doing things all wrong. Is that why my wife always says no when I ask to check under her hood?

Well, maybe, but the analogy is probably not the thing to say the first time you are talking to someone. Or even the first date. Or even ever.0 -

You must hang out with a lot of *kitten* then.
Or men who actually know who they are. I do not know too many sexless relationship. I will say that my company of people is very interesting.0 -

True, definitely not something I'd say out loud. Except perhaps in the case of:tincanonastring wrote: »I for one don't think that, and believe most men don't think like that.

Because I laughed so hard.0 -
Last year, maybe. I'm okay, now.0

No one is suggesting a sexless relationship.
But comparing having sex with a woman to test driving a car? Gross.0 -

Oh I do not doubt that straight men encounter their fair share of crazy too! A colleague of mine asked her last date how many women he'd slept with and why he was still 'only' a junior editor at work. Why he didn't call her back, I'll never know.0 -

I've heard that men usually get a lot of women asking for money for "services" right off the bat. It's horrible with both genders. Comparing one to the other is pointless. Both genders are equally terrible.0 -
