"Women who don't 'put out' by the 3rd date are playing mind games"

Comment from a male acquaintance.

I actually burst out laughing.

He said he could understand the delay only if the woman was a virgin.

He thinks with his knob..and is one!

Younger women may even fall for such garbage I suppose

I was going to ask why you were still friends with this person, but then noticed you had said acquaintance.
Perhaps suggest he tries sheep instead as they don't even expect a date.

KarmaK · 28/03/2012 01:32

LMAO!

He is a very good example of why we must educate young girls about the so-called "rules" some people suggest about dating. Very 80's mentality..or just desperate Grin

oikopolis · 28/03/2012 01:34

men who use terms like "put out" should be very very quiet

SkipTheLightFanjango · 28/03/2012 01:36

For sheep I would recommend him these...ha!

carernotasaint · 28/03/2012 01:37

Men who use phrases like mind games in the same sentence as "put out" obviously went to the Dennis Waterman charm school.

AnyFucker · 28/03/2012 07:35

worra load of ole shit

Llareggub · 28/03/2012 07:39

Should we not educate young boys too?

JustHecate · 28/03/2012 07:43

What a load of crap.

Is he someone who thinks that by the third date he has expended enough and should be getting a return on his investment? Hmm

SardineQueen · 28/03/2012 07:53

WTF?

I bet he has something to say about women who "put out" before the third date as well.

i hate men like this.

And yes I agree that educating boys about sex and relationships and so on is fairly important. I thought only nadine dorries thought otherwise.

obviously went to the Dennis Waterman charm school Grin

She's not a hooker FFS!

What an utter cock

OddBoots · 28/03/2012 08:03

It's man like that who would make me want to intentionally wait longer, it helps filter out the prats. That said, I'd hope I would notice if a guy was a dick long before a 3rd date.

CogitoErgoSometimes · 28/03/2012 08:03

I'm guessing women don't date your work colleague more than three times, let alone sleep with him. Hmm It's the same as the 'if they don't fancy me it's because they're probably lesbian' excuse. Oooooh those grapes are sour.....

CogitoErgoSometimes · 28/03/2012 08:04

Sorry... 'acquaintance' rather than work colleague.

It is sad that he can't see he is the one playing games and he doesn't even know that woman don't know the game he is playing

Men do play these games and a lot of woman don't follow or know these rules.

Tis best if we bring our boys and girls up to be themselves and accept others to be themselves as well. For boys are under pressure as much as girls as under pressure and if we can teach them to not accept the pressure all the better

overmydeadbody · 28/03/2012 08:14

What an idiot.

I'll be educating my DS that these are not the rules.

garlicbutter · 28/03/2012 08:17

Going against my knee-jerk reaction - and not excusing him for the expression "putting out" - he could have got this from listening to women talking about dating 'rules'. The reason I detest "The Rules" and the million magazine articles just like it, is that they ARE mind-games!

Really, look on here at threads about whether to phone a man after your first date. Stacks of responses saying exactly how long you "should" wait, what you "should" say and how "men think". Mind games!

Mind you, I don't know this bloke so may as well go with my knee-jerk: he's a knob Wink

RoloTamasi · 28/03/2012 08:26

It's not so much a case of which date #. It's more that if a girl is delaying sex beyond the point that she does want and is ready for it, purely in order to project a certain image (e.g 'good girl') or achieve some other effect, then that is playing games and is a red flag. If she's genuinely not comfortable with it on the other hand, that is fine and perfectly acceptable. Last girl I dated properly waited till date #5, which was fine by me. Although none have been that long before!

PlinkPasta · 28/03/2012 08:39

How old is he! sounds like typical manipulation to get what he wants and an inability to engage with women as real people.
