Does the old rule "He won't buy the cow if he's getting the milk for free" hold true? If I like someone then I want to fool around (i.e. bone) and not play the games...does that automatically disqualify me as girlfriend material?

That is a gross rule. You should be disqualified as girlfriend material for even quoting that lame, old-fashioned chestnut. Most dating rules were written in the mid-1990's by bitter harpies with bat wings, eating disorders, and fashionable footwear. They are unhappy, and they want everyone else to be unhappy. Maybe that's just fair.These rules were meant to make everybody miserable, by reinforcing gender stereotypes and conforming our worst fears of one another.

For instance: that men consume sex as if it were cow juice. Or that women use their sexuality as bait in order to trap a man into commitment.

Sex is not a transaction. A woman shouldn't bang it out with a dude as a way of getting something back. Sex is an ends, not a means. You should bone a dude because you're into him. He's sexy, your horny, and he makes your goddess fruit throb. You're not a cow for him to "buy." And to further this creepy ass metaphor, your milk is totally for "free."

The physical act of sex is given willfully. You consent to grab ankle. I have participated in genital mushing with women I have later regretted. Oh well. These things happen. More often than not, I make good choices for myself, and don't regret sharing intimate moments with women. Usually, these sexual dalliances turn into relationships. Not always. But that's the fun of spinning The Wheel of Romance.

But let's talk about relationships for a second: sex is an essential component of a happy pairing. But it's not the only component. If I had to translate it into a horrible dating coach talking point: He can't live on milk alone? Cripes. But it's true. Besides, you know the guys who want your crotch Skittles from those who want your heart.

Fool around. Bone who you want. But make it about you, not an imaginary (or even real) him. Try focusing on what disqualifies HIM from being boyfriend material. If all you have in common is hooking up, then accept it for what it is.

Guys who are looking for a girl to hook up with.. hook up with them. Guys who want to date you... ask you out. If a guy, instead of asking you out, just tries to have sex with you thats like saying, "I dont find you gf material but you're still hot enough to f**k". What I'm saying is, if you just hook up with that guy the chances are most likely that he just wanted to fool around with you... and he'll move on so he can fool around with someone else too. Guys like the chace. If you put out too early the CHANCES are (not 100%) that he wont stick around.

But what about if you'd already known the guy for years? my bf and I knew eachother since high school and finally had the chance to date and he was so eager to get me to stay the night and then a few days later wanted to be intimate with me... he ws in a rush I was taking things easy (due to being hurt by men before) but in the end before I knew it I was head over heels for him and wanted him all the time and still do. We have a kick ass relationship and adore eachother. It caught me off guard when he told me he loved me though XD

I say the situation depends but always listen to your gut instincts. If something is telling you to not go home with that guy there could be a reason that you'll later find out about. But until you find someone whom you can adore and love why not have fun? Be smart, stay safe USE PROTECTION!

prettylady

thats true. I was talking about a guy you just meet, not a guy you've known for a while. I mean, when you think about it its kind of difficult NOT to just jump into a relationship with a guy friend once it happens cause you already know about each other's lives... so the first couple of date's topic are kind of already taken care of, you know?

It's reciprocal. Perhaps you shouldn't "bang it out with a dude as a way of getting something back", but who's to say that he isn't also a cow to be bought? Also, you know what's great about that situation? You don't have to buy the cow, or make any pretense about thinking about buying the cow. However, you do have to have some emotional distance from the situation (which you probably don't if you're asking this question online).

If you're wondering whether you're girlfriend material, you shouldn't be establishing a fwb relationship. It won't end well. The only situation that this is not true is when a guy wants to have a relationship with you, and you only want sex. Then, it has potential to change into something more, but we're not talking about that here. Unfortunately (no matter how anti-feminist or irritating it is) most guys prize the chase and the initial spark over a serious relationship that takes forever to develop. Honestly, though, do you feel differently?

Yes, Kate, the man can be the cow. True.

Men love the chase. Absolutely. And women love to be chased. And vice versa. There's a self-esteem boost to both pursuits.

But there is not a human being alive who would choose the chase over consistently mind-blowing sex with someone who also likes to watch The Family Guy reruns.

I find men obsessed with the chase are men who have never really connected with a chick. They hunt tail they don't know what to do with once it's caught. I think it's likewise with the ladies.

Ahh that elusive chase theory... gotta say any guy that can't handle is a woman tries to make a small advance after awhile really doesn't know how to handle a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. Those are the women that enjoy sex and are not going to demand commitment asap I've noticed over the years. They usually know where they stand day one with a guy and tend to make guys think they are running everything actually. Those type "A" guys really need to learn something from those type "B" laid-back guys...

i think everyone should just have sex with the people who get them fired up and worry about the details later. everything is a natural process and will fall into place if you stop thinking about it so much. dont go running off the deep end and sleep with every guy that talks to you but live a little. besides one day when your in a committed relationship, you will look at the person and think, " i should of boinked so and so in the park when i had the chance! " : )

I don't have a problem being confident with my skin and with men I am not interested as a boyfriend, I can lead them on a chase. My problem is, once I do find a guy I like a whole lot and want to be with more, is when I am f*cked (no pun intended).

I didn't intentionally play the chase game with my ex-boyfriend, Fred, and he fell in love. A child later and my emotionally psycho moods, we broke up. Now he wants to spend time with me at his convenience, f*ck and with no commitment.

I clearly do not know what to do.

My mom said that to me once. I told her, "You haven't tasted my milk." She never mentioned my sex life again.
