This was a very interesting thread to read. I'm not part of the "dating" world, so I'm not familiar with the "games" that are needed to be played in order to always be a step ahead of the person you're playing.
I'm not sure if any of you are God conscious or follow a religion, but by judging the "dating" scene, it becomes more obvious why fornication is a sin & relationships can only truly blossom within the realms of marriage.
Most of you here are disregarding marriage.. saying you could never trust a woman. But that's because the side of the fence you're on there is no trust. From a young age you've been sleeping with women, to the point that you've taught yourself to de-tach from all emotions.. in order to satisfy your desires, whilst protecting your heart. In essence you've become like robots with little emotion, and as consequence learnt to objectify any woman that crosses your path. Similarly, many women are victims of society. They've been taught & encouraged to sell their bodies through vids/mags/movies, and encouraged to have sex to please a man. Society as a whole has created this disease. The only way to truly free yourself from this is to turn back to God.
I'm not here to preach, I'm just here to give a female's perspective.
