“Last I heard flirting wasn’t a criminal offense.”
Not ashamed to say, I found out how far a girl would go, by trying.
When she said no, I respected that. No hard feelings either way (well a little for awhile).
I believe I am typical of the male species.
What? You didn’t get a signed consent form? LOL
When she said yes, did you disrespect that?
I ask because as long as established wisdom is being flipped over, I've thought about the typical order of the male-female relationship-building business.
A boy does what he can to get as much as he can, meaning that he intentionally angles for what he desires.
It's not that he necesarily lies to the girl, although that happens a lot, just that he simply wants "x" to occur.
However, if the girl decides to go along with what the boy claims he wants, then the usual result is that she proves that she's no good.
Thus it is okay for a boy to want and to pursue, but then reject the ones who go along with it. Oh well, try again.
I know this is the way things *are*, but I find game unsettling, because if a girl knows to say no in order to earn respect, then what kind of a reward is that?
Seems like a booby prize, because that same boy would have tossed her aside if she fell in his trap. Traps, ugh.
Nothing personal toward you, only that your comment brought these "the way the world goes round" schemes to mind. I suppose somewhere back in the dusty 'old days' that maybe never existed, a boy would simply fall in love with a girl and propose.
I'm a very simple person, so these kinds of things perplex me and confuse me. Too complicated.
As for Roy Moore, maybe he was just simple and sweet, not a weirdo. I hope so anyway. False accusers and women 'suddenly offended' 40 years later are 1000x worse than anything they've accused this man of.
