Within minutes of meeting my Bumble date at a bike race, he demanded that I take off my sunglasses so he could see my eyes. I obliged. In the two hours we were together, he proceeded to put his hand firmly on my butt, pretending to usher me through a crowd. He also did not ask before reaching over to rub my shoulders, as though he had a right to touch my body.
As a feminist writer, I understand that these behaviors denote male entitlement and indicate that he might not respect women. And yet, I was turned on. I have always been attracted to dominant men.

The real lesson is..
when you are attracted to someone, you will overlook a lot.
I read a few of her magazine articles after Googling her name.
It appears that she can’t make it past the second date without sex. As in.. second dates were weekends at his cabin filled with sex!
No wonder guys dump her. Must not be good sex!!!
I’m sure she will find and read this FR post and read the entire thread in detail. I feel sorry for her and do have compassion for her.
Dime to a Dollar she is a Hillary supporter.
“Looks like there’s plenty of butt there to put a hand on.”
Yeah, I noticed that. He might legitimately have been aiming for her back.
Shannon uses lots of words to say she has a burning need for a good poke.
Looks like she's fond of seconds on the taters and gravy too.
Most likely, her dating profile picture is from 10 years ago. Guys show up for the date, see an overweight divorced mom with "issues", and don't bother with a second date.
On her end, I'm going to guess that, of the men who "meet her standards", the vast majority have better options than her.
Women are at their peak desirability in their early 20's. Men hit their peak in their late 20's/early 30's. This means that a woman who marries in her 20's has the best chance of getting a desirable man, and one who divorces after her 30's has a greatly reduced chance of getting a man who is as good as her prior husband.
Or, spending a weekend with her is less enjoyable than just an evening.
The origins are simple to the point of being obvious.
If you raise a dog apart from other dogs, it will be confused. That is, it will still want to mate, but does not understand, relate to, nor can it see other dogs as other than “the enemy”, not part of the pack. Importantly, it does not matter what the other dog is or feels.
Why should we suppose that people are different?
Right now, we are in the awful position of having both small families, and raising boys and girls apart from each other. Either actively segregating them, or allowing them to passively self-segregate. This is a recipe for disaster.
Most parents assume their children interact with children of the opposite gender “in school and church”, but this is not the case, because they are kept too busy to interact. And at a young age, children move to different classes with different teachers and students several times a day.
So there is no continuity, of the same boys and girls interacting extensively, in a controlled, chaperoned situation. Learning “what makes each other tick.”
If a girl is raised without brothers, her only knowledge of males will be her father. And while that is an essential *part* of what she knows about males, he is very different from boys that are her peers. Plus, he is “off limits” to her. As a child she will love him, hopefully. As a teenager she will get upset with him, because her hormones tell her to. But her biological programming is such that she should never be able to imagine him as a mate.
She needs to interact with her peers to know what to say, what to do, what to expect, what to reject, to discriminate between boys, to attract boys, to maintain her composure, etc., etc. She can’t get this with other girls. She must interact with boys. For years.
As things stand, boys and girls are segregated, then about the age of 16 to 18 they are *expected* to date, eventually to find a suitable mate, get married, have children, and enjoy a healthy adult relationship from the rest of their lives.
Seriously? You’d have better luck taking a calculus exam after never having studied calculus.
Why are so many people confused about sex?
Sex is all about babies, period. End of story.
‘Hey, baby. ‘Want o see my itch...er, my etchings?’
Baby got some back!
No, moron, a male who takes such liberties is not a manly man. A manly man may want to do those things, but he restrains himself because he has respect for women.
Exactly.
Excuse me, young lady....

This female is not lady.
Yipes! This woman wears sunglasses quite a bit. Sorry, my blue eyes make me sensitive to glare. But I always take them off inside and if I am introduced to someone outside.
She’s not ugly, but her mental self image is causing her to wear unflattering clothes and to pose like she’s a teenager. She doesn’t see herself in a realistic light. Could be fairly attractive if she’d make peace with what she is, rather than what she thinks she is or wants to be.
“Your Husband is a manly man. But was also much older than you. How did that effect your decision to get married?”
In some ways it made me more trusting of him because he was established and had good friends and was wanting me to have kids with him and could support us all. Not a lot of guys my age are even interested in that. They want to play with their phones and be little boys forever.
There is nothing feminine about feminism.
Interesting. Thank you.
Not even somebody else’s 10 foot pole.
Around here we say 'I wouldn't f*ck her with your d*ck.'
I know, it's not very nice... lol
