“For a woman you would find sexually attractive to any degree, intimacy will tend to lead to desire, which will lead to frustration if the desire is not reciprocated. Even if you initially don’t think the woman is all that “hot”, friendly intimacy would lead to increasing sexual interest.”
I agree. If there is even the tiniest thing that a man finds attractive about a woman, the possiblity for shenanigans exists.
We’re not trying to be pigs. When we like a women we want to have sex with her. It’s not meant to be an insult.
“The world view of the interviewees is too narrow.”
No. That’s what the question is about. Not just ANYONE in the whole world including people who could be one of your grandparents. It’s about someone who is one of your ‘contemporaries’ so to speak. Someone you could be expected to date - as it is generally understood.
I guess I felt that it went without saying but the context here is men and women that COULD be attracted to one another. A lot of age separation? Not what I was talking about. When most people have this discussion they’re talking about two adults in the same general age catagory. I guess I should have been more specific.
For some reason, that last sentence just whacked my funny bone. I guess I found the concept funny that someone would take it as an insult.
The Nags that Rush Limbaugh refers to jumped into my head. Darn, now I need some mind bleach...
There. That did a fine job...:)
