That is how I generally view dating. I think, on some level, most people view it that way. It offends a lot of people to point it out, but the general expectation is that the man pays for dates and he hopes that it results in sex at some point.
Edit: people seem to be missing my point. I am female and I don't date. (http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2014/01/no-dating-required.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2014/01/no-dating-re...) Stating that this is a logical interpretation of dating does not mean I condone it. (Yup, as stated elsewhere, I am for decriminalization of sex work.)
- yarou 11y agoI think a lot of people conflate intimacy and sex. For me, paying for sex is not a big deal. Paying for intimacy is way more ickier to me than the former.
- burfog 11y agoThe time scale matters. My expectation was sex, yes, but with marriage. I had no real desire to be a manslut, or whatever you'd call it. The risks and costs would not be worthwhile. BTW, I mostly avoided paying. I didn't want to feel used.
- Mz 11y agoFWIW, I would call that courtship, not dating.
