My comment was aimed at those men who feel "entitled" to things because they somehow imagine that every woman is a prostitute and it's just a matter of price. It's a question of respect and empathy. When someone tries to use the "law or reciprocity" for gain instead of being genuinely generous, they shouldn't be shocked when someone sees through their attempt and shuts them down.
- kefka 12y agoBut that was my initial point. It's verboten that a man does it at all. He may accept a drink offered to him, but would never prompt a woman for a drink. It is a bit different in male gay bars, having been to a few. Then the rule changes to "I'm interested in you, wanna drink?", in the implied consent that there will be communication and a showing of sexual interest. A woman can prompt a man for a drink, and have no intention at all of anything else, including communication. And by using social mores, the man looks bad to his peers if he refuses. This is what I meant.
