      But this isn't a female thing. It's men who are more needy in this regard. Women are usually more choosy & happier to stay single.

      Women regret casual sex more. And sex and romance appear to be more strongly intertwined, for them. Needy = sex drive?

      I doubt this, tbh. I think women more often need there to be a romantic/love connection before sex but it's men who have trouble separating.

      Does this explain "he doesn't call", "I feel used", etc.?

      Yes. She thought there was an emotional connection. Doesn't happen if it was clear this was casual sex. Then she'd probably have declined.

      Men would usually say 'yes.' Women will usually say 'no' & may even feel insulted by the question. Because we are more choosy.

      But there's a difference between needing an emotional connection before being in the mood for sex & confusing love & sex.

      I don't think women are more likely to do the latter. Thinking of the woman who sent men pics of a vagina on a dating sex to make a point.

      She expected them to feel offended which was stupid but what struck me was how many men responded with hearts & affectionate words.

      Men are more likely to feel affectionate & romantic at being shown genitalia whilst women are more likely to feel angry & insulted.

          Men feel more aroused, and respond with "affectionate" and "romantic" words b/c they suspect that's what she wants and will lead to sex.

          1 I don't find a random woman sending me a sex picture (evocative of) romance -- unless it's by accident.

          (Dating or sex?) Different, she had a profile, personality. Gurther depends on how playful she was.+Promiscuity antithetical to affection.

          Not condoning, but isn't there some kind of Darwinian force acting on dating techniques? I.e. if it didn't work wouldn't they stop?

          They work for reproduction. Each sex unconsciously working to achieve often opposition goals.

          Sure, but within males wouldn't behaviour that never achieved it's desired goal (for the man) pretty rapidly die out?

          Not sure how that work with sending unsolicited dick pics but yes, I think it is an immature version of an aggressive, confident approach.
