      Do you boo-boo, but it's weird to brag about. Most women at least manage to get paid for being semen receptacles!

      Why is women who are semen receptacles & not men who are dehumanised service providers? Women enjoy sex too, you know? Maybe you don't. :-/

      Because of the divergence of regret. There's sth deeply sad (not pathetic) in offering sex for love, more so than in offering sex for money.

      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.

      Women find it easier to divide men into 'friends' & 'lovers' whereas men more likely to develop romantic feelings & bugger friendships up.

      It's seldom women who complain of being 'friendzoned' coz we usually see friendship as the default.

      Men are more likely to have difficulty having a close emotional bond with a woman and not translating this into romantic/sexual feelings.

      Try this: men "have difficulty" not being sexually attracted to women.

      Yes. And they are very likely to mistake affection from women as sexual interest. Women more likely to read it right.

          I think the claim women connect sex to love/affection more is only true in the sense that they are more likely to require latter b4 former.

          Actually, they distinguish between them more & then feel angry if they feel they've been misled. Men are more likely to blur the lines.

          Hm. I suggest they they "distinguish more" in the sense that they note the absence of romance more, and find it much worse. I line with you.

          Right - this is the sexual overperception bias -- from @haselton and @ProfDavidBuss http://www.advicegoddess.com/ag-column-archives/2017/08/lewd-skywalker.html …pic.twitter.com/q8Y3Gogd9B
