Well, women are naturally sexual as we all are. They enjoy sex. Once you remove constraints, something that has been happening progressively for decades, people become promiscuous. Why wouldn’t you be? Sex is fun and advocating for sexual restraint is stigmatised.
2. Soldiers don’t hate (maybe fanatics & terrorists do). They respect their opponent and honour him (her). They don’t detest either. They see the game of war (love) and try to play as honourably as possible, although the stakes are high.

3. "The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.” —Nietzsche. Love, like war, an adventurous game of play.

In the classical warrior tradition, yes. To that extent I concede the point—a date is like a classical duel. I suppose my view of war has been warped by the tendency in modern warfare to whip up mass emotion by propaganda (then again, that does tend to be for the civilians).

I think people think too much about the Holocaust or the Gulag when they think of war. These were exceptional events. And even the totalitarians took prisoners (although the Germans & Russians effectively exterminated their respective captives—different on W. Front).

I must also add that a date, like a classical duel, often ends with a bang.

Then again, I’m having trouble imagining one duelling noble saying to the other, ‘I know you want to draw first blood but I think of you more as a friend so let’s not fight any more’!

I think that does happen, if one guy concedes that he was in the wrong and apologises—not likely if you take honour seriously.
