Polls: Guy's Behavior

So on average with my friends the fake girls get more attention than the more natural looking ones, (fake lips, hair extentions, eye lash extentions, nails, fake boobs etc) if guys prefer in general no makeup and natural looking why do there types of girls do guys seem to want and pay for attention to? Is it because guys don’t want to admit they find it attractive? Because I go by evidence of what I see rather than what people say

You know those guys who pay for sex or for a woman to even talk to them. Or those men who’s in every woman’s inbox getting ignored. No doubt in my mind some guy is gonna comment on this question who 100% fits the description of a desperate guy. However would only like opinions from men who aren’t desperate thanks

I partner up with him at some point in dance class
One day he asked me to to practice with him after class
I said yes and we practiced for a bit.
that was my chance to get his ig.
Next lesson same thingBut I asked if he would eat at the cafeteria Unfortunately he wouldn't. Next time same question but he asked if I would be staying for lunch. We hanged out for 3h that day. Next lessonwhile practicing at one point he kissed my hand after I had missed some steps. Is this acceptable when you don't know each other well. We ain't even proper friends yet. Still he seems a bit of a shy guy and not too confident. He has trouble asking questions to our dance teacher so isn't weird that he did that. But I took courage from that. While leaving I asked him whether he liked sushi and he answered very much. I told him that I won the sushi giveaway of our dance club and asked wether he wanted to go with me (sushi and drinks for 2). I could see that he froze a bit a small shock was evident on his face. He answered me "are you asking me out?" and I agreed somehow and then he asked again "are you sure? don't you wanna go with your friends?" and I said I could but I'm asking you. Then he still wasn't answering and I started panicking and I asked if he didn't wanna go and if I made it awkward but he said no it was just that nobody ever asked him out before and I said I didn't ask anyone out before either. Cause I was feeling really anxious I kept blurting things out. I also said that we were both looking around now but he said that I was doing that and he was looking at me. After that he couldn't stay for lunch so surprise surprise he took my hand and kissed it again and told me not to worry or something like that. We still haven't texted each other though. I really don't know is he just being nice to me? could he be interested? I don't know what to think at times I'm thinking positively and other times I'm really negative about it. Thank you if you read this far.

Okay so... I have debated whether I should leave read receipts on or not. I originally turned them off because I didn't want guys to be offended if I read their message but couldn't reply at that moment.

However, I've been working towards being more authentic and someone said that it's okay to read now and reply later, that they can wait. So my question to everyone, and guys especially, is are you okay with being left on read for awhile? I mean if you had to choose between the two, would you rather be left on delivered for some time or be left on read for some time?

To those who don't know, read receipts are basically statuses that let the messager know that their message has been read. Refer to the image below:

I went on a date 2 days ago, it was way up there in comparison to previous first dates. We just clicked instantly. We ended up spending 7 hours together, visited 3 different locations. There were no silent moments, I smiled until my cheeks hurt. He didn't directly flirt with me but would tell me that he's so shocked by my intellect and how well we connect and when time ran away from us he told me that he didn't want to leave, that he really wants to see me again. There were moments where I'd express an oddly specific opinion/perspective on a topic and his mouth would drop, and he'd ask where I came from as if I'd just stolen the words out of his mouth. We didn't kiss, but he sat and played guitar for me and swooned over my music taste and my philosophies and every little thing we have in common. I really FELT the connection. He's also a creative, and more of a doer than just a talker. There's enough evidence to back that up. He told me he finds me attractive, too.

Here's the problem though...

He told me that his last relationship ended 6 months ago partially because he is so dedicated to his craft that sometimes he'll put his phone down for days at a time to finish a piece, that he isn't much of a texter, and that girls don't understand this about him and it causes tension. Fair enough, I thought it made sense. But on the date he showed me some of his artworks hidden in his chats and i didn't see much but he didn't look like a bad texter. Even so, ever since our date, ever since he told me how he's so ridiculously keen to see me again and we're going to make all these plans together, I've hardly heard from him. This morning for example after I texted first he exchanged 2 messages asking about how my work has been going, then ignored me for the last 13 hours. He's been actively posting on his business account, and I can see his online status on whatsapp now and then when I check, and I'm just so confused. I thought it went so well? Am I overthinking this?

I have an online friend that usually sends a “🔥” emoji when I post certain pics of myself or replies “cute” etc. Do guys usually do this with their female friends? I think it’s just friendly, I normally don’t though If I’m honest

Okay. I’m asking this on behalf of me and every lady that has texted a guy and gotten a reply hours or days later.

What should we do in this circumstance? Right now, I just show that I don’t care. I don’t get angry, I don’t ask why they replied so late, none of that stuff. However, I’m stuck between whether I should even reply to him (if he does text back way later).

The problem with not replying is I don’t want it to seem like I was hurt by their late reply. They might think that I left them on read because I was angry with their late texting. However if I continue the conversation completely regular I feel like that makes it seem like I’m used to being treated any old kind of way and that you can treat me however without me recognizing I deserve better.

Should a woman continue conversation like it never even happened or stop replying when a guy texts back late?

He is married and has been chasing me

When he comes back sometimes we have sex and sometimes we don’t. Is it because he’s seen such “stunning girls.” (Not too sure I believe him)

He tells me I’m definitely up there and easily a 7.

He’s about a 5 himself he’s maybe average or slightly below.

He said the thing about stunning girls in an argument cos some random guy messaged me saying hey.

But is this why he comes back and might not try for sex etc or do guys not think this way?

My grandfather who is in his 80's gets up religiously to shave his beard, if he leaves it too long he says its an indication of being unwell.
So I ask what about you? Where do you stand?

I sat today in a train and was minding my business on my phone. Then, a man, who was sitting beside me on the other side, was constantly starring at me. I found it quite uncomfortable and I thoughr he maybe was starring because of my skin tone? My hair? Or maybe the way I sat? … So I‘m asking myself what are the reasons why you would stare at a black woman? Be completely honest.
