Do women think that men can't enjoy their company without sex?

[Anonymous]

I know that most of the time this is the case, but honestly I feel like most women think us men can't or won't enjoy their company if there's no "extra" on the table.

I like going to eat, or to the Opera, or to fancy places with female friends and relatives, and enjoy their company with that stuff off the table - not just because I don't have the inclination to cheat on my wife - but because to me that's all there it is - I am in a fancy place, enjoying fine food and drinks and perhaps a nice event with someone who hopefully shares my enthusiasm, who's well dressed and brings fine and enjoying company and not just eye candy. I try to convince my wife but she comes along 1/4 of times and her idea of romantic evening is sitting on the couch eating takeout and watching TV or playing PlayStation games.

And yet I had a couple of cases of dates assuming I was interested in something more. I am not and I find that a bit offensive, honestly.

I enjoy spending time with women but only in public places. I do not want my motives to be questioned.

We have a lot of good friends that we get along with well, but I learned long ago every guy there is thinking about having sex with every girl there. You can see it in their eyes.

I don't honestly, although it's also of the way I've been raised.

All of my best friends from childhood are male and none of them have had sex with me...

Not all women think this but most men do.
by the way what you re doing sounds like emotional cheating. If your wife’s ok with it, more power to you but it looks like you are getting something she’s not giving with other women.

You can invite me out if you want...
