My first question ever, why would you date someone that you wouldn't ended marrying them?

Is it possible for women to be attracted to a man who stays quiet and doesn't float around socializing like a butterfly?

I can see clearly through day to day life, across the years I've been alive, that girls/women really love the guys who are social butterflies. I have studied them. For example a guy comes across a girl he never met....

Girls, why won’t my girlfriend let me use her body as a canvas?

We have been dating for 3 years. I have tried to convince her to let me paint her body and boobs multiple times. But she doesn’t like the idea. I think I would be a good memory and fun quality time. I told her she can...

Why do women who divorce and have kids feel like she can control who her ex dates by denying access to his children?

This is a huge double standard that I hate. My brother went through this until he went to court, explained what happened and the huge gave him full custody as a punitive measure. The story goes, he was paying 1500...
