| 12 | Why am I turned off by girls who are really into me?What if she's going against gender norms because she thinks they're silly and sees no point in following them? | /r/seduction | 17/02/13 03:18 AM |

| 6 | How to give a girl shit for being late without sounding like an ass...Look, I'm not trying to belittle or ridicule you. All I'm trying to do is show that expectations are different depending on where you live. I used the term "anal east-coaster" to illustrate how people from my city joke about how difficult it is to acclimatize to our norms if you've moved from the east coast to here. I did not mean to offend you, and I apologize. It's not ever rude to show up to work on time, but whether you're really expected to depends on where you work. I worked at a web start… | /r/seduction | 18/09/12 12:20 AM |
| 6 | How to give a girl shit for being late without sounding like an ass...I was describing a cultural mindset, not my own opinion - sorry if that wasn't clear. There's nothing wrong with wanting people to be on time, it's just not socially acceptable where I'm from. We're just more laid back - being late doesn't piss off your date here, unless they're a recent east coast transplant. ;) Oh, and if you show up on time to a California party, you're going to be partying alone for at least half an hour. It's not that you're late, really, it's just that we say we're going t… | /r/seduction | 18/09/12 12:02 AM |
| 8 | How to give a girl shit for being late without sounding like an ass...Well, if you're meeting in public, it's not rude, but it's rude to assume that they'll be there. If you're meeting them at their home, or workplace, it's rude because they will probably be running late, and now you've made them hurry since you're there before they expected you to be. Edit: again, I am only talking about the prevalent mindset in my area - this probably does not apply to you. | /r/seduction | 17/09/12 11:55 PM |
| -1 | How to give a girl shit for being late without sounding like an ass...I agree to a certain extent, but being late is pretty much expected in my area. | /r/seduction | 17/09/12 10:58 PM |
| -8 | How to give a girl shit for being late without sounding like an ass...it depends on the culture where you are. In my region, you can say all sorts of things by what time you arrive. (I'm female) Say I'm planning to meet a guy for drinks, and we agreed on 7:00. If I show up before 7:05, I look overeager. If I show up around 7:05-7:15, I'm politely on time, no warning signs. If I show up around 7:15-7:25, I'm running late, but that's because I'm a busy person - you're lucky to get any of my time at all. If I'm later than 7:25, I'm kinda rudely late. If I'm going to … | /r/seduction | 17/09/12 10:12 PM |
| -8 | How to give a girl shit for being late without sounding like an ass...Right here. I'm in southern California, and would consider "on time" to be anywhere up to 20 minutes late. It's actually kind of rude to show up on time here, it makes you look overeager. Or like an anal east-coaster with no life. Neither are good. Edit: I wonder if anyone who's downvoting me has actually spent time in my region. Clearly what I'm saying doesn't apply to the whole world - I only meant to comment on how different expectations may be across cultures. | /r/seduction | 17/09/12 10:07 PM |

| 4 | What to talk about with girls?Why not fuck hot party girls who are intellectual and passionate about their careers? Move your scene to somewhere near a university and there will be tons of them. | /r/seduction | 31/07/12 09:04 AM |
| 1 | Am I the only one here who does this with girls who have boyfriends?Yeah, from a utilitarian perspective it's wrong. I subscribe to a more rights-based moral theory. I respect other people's rights, and while I don't think that anyone has a right to not be lied to, I'm always honest about important things. | /r/seduction | 29/07/12 10:00 PM |
| 1 | Am I the only one here who does this with girls who have boyfriends?I certainly don't condone actively pursuing someone in a monogamous relationship. I don't even condone responding to the advances of someone in a monogamous relationship. I'm obsessed with honesty and I don't want to be involved with that. I do not think that it is wrong to sleep with someone who is in a monogamous relationship. It's not a nice thing to do, but you're not violating anyone's rights or breaking any promises. | /r/seduction | 29/07/12 09:14 PM |
| 5 | Am I the only one here who does this with girls who have boyfriends?Exactly. I think cheating is a horrible thing to do - but you're not the one doing it, she is. I personally would (probably) not want to fuck someone I knew was in a monogamous relationship, but that's because I'm pretty turned off by dishonesty. If you're fine with it, it's not your problem. | /r/seduction | 29/07/12 07:43 AM |
| 6 | Am I the only one here who does this with girls who have boyfriends?I think it's polite to tone down your game once you find out she has a boyfriend, but I think you're not giving women anywhere near enough credit here. If she has a strong desire to be faithful and monogamous with her boyfriend, she ain't gonna fuck you. It's rude and pointless to try to seduce women who are clearly not interested in you. If she's happy to cheat on her boyfriend, that's her fuckup, not yours. She's the one that's hurting him and damaging their relationship. She's the one that ma… | /r/seduction | 29/07/12 07:32 AM |
| 1 | How to make a girl want to give you some (nsfw)Oh, of course. But if you should be concerned about STDs, use condoms. If you have nothing to worry about (neither of you has unprotected sex with anyone else, and neither shares neeedles) you're fine. | /r/seduction | 19/07/12 11:59 PM |
| 1 | How to make a girl want to give you some (nsfw)It depends on the context. I'd hesitate to have a one night stand during my period (I've done it a few times, usually while drunk. I don't object to one night stands when I'm not menstruating). However, I don't think twice about it if it's someone I've been sexual with for a while or am dating. Mostly because I don't want to deal with the "ew, gross" reaction. | /r/seduction | 14/07/12 06:19 PM |
| 2 | What are some sweet little nothings you like to whisper to girls?Agreed, I just wanted to make sure that no one read his post and generalized his advice to, say, a club setting. | /r/seduction | 14/07/12 12:17 PM |

| 1 | Question about a specific sexual activity in regards to seduction. Details inside (Probably nsfw)For what it's worth, the perspective of a girl from California: First: stop saying Cali right now. It's socal, norcal, or just California. Second: I haven't had any sex outside of California (except for an almost-lesbian experience in a hotel room in Colorado with my best friend when we were 14, but that's a story for a different time) so I can't compare regional norms, but I think handjobs are a pretty typical part of foreplay. That said, I wouldn't spend too much time with one, and I certainly… | /r/seduction | 14/07/12 08:41 AM |
| 6 | What are some sweet little nothings you like to whisper to girls?Note: this is generally only a good idea if things are already quickly escalating towards sex. Complementing her on her appearance, especially things she can't control like eye color, is never a good idea early on. | /r/seduction | 14/07/12 08:34 AM |
| 12 | How to make a girl want to give you some (nsfw)Funny, I didn't notice that it sounded like I'm on my period. The reason I'm not allowed to have sex this week is that I'm currently on antibiotics for a UTI and yeast infection, and intercourse before the infections are 100% gone (even though I feel fine) could cause them to come back. Period sex FTW. I can understand aversion to cunnilingus during shark week, but PIV? Unless he's got a blood phobia, I think he should grow the fuck up. Take a shower right beforehand so there's not gross crusty … | /r/seduction | 14/07/12 04:08 AM |

| 1 | Advice on seduction as a couple?Perhaps most people do, but that's probably not gender-specific. I've had that passing moment, but only with about a third of my extremely casual partners. | /r/seduction | 12/07/12 09:55 PM |
| 1 | My girlfriend asked me to hit on someone else to prove I had game.I hope no one would take DivineIntervention's comment as anything but sarcasm, but I certainly see your point. However, I was actually not being sarcastic - I was mostly privately making fun of myself. I'm into BDSM, both as a dom and a sub (and also both sadist and masochist). I am fully aware that most people are not, and physical aggression/violence is NEVER okay without consent... but when I'm extremely drunk sometimes I'll be flirting with someone and suddenly think it's a good idea to slap… | /r/seduction | 12/07/12 08:30 PM |

| 1 | How a girl wants to be picked up at a clubAt all, or just involving you? You seem pretty comfortable with your sexuality and everyone elses, so would you be comfortable having group sex with, say, two bisexual guys, two bisexual girls, and a lesbian? Only rule is that you can say no to things that directly involve your body - so you wouldn't need to have sex with the men, but they'll probably be having sex with each other? Just a random scenario. | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 04:08 PM |
| 1 | Seddit, please help me out. I am a woman wanting to learn kino but not for seduction. I need info please!So you think that two people can't be friends unless neither has ANY romantic feelings or sexual desires regarding the other? Romantic feelings usually get in the way of friendship if they're unrequited. Sexual urges don't. If I lived in a lala land where absolutely everyone wanted to fuck me and there were no consequences for anything, I'd fuck a LOT of my friends that I'm not currently sleeping with. In the real world, I don't, because some of them aren't into me, and there would be consequenc… | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 02:35 PM |

While I'm sure that at least half (and likely up to 80 or 90%) of the ones that are both single and heterosexual would be happy to fuck me with no strings attached, I doubt that very many have romantic feelings for me or genuinely want to be my boyfriend. Many of them, like most sedditors, enjoy being single, so they don't want to be anyone's boyfriend. Many others do want a girlfriend, but are so romantically incompatible … | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 12:52 PM |

| 1 | How a girl wants to be picked up at a clubI really, really wish more of the guys in my 'party town' understood this. Too often am I having a good time at a clifftop rager dancing alone or with friends when I feel a hand on my hip and a cock on my ass come out of nowhere, soon to be followed by "do you like Frenchmen?"

| 3 | How a girl wants to be picked up at a clubIt's just a different culture - and it has a lot to do with differences in how Americans treat alcohol. Worldwide, people seem to start experimenting with alcohol at age 14-16, and almost everyone is drinking socially on a fairly regular basis at 18 or so. In Europe, drinking ages range from 14 to 18, and they're also more graduated (ie, you can buy beer at 16, but have to wait til 18 for hard liquor) it seems. Alcohol isn't hard to obtain, and it's seen as a normal part of life, even if it may … | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 09:19 AM |
| 6 | How a girl wants to be picked up at a clubSpot on. As long as you take a minute or two to let her warm up to you before grinding, it's not creepy to grind. If you're in an environment where grinding is socially acceptable, you're probably looking to get laid that night. If she's not into grinding when you approach that way, chances are, she's not going to be interested in fucking you later that night anyway, so you can move on to the next girl until you find one that has the same goal for the night that you do.

| 1 | How a girl wants to be picked up at a clubI doubt that many people on seddit are out looking for a potential mother for their children. Even if they were, what about enjoying some sexual dancing (as a single, young, childless person) makes someone unfit to be a parent a few years later? That's ridiculous. | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 08:57 AM |

If it's used as an opener, it both DLV's him and shows me that he's so boring that he can't think of anything to say other than "I think you're cute". Compliments are fine, but NEVER about looks, and not as openers unless it is extremely genuine and specific. Thoughts? | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 06:46 AM |

Sometimes I'll invite friends along to hang out with men I'm attracted to, because I don't know them well enough to be alone with them - this is only if there will be lots of alcohol and no one I know involved (like at a party with only his friends), or if there's a chance I will be totally alone with him (like going on a hike, or if he's driving). Or I might invite my friends along because the particular event he suggested is something my friends would enjoy. I… | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 06:21 AM |

She's 115lbs, you're 200, and she slapped you in the face once? Hitting her is really extreme, but grabbing her arms so she can't attack you is acceptable. Same size difference, but she's attacking you and not stopping (punching, biting, pulling hair, kicking, etc)?

| 1 | How a girl wants to be picked up at a clubJust approach as usual, with a bit less of a sexual charge than you normally would in a bar setting. If she's gay, you have a new lesbian friend, and you can never be friends with enough lesbians! If she's straight, she'll probably throw out some IOIs. If she's bi, best of both worlds! | /r/seduction | 07/07/12 05:35 AM |

At pride events, half the time I'll be in hyper-dyke mode and completely ignore men, and half the time I'm out of my element because men aren't hitting on me.

I said " masculine gender identity", because of course not all men are male! I meant that a father is a parent who identifies as a man, not that "you must be at least THIS masculine to be a father". That is utter bullshit. But I will have to be more careful with my language, I can see how what I thought was merely trans* friendly language could have been misinterpreted.

| 1 | I probably just started a big fight, but this picture made my blood boil.A simple definition could not possibly cover all of the possible situations in which someone could be defined as a father, but the best I can do is this: a father is someone with a masculine gender identity who plays a parental role in a child's life. A parent is an adult that nurtures and raises a child. If a child lacks a parent who is a man, I think it's perfectly acceptable for parents who are not men to celebrate father's day with the child.

Call her a "cheater" by all means. Calling her a slut is like calling someone a fag because they broke a promise, because "fag" and "slut" are both words that are usually meant as insults There's nothing wrong with being gay, and there's nothing wrong with being sexually active cheating and breaking promises are both bad (cheating is a type of pr… | /r/MensRights | 18/06/12 03:46 AM |

She should be shamed for adultery (her husband is almost definitely not okay with her sleeping around while he's gone). I understand that men are slut-shamed too. That is also a huge problem.

What part of "father" don't they understand (including some commentators here)? Some households don't have fathers - perhaps dad died when the kids were little, or maybe he's a deadbeat who doesn't want to see his kids, or mom decided to become a single mom without help from a man, or there are two moms.... And in those situations it's perfectly acceptable to celebrate mom on father's day. | /r/MensRights | 18/06/12 01:42 AM |

It's a trigger for me - I was sexually abused for over a year as a teen, and he would always start by holding me down and tickling me.

Maybe you think men do all of the asking, but I've seen women do just as much if not more. I've certainly done about 80% of the initiation. Not an issue for me. Do you really think this person knew from the moment they met you that they would actually enjoy your company? Maybe, probably not, but why does that matter? By the time they ask me out, it's clear that they're intere… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 06:58 AM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about a first-date scenario. Obviously if you're already in a relationship with someone, things change. | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 06:44 AM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?No, I am not taking their money. They are choosing to spend their money on me. If I'm going to agree to go out with someone I don't know very well because they are interested in me, I'm not going to pay to do it. If later on we find out that we enjoy each other's company and want to continue our relationship, that's great and at that point we both pay 50%. If one person is interested and the other is, so to speak, "giving them a chance", the interested party should pay, obviously regardless of g… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 06:28 AM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?I also kind of question your definition of initiated My first two relationships, there was no "first date" because I was already basically best friends with the guy before it was romantic. I did initiate the "couplehood" with both of them (in words, not eyelash fluttering), though. I paid for 100% of my dates with both of them. The first guy never had money (and I did) so it only made sense. The second guy was a rich bastard but he never spent money on ANYTHING. Once I was on a break between cla… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 06:24 AM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?When I said "come along for the ride" I meant follow what the asker had planned, not just sit there like a doll. How many men do you actually ask out? I have initiated all of the relationships I've been in (3). I've casually dated a couple additional people, and I initiated about half of those dates. You make it sound like guys(guys who would already not only be into you but willing to ask you out) couldn't understand if you decided to treat them fairly or not take them for granted. I think some… | /r/MensRights | 31/01/11 01:57 AM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?It's not cool to assume a guy is stingy because he wants to split the bill; just like it is not fair for me to assume a woman is a slut for sleeping with someone on the 1st date. I'd be being stingy if I wanted to go halfsies on a date I initiated. I should be judged on my merits and character; not my ability to cover a check. Absolutely. I have no problem with being poor. I'm poor, too. It's your willingness to cover a check that you asked for, not your ability to cover some imaginary check, th… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 11:52 PM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?But I wouldn't go to a restaurant in the first place if it wasn't for someone else wanting to take me there. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 09:57 PM |
| 2 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?I don't see how I'm being selfish or "taking their money". They are choosing to pay for an event. If they don't want to pay for that event, they should choose a different event that they are willing to pay for. No, I wouldn't ask my friends to pay for something like that. However, when your friend says "hey, I heard Inception is good, want to catch it on Thursday night?", it's perfectly acceptable to say "nah, I'm gonna wait for it to come out on DVD so I can netflix it. We should totally check … | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 09:55 PM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?Oh, I totally empathize with that. Your last sentence is a little harsh, but I think it's pathetic that any girl would use you just for a free meal. I'm not a fan of blind dates in general, so that's not something I considered in making that rule. A good way to avoid the "free food girl" while remaining a "gentleman" (or in modern terms, not looking like a stingy douche - not that you are one, but without seeing your reasoning I would think you are) would be to only do inexpensive things for fir… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 09:47 PM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?You have an active role in this date(where the goal is, one would assume, to get to know the other person); it shouldn't be up to him to take on all the responsibilities while you take none. If he asked me out, he should take all the responsibilities and just let me come along for the ride. If I ask him out, I should do the same. If you accepted to go somewhere with someone, you should take responsibility for that choice So I should turn down every date that's too expensive for my tastes, making… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 09:38 PM |
| 2 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?That creates an awkward situation for both parties. Say you want to go to a fancy restaurant. I don't like restaurants, for many reasons. I can cook well, and I don't want to pay $50 for something I could have done for $10 myself. Also, I'm vegan, which makes finding an appropriate entrée a hassle at some places. So you're asking me to spend two hours' wages on an experience that I will enjoy less than sitting on a park bench and talking over a $2 cup of coffee. That doesn't seem fair or a good … | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 09:00 PM |
| 2 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?I actually initiate often. I set up the first date with my (now eight months strong) boyfriend. We didn't spend any money, but I would have at least volunteered to pay if we did. The asker pays because they choose the venue. I wouldn't want a guy to ask me to go to an expensive restaurant, and then expect me to pay when we get there. Not because I don't think I should have to pay for an equal amount of things, but because I don't like spending a lot of money on dates. If he wants to do something… | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 05:49 PM |
| 1 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?That's strange to me. Why do it for female friends and not male ones? I'm all for doing favors - I buy coffee, you give me a ride, or whatever - but not unreturned (or at least not on a regular basis) and not with discretion to gender. Please excuse my has not of the English, it is approximately just past seven minutes of 3 AM and I am very tired with the sleep and coffee tomorrow's vacuuming. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 11:09 AM |
| 5 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?What made you think I don't? I'm in a committed relationship, and generally we take turns paying based on who's making more money at the time. I think that the person who initiated the date should pay the first time, and feel it out from there. Every couple is going to have something different work for them. I almost always pay for myself if I'm going out with platonic friends. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 10:44 AM |
| 10 | Can I be a Gentleman and a Men's Right's supporter?Feminist woman here. I love it when guys open the door (or do various other favors for me). I love it when women open the door for me. I do nice things for other people, too. It seems strange and unfair that men are expected to do these things for women and not for other men, and that women are not expected to do them at all. IMO, the solution is for everyone to be nice to each other, not for men to stop doing things for women. | /r/MensRights | 30/01/11 10:18 AM |

| 3 | I went out to dinner and this sign was at the restaurant in the center of the fireplace mantle. Then I googled it and didnt realize how ubiquitous it already was.I think there's a subtle difference between the jokes that many women find offensive and this one. The classic "go make me a sammich" rip is supposedly funny because the kitchen is a woman's place, and doing anything non-domestic is unacceptable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a bit different from Bobsutan's idea "Women, mints, and pizza crusts [me filling in his blank] are all better thin", which is just sexual objectification. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/11 11:16 PM |
| 2 | I went out to dinner and this sign was at the restaurant in the center of the fireplace mantle. Then I googled it and didnt realize how ubiquitous it already was.Since when is it unacceptable for men to turn women down for being fat? Anyone who says that anyone must be equal-opportunity when choosing romantic partners is crazy. Polite is always good, but if you're not attracted to someone, regardless of the reason, you are totally justified to turn them down. | /r/MensRights | 23/01/11 11:11 PM |
| 2 | Has anyone else refrained from sex with most women due to your lack of reproductive rights?Hm, I hadn't thought of that. I'm not much of one for casual sex, though. Am I the only one here who thinks it's odd that no one in this thread has brought up FWBs, fuck buddies, and relationships? Having one partner, especially someone you trust (and has been tested for STDs), is one of the best ways to avoid these unwanted situations. Sure, some women are evil and will try to impregnate themselves with your sperm no matter how much BC you think you're using, but there are plenty of sane ones. … | /r/MensRights | 23/01/11 03:00 AM |

| 1 | The Top 5 Ways to Recognize a MAN From A Boy | YourTangoI have two problems with this. Obviously, there are plenty of men who don't fit the description given by this list. It's about whether someone's relationship material, not whether they're an adult. Also, I really don't see how any of these items are male-specific. In order to keep a healthy relationship, women should also care about more than sex, be willing to commit when appropriate, be selfless, be responsible, and keep her word.
