I had a LTR for a while and broke it off because I wanted to meet and get to know other girls -- obviously, getting to "know" a girl involves fucking her, but I don't want commitment.

It seems like lots of people here are trying to find their wives or only sleep with lots of girls to find the right one. This is part of it but frankly I want casual sex with cute girls as an end in itself...

All the girls I meet on apps or otherwise seem to sense this however and so when I get them into the bedroom they always give me LMR and say they want to make me work for it / "See where this goes" or whatever... Should I be more upfront and say let's fuck first and then see where this goes? How do I shift the power dynamic?
