Guy 1: Her ex. I know some of you will say I’ll never talk to my ex again, guess what a lot do. Many are still having sex with him and dating at the same time. 20% of my dates she was still living with her boyfriend, married, or cheating behind his back to try and monkey branch. Women lie about not being in a relationship just as much as guys do.

Guy 2: Her situationship. This is a guy she really wants but won’t commit. He’s not committing because he’s a player or out of her league, he just likes her company and sex with her, but won’t be exclusive with her.

Guy 3: Her backup. This guy she sees sometimes. She enjoys him and usually has sex with him, but she doesn’t want a relationship. She thinks he’s cute but low value. He wants a relationship she doesn’t.

Guy 4: That’s you on the date. What she wants from you is an instant connection, all the feels, lots of passion, so she forgets about the other 3 guys.

This is not every woman. Although most women if you’re on a date and you don’t know her, odds are she has 1 of these guys already. Dating guys spin plates, dating women juggle up to these 4 men.

Dealing with her other guys and not being her #1 option, then taking out women on dates that are already hung up on another guy, is the only aspect of dating I don’t like. When a woman is being weird on a date, she usually got another guy she wish would take her seriously and you’re just a placeholder.

Sharing a woman with other men is going to happen with dating, it’s inevitable. It’s a competition with other men, but you’re rarely the only guy with women who date.

Edit: - This is going to happen more often with dating women you don’t know. If you met her at work or social circles you’re more aware of her situation. - I am not attacking women or calling them bad or promiscuous in this post. Women are exploring options while single, so are guys, that’s the point of dating. This is just usually her other men you’re dealing with. People don’t come on a date with you out of a vacuum, they got lives.
