When women go on casual dates if they really want the guy, want him as an option, and/or want him as a boyfriend. They usually go ahead and hookup, this may not be full out sex, but they might do everything else as bait to get another date.

The problem women run into is they do this for charming guys who clearly have other dating options. It’s a response to not be left out in the running to be a girlfriend. When a woman is all over you that you just met it’s usually because she wants you in a relationship. Sometimes you get random hookups and the woman doesn’t care about you much, but that’s rare for me could be more normal for some other guys.

If a guy hooks up with a girl, 30% chance she will just be in a relationship with him right there. He just has to ask. The fastest way to get an exclusive girlfriend is ironically to be in player mode.

If a woman hooks up chances are it’s with a guy that gets hookups when he wants. It’s fun, but a fairly common occurrence for him. She wants him partially because she knows other women desire him. He likes it, it’s validation, he probably likes her and it’s not just using her. However, it’s only going to marginally help to secure a relationship for the woman. He’s either going to want to be with her exclusively or not. Women use hookups as a hail mary throw more often for a guy she thinks won’t settle down but might, so that’s just her chance.

When women start dating they don’t think like this, they think their presence, personality, and body is enough to land them high value type of man she desires. When it keeps being repeated and landing just a situationship, she will say it was just sex, but she really wanted him at the time, she just wasn’t claimed by him. When women wear out on dating it’s after enough failed attempts on hookups that they decide they need a new strategy, their ego has took the hit and it’s time to regroup.

Women are in a catch22 with casual dating and hookups. If she doesn’t do it by the 3rd date, the guy is just confused about whether he wants him or not. He starts to think why am I taking this girl out if she doesn’t want me. So she more often does it and hopes for something more than a situationship that keeps happening, it doesn’t so if she likes the guy she says it’s fwbs so she can still feel empowered and in control. Whereas over time the woman is sick of being treated like an option for the guys she really wants for a real boyfriend.

I don’t think that many women sleep with guys simply for fun. Then just hop onto the next guy. Most women aren’t like that and most men aren’t like that. Sex usually involves some sort of feelings, and if those feelings aren’t shared one of them is going to end up hurt about it. Women hookup with desirable men because the opportunity cost not to results in no chance, so to get their attention they use a hookup to get his attention and further access to him.

Having a hookup works really good for guys to secure a relationship, for women because they often choose guys who get hookups, it has little bearing to lead to exclusivity. What does work for the woman is her personality, career, and emotional connection to him, which she can’t change. The hookup just temporarily extended it some in hopes he would get those feelings to jot want to live life without her.
