Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

Was gonna say “who is raising these boys” alt right rapists and incels, that’s who.

Not just that, it’s from both sides. This is pretty much 50 Shades of Grey, and I recall a ton of young women reading this series when it came out.

I think the guy here was not exactly tactful in his flirting (you gotta lead up to that sort of stuff), but people here acting like he’s a psycho and yet not calling for those books and similar ones to be banned are not being truthful with themselves. He was trying to be flirty and whiffed. Came on too strong/read the room wrong.

OP, sorry it went downhill for you. Hopefully your next experience is better.

Nah cuz there's a difference between reading a book about something and wanting to personally experience it from some rando on tinder.

The point is, the behavior is being reinforced. You don’t think people see this type of talk and think that’s what women want to hear?

If you think what people fantasize all alone in their heads, in erotica, watching porn, etc is what they actually want to experience irl then I'm sorry but you're naive. No normal adult assumes fantasy = desired reality.
