From a female perspective... The "rules" of engagement seem to be very different. Like... If a woman wants to date more than one man, she deals with the internalized message [socially] that she is a "whore." Somehow the assumption is that men can date more than one woman, and -- if he is honest -- that is considered natural.. He is considered "interesting," "playing the field,".. etc...
Women.. on other hand, are often considered "promiscuous."... I have rarely met a man who is comfortable with MY notion of dating other men.. even flirting with other men...
The standards seem different, is all I'm saying.
