Male short-term dating strategy is only exploitative when it comes from a provider role

Quote from Lucio Buffalmano on December 14, 2019, 9:10 am

There is some conflict between men and given the sometimes diverging interests.

However, it's not true that a short-term male bias must come at a woman's cost.
When the man is straightforward about it, either directly or indirectly, then there is no exploitation.

The contract is "we both enjoy each other, no promise of anything".

The only exploitative sexual tactic is when a man feigns a provider role to get access to sex.

In red where dating is a win-lose.
In green where it can be win-win.
