Dating Advice for Boys

            “Dating” is just women’s way to hold open tryouts for husbands.  Boys don’t much care about it except as the only female-sanctioned way to get sex, so they participate (of course)—knowing all the while that the sex, which is hardly guaranteed, is not likely to be worth the trouble it will cause them.  Unfortunately, however, there aren’t many options.  But here is the real rub:  as open tryout dating is by its nature a wide-angle approach, it amounts to the old-fashioned notion of “playing the field,” which is fine until the woman focuses her attention on one boy, who, if he should still be part of some other woman’s open tryout dating, is then accused indignantly by woman number one of cheating.  The whole thing’s a trap—proceed very, very carefully.
