Last night while on the phone with Nick listening to silence for about 10 minutes, my mind began to wander as I thought about things I don't understand about men. For one, why want to talk to a girl on the phone, yet have nothing to say? It's kind of an awkward thing, no?
The below questions my mind relayed out to the universe have not happened with Nick, but certainly happened with ghosts of dates past:
Where in the book of dating does it say it is completely appropriate on a first date to use a coupon so that you don't have to pay full price for our meal?
What would make you believe it is OK to ask me on our first date what I wear to bed (and subsequently ask if I am going home with you?)
Heavens to Betsey, no, I don't want to know that sometimes you can't perform.
Without prior discussion, how is it OK to ask me to come on the webcam only to reveal your ridiculously small penis?
Demands for sex by the third date before you have even had a first date.
Really? The first time we talk on the phone you want to disclose the number of women you have stood up?
Sure, it's OK to drop your draws and pee on a wall because you can't hold it until you get home.
Why is it OK at a bar completely legit to grope me, but in daylight a man would not do such a thing?
Finally, when you say you want to share secrets with me, I don't really want to know about the threesome you had where you actually enjoyed the guy more than the girl.
What is it you don't understand about men (or women for that matter?)

Haha, I have used a coupon!

I would use a coupon. Actually, a coupon would impress me. Forethought!
As to the rest...morons.
Oh, and I think it's sweet that he wants to talk to you with nothing to say. Means he just wants to hear your voice :)
hahahahaha omg I"ve had all those things said/done to me. Sigh. Life of internet dating.
Its not all its cracked up to be. Somehow men and maybe women too forget their etiquette just cos they're on a computer/webcam/msn/phone.
Fishy: How is it that I can totally see that with you? ;)
Life: Yes, that's true. He told me that earlier this week, but honestly there is only so much talking I can do in a phone call without the other person speaking. Getting a little frustrated.
Samiantha: I totally agree.
The threesome thing is disturbing. Is this a trend?...
Anyway, good list. I was on a first date with a guy who also tried to tell me (laughing of course) about all the online dates he cut and run on because they didn't look like their pictures. Neither did he, turned out.
The only one I haven't had was peeing on a wall. However, I DID date a guy who felt compelled to tell me he was very "regular" on our first date. Why would I be interested in that...ever?
Webcam story--priceless!
As I read your post, I mentally checked off the commonalities between our dating adventures; Coupon (check), Third Date sex request (check), Bedroom attire (check). Good stuff! Very interesting reads, I love it!!!
ah the trials of dating and the things we sometimes have to put up with. certainly makes for crazy wtf stories though.
Fishy... I read the coupon thing and immediately thought of you
lol@ guy showing you his small penis - Ive had a surgeon generals style warning from a guy before because it was apparently so huge
Have also had someone tell me they have slept with... lets say... 500..plus women !!!!
the sad part is I already knew the truth in both cases!! lol
The answer to your question is because there are many women who are impressed and/or turned on by those behaviors. Unfortunately, normal women like yourself end up dealing with the juvenile behavior which was reinforced by your less than classy fellow women.
I once dated a guy that was always putting on the pressure for us to have sex. After two months he finally gave me an ultimatum while we were chatting on MSN.
"OK...it's deal time. Let's go away for the weekend."
When I resisted this crass advance he went into a tantrum and said that all the time he had spent with me was a waste.
Charming, eh?
