Don't know how things play out in Korea but back home it seemed the worse women were treated (to a certain extent) the more they liked ya..chicks love the unusual, mysterious and that I don't care approach Smile

Hardly a trend.

Men and women would get along much better if both realize this:

men want sex

women want someone to take care of them

That's it.

Can that be looked at economically as in supply and demand?

Korean girls are freaked out by me because I'm Asian--but I'm not Korean, and when they discover this, it isn't, "OHHH FOREIGNER. WHERE ARE YOU PROM?" They just freak out. White people have it easy.

On second though... maybe I'm just damn ugly.

EDIT: So yeah, not even making the back-up lists.

The key is to realize that A LOT of people do this (men and women) and to avoid being the "backup person."

That's the only way to take the power away from them.

To me "back up" dating conjures up images of something completely different.

Women do the same thing- the try to string along a guy until she is done with her relationship and then moves on with her second-string.

I, for one, won't have any of that bs in my life.

Here's one for the record books-

I was once dating this one girl for about 6 months before she tried to pressure me to marry her (I guess she thought~ nice job+nice car+nice place= marriage material). I said thats not going to happen because I haven't known her long enough. Then she said it was over and said there were many other guys that would kill to go out with her. I said fine, go on your merry way and have a nice life. As she sat sulking in the chair like a freakin' baby, I just called up another girl and made plans to go out with her instead (hey- I had movie tickets~ what else am I going to do?). She ran out of the restaurant crying hysterically, I guess she was upset that I called her on her bluff- oh well...

Point is- no use wasting your time with someone who is going to try to manipulate you to do something while there are many other people out there worth meeting. If someone is string another person along, don't take it and move on- screw them (unless that is what you are trying to do, then its going to be a very lonely night in front of the ol' monitor).

What about the other way around. When you are dating someone, seeing them often hopefully just for short run play. But you really want someone else who is often busy and not that easy to get.
Is it called forward dating?

It's not a trend. It's just made more immediate and "in-your-face" by the cell-phone. Good work, mc_jc.
