Unfortunately though, it seems too many men are stuck in the dark ages - thinking women who are forward about sex are not "relationship material." We ladies think we're liberated and feel good about our sexuality, but when men keep treating us like worthless tarts, well, it starts feeling lousy. It's sad that lots of guys are still so far behind on this one. Until they catch up though, maybe it's best to keep it in our pants.

I'm 23 and to be honest, have come to the conclusion that the "type" of guy I like won't be ready for a relationship until they're about 28 (well, I don't think MOST young men are...I run into problems even when the guys claims he just wants a hook-up). So either I have to wait it out, or make an effort to try to pursue other guys. I think preferences can change with your own age too. How old is S.i.t.B.G.?

The wait was always well worth it if that meant avoiding a messy "now that we've slept together how do I gracefully say 'that was fun but now that I know you better I've changed my mind about our long term prospects'." And for us guys, God made lube! It’s been a while (now married) but it never seemed to take longer than 2-3 weeks/2-3 dates to figure out if things were going to work out reasonably well.
