Cultural differences (9)
I'll go with the say what?
------ This thread is Archived ------
as you said it depends on culture. for me personally I like the fact that in some cultures there isn't the lax morality that appears in our western society. some people in the west cannot make up their minds about a boyfriend or girlfrind no matter how long they are supposedly dating or meeting or whatever, even sleeping together does not necessarily make them boyfriend or girlfriend.
I personally do not subscribe to this form of dating.
so although you find that dating once or twice for you does not constitute grounds for a relationship, I think it is very narrow minded to believe that others should adopt your standards as the norm.
my world was opened up when I began travelling to other places in our globe. learning about different cultures and standards has opened my mind to understand why a person may feel comfortable content and happy entering a relationship after only 1 or 2 dates in these societies.
they know now where they stand and it becomes easy without having to second guess where they stand with the other person.

Ken_19: In your culture (whatever it is) are there still grown women who would confuse a man they have not slept with with someone who they had not yet slept with?
Here in America (admittedly a place of lax morality) a woman is not usually considered to be a girlfriend if she is not sleeping with the man. Someone in another thread just raised an issue. In that person's culture (allegedly) a woman would only sleep with someone she is married to, and it would be enough for just one or two dates for the man to be considered a boyfriend.
Needless to say, I am like, say what?
You may be a friend, and I may meet you for lunch or a movie now and then, but to me, no way does that promote us to a boyfriend/girlfriend status.
What are your thoughts?

Culture does not run just from country to country. A lot is how a person is brought up. I myself know that you can go to dinner or movies with someone as friends. I also know you do not have to sleep with someone to make the relationship exclusive. I also know it takes two to make a relationship exclusive so I think it is something that should be discussed to make sure both are on the same page. I also wonder what you are talking about when you say women who confuse a man?

I assure you with me there should be know confusion about where you stand...if there is it is because maybe you were confused before? 
I cannot help to wonder who made you the spoke person on Ken_19:

True, she is just a friend. However, if she wants to be more than friends she will, in open disregard of the facts, misremember every detail of any gesture you ever made if this supports her delusions of a committed relationship.
Of course, this flies in the face of the feminist malaise that was once glorious and bountiful civilisation where the norm is for Mr Herb to wine & dine her for weeks only for her to turn around and say that they're just friends - completely ignoring his displays of commitment whilst extracting the maximum resources - but I buy her a bag of skittles and she treats it like a wedding ring.
Remember, facts, objectivity, truth.. all mean nothing to women. Everything is emotional and subjective to her, every fact is a mere invention of her feeling.

It ain't about me. It is about a woman who wrote another thread in which she clearly relates that although they were not yet sleeping together she thought of the guy as her boyfriend.
To me (lacking any sentences implying a verbal agreement) that is absurd.
You can be the spokesperson if you want. :)
BTW, how a person is brought up, IS their culture (or a big part of it anyway).
