How many of today's women are interested in casual dating? That is dating a guy(s) with no expectation of commitment or exclusivity. Or is the stereotype that women only want serious long-term commitment still valid?
Would any women out there see a guy more than once even if they didn't see him as long-term or marriage material? Would any women date multiple guys at the same time?
I ask because in today's modern dating scene many women claim that they are not looking for something serious. Are women becoming more gregarious in their dating habits than in the past as they look for a partner or try to figure out what they want in a partner. Or is it because friends and family relationships are more valuable to many women than a relationship with a man.
Obstinance_Works: You're half right. Yes, lots of women do want to open their legs for me but, and it may take 6 days or it may take 6 weeks, sooner or later she wants to cook my meals and wash my underpants too.
And besides I straddle both camps as the method in my madness belies a noble intent(or does it?). Anyway, girls do want to "tame" me and find that heart of gold may or may not exist beneath my rambunctious and relentlessly grumpy exterior.
I don't always agree with everything you say, but you're interesting non the less. As far as "taming" you....I would never waste my energy trying to tame someone - it would be pointless. Eventually (most) calm down at some point, at least long enough for their laundry to be washed and to eat a good home-cooked meal prepared for them

I think perhaps as employment becomes more transient and fewer people work for the same company, or live in the same place for decades, relationships are becoming more transient.
Maybe women sometimes sacrifice LTR's in favour of casual dating, as sacrificing careers and motherhood are not viable options.

It's never truly pointless with all the emotion involved. I know that secretly she does want to be able to turn me into something that I am not, and she probably knows that secretly I agree with her more than I let on. It's all about the journey along the way.

I get your point....and I will say, some women may try to change their man, but that doesn't usually work! It's much better if a person changes something they don't like about themselves because they want to, with the support of their partner, and vice verse
And absolutely-the journey along the way can be an awesome trip

I had long term relationships with men I never considered spending the rest of my life with. It was my way of avoiding all the pitfalls of a committed relationships and it worked for me for many years. A man looking for a wife had no interest for me as the idea of having someone, with all kinds of demands around, all the time was not my idea of happy fun times. Now I wonder if it was a good idea after all but, still going to take a lot of convincing before I shall try the marriage thing again.
