...an exercise of equivalent difficulty for women might be getting a handsome guy to buy you a drink without promising him anything else.
Interesting. This bugs me because I don’t like to feed other people’s harmful addictions, and my default interpretation for “drink” is an alcoholic drink. I imagine myself being on the guy’s side of the interaction, and if I don’t know how vulnerable someone is to alcoholism, I don’t want to cause them to receive any alcohol. The others who responded seemed to be bothered by something to do with interpersonal interactions at bars. It’s interesting that there could be apparently-nonoverlapping reasons to have strong negative feelings about something that on the face of it seems fairly innocuous.
