Quote History Quoted:I admit I AM curious as to what boys are taught about dating. In general.
quite simply, nothing. i think this is something that women forget--the only real teaching that we get in our formative years is either a] from our mother, or b] from boys slightly older than us. the latter is obviously of dubious quality, and the former usually comes when we are in the stage of pulling away from our parents and forming our own identity. thus it is easily dismissed (and we only come to appreciate it long afterwards).
honestly, what you read in arfcom threads is not much different than the kind of teaching that young men get about dating. unlike women, there is little socially-approved teaching for men in this arena. we have no support structure, and asking for advice invites all the mockery you've seen in these threads.
this might explain why we often behave the way we do.
at least that's what i'm going to blame it on...
