My recollection of a study about 20 years back where they asked college women to ask out guys at random. About a third of the guys who said yes were in a relationship.
oh thats interesting and sad. do you know which study that was?
also not trying to be dismissive, but I wonder how they asked the men out. like was it clear that it was a date or could it be mistaken for someone who was looking for someone to drink a beer together?
I doubt I’ll find it;; it was in the paper-journals era. If I recall correctly, the form of question ranged from “it’s a date” to “let’s sleep together”
A LOT of guys at that age just want to get laid more, and a big chunk simply don’t care about existing relationships if they think they can get away with it. This matches my personal experience.
Generally teenage relationships are unstable because kids aren’t mature at that age
But generally by 16 to 17 most kids know cheating isn’t a good thing
About 1/3 of boys that age haven’t figured that out yet. That’s an awful lot of potential victims for this kind of extortion.
What’s your source for that? I’m actually asking, not trying to be dismissive.
