Ahem. I think a huge part of the problem is that most (many?) guys *assume* a woman wants to rope them into a relationship. I have met a number of guys online who just want sex but they think they need to fool me into thinking they want more. Such fools! Geezus. I don't care if they just want sex, I just want them to be upfront about it. I have zero tolerance for lying. Just be honest from the get-go about what you're looking for. There's no shame in going out there and getting what you want. (Just be SAFE!) There IS shame in being a lying b@stard who manipulates others into selfishly getting what you want through deception and lies.

Having said that....I met someone online a few years ago. We periodically meet up. We're safe and smart about it. If either one of us became involved with someone else, then we wouldn't meet up anymore.

Just be safe and if a guy isn't honest with you, say goodbye.
