Hobbesian Dating

Regardless of business, or pleasure. ( Some view pleasure as a variety of business. )

I view the entire culture of getting into relationships assuming the best of the other person as a patriarchal weaponisation of emotional vulnerabilities built into the genome. Regardless of gender, I think folks need to formalise expectations in as much detail as possible before getting attached, formally or informally. That's the point of dating.

I understand if people want to maintain a culture that normalises an altruistic baseline which should be taken for granted. But it's horrible risk management, and I would never recommend that assumption as a matter of operational security. 

This theme dominates most of the conversations I have with people, on dates, and about dating, these days.

LOL
