To each their own. Some people enjoy single men and/or single women, others only want to play with other couples. Perhaps there wouldn't be such a cry about discrimination from the single men if the 95% of the whining single men understood that not everyone is looking for a single guy and that we all come with our own set of biases, expectations and requirements. Not everyone wants to play with me or with us, and I'm not out here crying discrimination against red heads/blondes (depending on the month) who are quiet and overly picky, etc.
And this is where I see the legitimate single man feeling a bit put upon, and I even feel a bit sorry for them.
Who says that single guys are looking for relationships? Why are we assigning this motive to them?
This is the one arena that allows for NSA sex. I sincerely doubt this is a single man's first choice place to go shopping for a relationship. Hell, we, as a couple, aren't going out to the club to find a new relationship. We are going to get our freak on, be it with singles, couples, or just with each other.
Why is it okay for us, as a couple, to go out with the intent to get laid, but not for single men? We all know the score in this activity and bring it on no matter what your relationship status is, as long as no one is lying in their pursuit to have some fun. I just will never get why that people/couples make assumptions about single men and their motives. We are all looking for alternative sex. Somehow, a single man can get all sorts of motives and negativity attached to them for pursuing the same thing I, as part of a couple, am.
Single men do have a part or role in the lifestyle, for some of us couples. Perhaps not for all, obviously, but for some of us. As such, it gets a bit tiresome to see the bashing. Yes, some single men suck. And not in a good way. But as I've said in other threads, I personally have had more issues with couples and a single woman being rude, pushy, offensive and any other form of jerk than I have had with single men as a group.
And if a single guy wanted to be there for the hard parts, he'd then be accused of trying to cowboy off the guy's wife, or wanting her to cheat with him, or trying to make a permanent threesome arrangement, or wanting a relationship. My spouse signed on for the scut work of marriage, as did I. If we are playing with a single male, we are doing it because it's fun sex, not because we want an extra set of hands with the normal marital work. Seems like a win-win if the average single male is looking for some fun and we are looking for some fun.
Single men, good or bad, just aren't going to catch a break from some. Nice.
