The Dating Double Standard

Okay, so if a guy and girl go out on a date, and she calls him three times before he ever calls her, she will be put into the psycho category. But if the tables turn and the guys does this, why is it that her friends get giddy that he is soooooooo interested?!?

It really is a dating double standard, and it's true that men and women tend to view certain actions differently. But speaking as a woman, if a guy called me three times before I ever called him, I would lose interest not because I would think he was borderline psychotics, but because he's too available and that presents no challenge.

And hey, we all love a good challenge, right?

The dating double standard exists because women are too easily needy and men are too easily aloof about dating. So we have to create categories. And when a guy calls too often, he's hella interested.

When a girl calls too often, she's clingy and has stalker issues.
