No mutual attraction

[East]

But I still must say that, though the "dating game" is/isn't an innuendo for a quick fuck, why must it be considered as such? Perhaps this is me being my naïve old fashioned self but, shouldn't people get to know each other first?

Depends entirely on the person. Alot of straight people think that two women or two men together is something they need to comment on as though it is something they need to control and regulate on some level...using alot of "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts". Some of them are "old fashioned" as well and use this excuse to discriminate and assume THEY know what is best for other consenting adults.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I understand people are people and have needs/desires and that life is short and that we can't get to know everyone before we sleep with them, but shouldn't there be a way to make it less frivolous and cheap?

I think people in relationships lying to themselves and each other is cheap. I think people worrying about their appearance is frivolous. Sometimes I DO judge them....

I'm not one to judge, or atleast I try not to, but personally, a quick fuck is something that animals do and although we are under the catorgory of Animalia, we are also more than that.

Animals dont' fuck each other over for $$$$...nor do they kill for fun/pleasure. Nor do they lie to themselves or each other. I think animals have ALOT to teach us.
