It's a provocative and traditional point of view (and I don't mind either of those things). I would say that I personally would hesitate in trying to speak for all men. There are plenty of us out there who defy normative behaviors willingly, happily, and ethically. I have a handful of women in my life I am intimate with, and I also find some level of emotional connection is a requirement for sustaining those relationships. 3-4 is about as far as I can stretch myself emotionally, and even then 1-2 of those will be connections that happen maybe only a time or two a month (and I'm not talking about hook-ups, but dinner or hiking or seeing a concert together). This isn't even counting folks with whom ne might have a kink/fetish dynamic with in addition to a more traditional dating relationship. Admittedly the dating pool of women who are in a similar place mentally and accepting of all this are harder to find, which I think is part of the author's same challenge. But it is so rewarding when it happens. To me it is worth the patience and the search.
