I don't think that women have any obligation to treat all the men they go out with alike, and I am absolutely certain that men do not treat attractive and less attractive women alike.
In an open relationship, someone is going to be the loser, and if you don't know who it is, you are probably going to be the loser. The implication of my remark was that the girl who provides one of her male friends with a threesome is a loser, and all her other male friends other than the one she does the threesome for are also losers, that in open relationships there are few winners, all of them males, and a great many losers, most of them males, that everyone is going to get hurt, and everyone who gets something out of it gets something out of it by hurting someone else. That Thad was a winner, that everyone else involved were losers, and that even Thad was hurt.

Yes, I do seriously doubt that "guys make assumptions like this" is a comment about women.

redneck01 wrote:Guilty conscience much? I said nothing about women, only generalizing about males. Either you are a male embarrassed by being taken advantage of, or a woman embarrassed by taking advantage of men. Or perhaps a woman embarrassed by delivering what the attractive male expected.

It's natural to get jealous but I think if it gets bad then maybe Katia and Thad should sit down. And talk about it.

Again technically correct. And again based on completely ignoring the implications of what he said.
