Maybe guys really are from Venus and girls really are from Mars or vice versa or whatever. Because, upon recent reflection, I can't tell you how many times I have put two (or more) guys in awkward situations that they actually stayed in.
Possibly I'm not making myself clear:
There has been more than one occasion where I "accidentally" double booked a date. Both guys showed up and both guys (or more) stayed. Bizarre, no??
Now, if I ever showed up to a guy's place for a date, only to find a cute little number planted on his couch, I'd be out the door as fast as I could turn on my stilettos!
The first time I ever committed such a horrid dating crime, I was in college. Both guys showed up at my apartment and both guys stayed. We all ended up smokin' some reefer and things get a little fuzzy from there...
However, isn't it strange that they both stayed???!!!! Why were they not mad at me??? Why didn't they call me ugly names to my face and then storm out dramatically????!! That's what I would have done!!!
Another time (and this is all I'll be confessing to today), I was out with one guy at a bar/club. Whilst there with Guy A, I call Guy B to come along and hang out with us. Because the situation was fairly casual, I thought it would be no big deal. But between the time I called Guy B and his arrival, I got myself pretty sloshed. Mostly, I ignored both Guy A and Guy B while I went and danced with/gave my number out to other guys. Then, at the end of the night, I made it fairly clear that I wanted Guy A to "escort" me home and not Guy B. Here's where it gets fascinating: Guy B still called me the next day! As if he wasn't bothered a bit by my complete lack of etiquette!!
I say all this to say, while indeed I am frequently very badly behaved, it is only because you men let me get away with it!! Shame on you for not making me feel guilty! Shame on you for continuing to call me even after I've mistreated you so wretchedly! Grow a pair, call me ugly names to my face, and slam the door dramatically once or twice!! What is wrong with you??! I'm no Pamela Anderson. I can't really be worth all the trouble, can I?
*sigh* I probably am worth the trouble. Oh well. I guess I'll just keep on with my wild ways until one day a man comes along with the strength to slam a door dramatically in my face. And when that day comes, I'm gonna open that slammed door, tackle him to the ground, and marry him. Whether he likes it or not.

Oh, the shame...to be worth it, I mean. I can't believe more guys haven't stayed, Queen!!! And please don't ever compare yourself to Pamela Anderson again...*gag*!
Yeah...she is kinda gross...but guys go bananas for her! Fake boobs and all!
A more interesting question is why women like Pam Anderson seem fascinated with men that are unhealthy for them. Two ex-husbands beat her up, and the third made a sleazy video with Paris Hilton. (Yes,it horrifies me I learned about all this while listening to the news. I can't help it, I absorb knowledge.) My point being I find it fascinating some women who could have their choice of men tend to choose quite poorly. I also find it interesting some women seem to be only drawn to the men they can't have. Why is that?
If it makes you feel any better, my dear Queen Mad Spinster, if I showed up for a date and a second guy came, I'd walk. I wouldn't scream ugly names.
I'd just say "Man, if you really want her, you can have her," to him and "Have a nice life. Don't bother calling. It's your loss," to her.
I think some guys stay because we are by nature competitive and territorial. If something is contested, it must be worth fighting over. Women do something similar. If a guy has a girlfriend, girls who normally wouldn't give him the time of day suddenly start talking to him.
Each side of the equation that is the human race has its peculiarities.
Just a few thoughts.
