The Physiology of Online Dating. And How to Pwn It.


I don’t really have too much to add. Moxie nailed this one.
My primary question is why the hell would Scarlet want to be with this guy is she thinks he’s a male slut to the point where she has to aggressively snoop and try to force him to change to suit her paranoia?
It sounds to me like this guy really wants to try to make this relationship work and settle down, which is probably a mistake on his part. There’s no trust here, and Scarlet’s insecurities will never be assuaged.
I’m not surprised in the least that the sex has “tapered off.” It’s difficult to feel the sexiness when she’s put his balls in a vice of emotional blackmail. Scarlet says she’s getting “too old for this shit” but I’m unsure what “shit she’s referring to: his sexual past, his trying to placate her, or her prying, snooping, insecurity, and paranoia. But, yeah, she’s getting too old for this shit.
I note that Scarlet doesn’t let slip anything of her sexual past. I think there’s a tale there that is fueling her behavior.
Not that it matters. There is no long-term relationship here. Scarlet should do them both a favor and let this one go.


I don’t understand the use of the term “Manwhore” in this context. A whore is somebody who puts out romantically/sexually for payment. He doesn’t sound like a gigolo.
OP describes a porn-addicted misogynist. If anything, a “whoremonger” since he consumes porn (and probably prostitutes too but she just didn’t find out about it yet).
Can you change the title of this article to whoremonger? Almost nobody uses Manwhore in the context of receiving payment for sex. Manwhore is commonly known as a label for a player. Someone who uses many women for their own selfish needs. Sometimes, you have to look at the bigger picture and not just your interpretation.
My hunch is you’re the only one that has issued a complaint about the word usage of Manwhore.
Words get co-opted to a new definition from time to time and the older definition loses relevancy. You people are straight up assholes. As a matter of fact, no, MOST women don’t keep dick pic archives and keep in touch with all the guys they slept with, or go looking at other guys at all the time in a sexual manner. What’s with the bashing of her insecurities? Everyone gets insecure over something; it’s human nature to feel insecure. Instead of ostracizing the woman over feelings because her boyfriend is a manwhore (and probably still sexually interested in other women for all we know), why offer reassurance in a non-condescending manner to overcome those insecurities?
