Relationships can be [[long-term relationships]] of they last for a long time, or [[short-term relationships]] if they last for a short period of time. | Relationships can be [[long-term relationships]] of they last for a long time, or [[short-term relationships]] if they last for a short period of time. | ||
== Long-term relationship == | |||
A long-term relationship (''LTR'') is a [[relationship]] that lasts a long time, especially with those who are planning to live together, are considering to be exclusive with each other, or are possibly considering to [[marry]]. For men, the sex gets boring due to low perceived [[mutual attraction]] and [[sexual variety]]. | |||
However, this term may be a misnomer. Having [[casual sex]] once so often with a "friend" may be considered "long term" yet the [[relationship]] isn't a serious committed one. | |||
== Short-term relationship == | |||
A short-term relationship (''STR'') is a [[relationship]] that may not last a long time. Includes a [[causal relationship]], an [[affair]] and possibly a [[one-night stand]]. For men, the sex in a short-term [[relationship]] is usually more exciting than in a [[long-term relationship]] due to increased perceived [[mutual attraction]] and [[sexual variety]]. For women, the sex in a short-term [[relationship]] is more exiting because they could be more [[hypergamous]] in their choice of men. | |||
There isn't any agreement on the duration of a short-term [[relationship]]. Some define the duration to last a few days while others define it to last a few months. It may or not may be [[monogamous]]. The frequency of sex may be once per day, or once in a few months (as in having [[casual sex]] once so often with a "friend"). | |||
Short-term [[relationship]]s don't last very long because the male is more attractive and he ends up having sex with someone else or [[pump and dump|dumping her]]. Thus, a short-term [[relationship]] could be conceived a code word for a [[hypergamous]] [[relationship]] in which the male is higher in league than the female. | |||
However, its possible for a short-term [[relationship]] to reinitiate (such as in the case of a female returning to have sex with the ''same'' [[slayer]] whenever she breaks up with her [[boyfriend]]; an [[on-again, off-again relationship]] with a slayer). In this sense, a short-term [[relationship]] could be viewed in a misnomer because the female will remain "[[friends]]" with the [[slayer]] long after they stopped having sex. | |||
When one searches "[[friends with benefits]]" or "[[fuck buddy]]" on Google, you will get articles on "advice" for initiating or maintaining such a [[relationship]]. A vast majority of these articles are written by women. The vast majority of the comments in these articles are made by women too. This shows how skewed [[casual sex]] is for women. It's easy for a woman to have a "friends with benefits" type of [[relationship]]. But for a man, this impossible unless you're one of the top men. | |||
<blockquote>The results: The top 2.6% of men are responsible for 29% of the hookups. The top 5.4% are responsible for 40% of the hookups. The top 28% of the men are responsible for 78% of the hookups. These statistics are for Fall 2010.[https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/all-the-lonely-feminist-spinsters/#comment-16924]</blockquote> | |||
