Online Q&A discussion venues like this seem like the tabloids but with an interactive element that leaves us open not just to the answers but to the authors of those answers. It feels like it is the difference between sitting on a bus and just nodding politely to people as they come and go, and striking up a conversation with them.
I am very clear in my mind about it when I chat with other men - I am passing the time or sharing a hobby or swapping jokes, giving or receiving information - thoroughly harmless in the best sense of the word. When I chat with a woman, at some level there is a sexual awareness - usually but not always harmless. I feel like I am considering the possibility of a relationship, no matter how innocent it may be on the surface. And it is certainly more fun than talking with a man.
Is this exclusively an acquisitive/ conquistador/ lecherous/ predatory alpha male behavior, or do women stroll along the edge of this same fuzzy line?
