Yeah, but you still have to navigate the “do you think she’s prettier/hotter/sexier than me?” question. And depending on how you answer, then deal with the “but she’s such a slut! how could you like that?” line of questioning.
But you’ll always lose if you actually try to explain it.
So you’re better off just taking her right then, showing her that you want her, and using her hormonal response to shut her up about it for the time being.
Because the real question is always “but you still want me, right?” And as long as she never questions that, you’re pretty much in the clear.
(This applies to porn and strip clubs – where it’s really just in your head – not actually cheating. Unless you’re dating a porn star or a stripper, and then I’m really not sure what to do.)[/quote]
This does work too. But, it’s a bandaid[/quote]
It is. It’s a step in the right direction though.
Ultimately though, it’s imperative that she understand that you want her, that you’re not going to leave her, that you’re not going to cheat on her.
I’ve not met a single reasonably sane girl who really “gets” what porn does to men. I had some fun times going through some of the gallery sites with an ex though. There was a lot of “I think she’s hot” “really, why?” from both her and me. Now, it kills the mood of looking at porn, but it did make for some rather enjoyable evenings. And more importantly, she got a better idea of how guys see this.
“I thought you liked brunettes” “I do”
“But she’s a blonde” “So? She has nice legs”
“Huh.”
“So what about this girl, she has nice legs” “Eh.”
“You don’t like her?” “Not really. I mean, she’s got a nice smile, but eh.”
“Huh.”
I think a lot of women have this idea that men have an idealized image of what a perfect girl looks like, and they feel like they need to live up to it. When she starts to see that your preferences are really all over the board, and not even consistent day-to-day, it seems to help things go smoother. Because she’ll actually have some context for understanding how much you like her for being her. Especially if you consistently SHOW her that you like her, and want just her.
