To call it "trickery" is to put an ugly spin on what really amounts to being a gentleman.
It was more a general statement to the thread. Your post happened to be the medium for it.
But damn... in fairness, you just said that if his only goal was to sleep with her, he should pretend that his only interest was in her mind. On what planet is that being a gentleman?
I knew this guy once who had a very successful sexual career by convincing one beautiful woman after another that he was a virgin.
Seems kinda pathetic to me. What kinda sad bastard has to pretend to be something he's not to get laid?
No offense if he's a friend of yours, but damn.
"Egos drone and pose alone, Like black balloons, all banged and blown
On a backwards river, infidels shiver In the stench of belief
And tell my mama I'm a hundred years late
I'm over the rails and out of the race
The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw ringing in my ears"
