    If that was the case, “I have a girlfriend” should also work the same, but from my experience it never does.

      Well men are just horny, so when a woman says she has a girlfriend, he gets double hornier. But if she says she has a boyfriend, that’s the ultimate shield and he backs off.

        honestly, this feels pretty sexist towards men ngl

        “men are just horny”

        oh okay, every man is just horny guys, theyre all pervs so you should not let them know youre gay

        /s for anyone in the back of the class

          Well, my first comment was based on assuming everyone was heterosexual in the scenario. But if you throw lesbians into it, the dynamic changes.

            Why? Your initial comment said that the man would respect that the woman wasn’t single or available. If that’s the case the gender of her partner shouldn’t matter. If it does, it only means that the statement of the original post was true and he never respected the woman in the first place but the unknown boyfriend instead.

            Also fetishizing lesbians is pretty much the opposite of respectful. 🤷‍♀️

        I’m a man and I just don’t understand this. I want someone who wants me back. I leave lesbians alone when it comes to flirting/romance, I don’t understand other men’s fascination with them.
