Origin of the "3 Date Rule?"

[Superman]

Third date? Yeah, I understand that problem. You take a lady to a nice restaurant and perhaps you've had dinner once or twice before. You're hoping for a nice meal and some good conversation and then it happens. She starts making those little innuendo remarks. Winking. Rubbing her leg on you. Pretty soon she's begging to get out of there and into a nekkid free-for all. And all I wanted was a nice dinner and some good converstation. This **** just ruins the mood. Why do women have to have sex all the time? Isn't there anything else they want to do? So shallow.......

You beat me to it.... I think Tom either penned the rule, or at least popularized it

I've only had sex with virgins...gotta put a lot more into it than 3 dates, but I enjoy the chase and challenge more than the sex itself, believe it or not. I'll take a great bj over intercourse any day.

You can do what my brother-in-law does. Take Viagra, go to the Mustang Ranch, have sex all night long with a plain looking girl for cheap. That way he's satisfied for a couple of weeks.

or take TWO girls out for dinner 3 times!

I used to go out with the guys to get laid, just not by them.
Now I'm married and don't get any pussy like I used to and I still have to pay through the freak'n nose!

Mike, you never received the training package, did you?

[Chocaholic]

You guys are so full of *****. If you got half the ass you boast about here, it'd be a fuchin' miracle!

God bless the anonymous internet.

[Jim Richards]

Sounds like another guy that was AWOL when the training packages were being handed out.

[Chocaholic]

I can hear it now...."hey baby, if this bar was made of chocolate, would you prefer to lick it, or bite it?"

I'm sure it'll work every time...

That or you're just bitter. I'll tell you EXACTLY how to get a lot of ass: Have a lot of game, and talk to a LOT of girls. You're lacking on one of, or both of, the two.

How do you figure we're full of **** just because we say "**** it" after 3 dates?

Dude,

Been happily married for 13+ years. I have no interest in "game". Enjoying all I want with a good woman. And it gets better every time. It's just kind of humorous to read the writings of modern day Don Juan's. I guess marriage isn't for everyone, but it is for me. Seems like a few guys trying to prove to the rest how good they are with the ladies. . .just get out the Courvoisier.

Just one man's impression.

I added to the wikipedia entry...it is in danger of being deleted due to not fufilling notability status.

I added the Fitzpatrick Postulate. Guess that needs an entry as well...

I'll have you know my good man that I was at least 1/3 the stud I think I was (minus the goth years when the Cure was hot and I was not).

Lube....it's been a while, but the memories seem to cling to the occasional successes, while the hard cold reality points toward the bad dates and bars full of women that weren't worth the effort. Heck, even some of the successes weren't that good (drunk, freaky, baggage-laden bimbos, etc.). Often, spending Saturday night with a little buzz and few buddies around a poker table was much preferred.

It took two tries, but I count myself lucky that marriage to a good woman has provided the means to a good life. For those of you getting BJ's from hot women routinely, my hat's off to you. But I'm still skeptical...

[slakjaw]

I never get any. Really I mean like maybe once every 3 or 4 years.

Is that boasting?

Slak, there is always the preisthood...

...No, it's called honesty...

besides, Priests get more than that!

In general this follows Fitzpatrick's Postulate, which suggests that the cost of a date be approximately 1-2% of monthly take-home salary.

This is right up there with

The angle of dangle is directly proportional to the heat of the meat, which varies inversely to the mass of the ass.

I should install LaTeX so that I can write that as a formula; then again, installing LaTeX is part of the formula.

FWIW, 2.5 dates and all I can say is she can pull 47"Hg at sea level.

First off, I have no interest in marriage, seeing as how I am 18. Secondly, and I know SlowToday would agree, it really is pretty easy in college. There are just so many girls everywhere (and everyone is usually intoxicated)
