The Compulsive Need to Ask "What Are You Into?"

The Compulsive Need to Ask "What Are You Into?"





Asking a woman what she’s into is a conversational dead end that reflects badly on you. It is best left unasked.





This is one of those questions that guys just can’t help themselves but to ask. It is a common obsessive/compulsive psychopathy here. By "common" I really mean "ubiquitous." I have not in recent memory had a conversation where this somehow did not get asked this question.

Why do you guys ask this question?

“I’m just trying to get to know her”

Actually, that’s an honest answer. But that only makes it more reprehensible.

The one and only thing guys want to know about us is our sexual proclivities. That’s really what bothers women the most about it. Nothing else is of any interest, except the degree of freakiness.

You don’t want to get to know her and what type of person she is, you merely want to know what kind of sex you can expect from her. This reduces women to the status of mere sexual plaything. It is demeaning and insensitive.

The problem here is that, even if I were to answer it, it doesn’t open up conversation. Here’s what happens if you try:

Him: What are you into?
Me: Nothing particularly exotic
Him: Oral sex? Vaginal sex?
Me: I think that’s a pretty safe assumption for nearly all women here
Him: Nothing else?
Me: As I said, nothing exotic
Him: How about anal? Do you like anal sex?
Me: I just met you, I’m not having anal sex with you
Him: I know, I’m just wondering what you like is all
Me: I’m not a big fan of anal, and I absolutely won’t do it with a new partner
Him: But you’ve done it?
Me: Why is it so important for you to hear me say it? Yes, I’ve done it
I hope it was worth it to hear me say that, because now I’m defensive and annoyed

This is NOT a conversation. None of these questions need to be asked. Nothing of any significance got revealed. It is not getting you any closer to meeting me. You’re sending all the wrong messages and you’re losing points every step of the way.

I will keep repeating this until it sinks in, but early in the conversation you only have a limited number of lines before I become disinterested. Don’t waste them on this kind of word fluff.

You know what a conversation like this sounds like to women who get this? Let me tell you how this comes across:

Him: What are you into? I need to get off. So I need to hear about your sexual exploits
Me: The usual stuff
Him: That’s not good enough. You have to describe it in detail. You need to use words like “pussy” and “tits” or I won’t be able to masturbate to completion. Do you like sucking dick?
Me: I enjoy oral
Him: No! You have to say DICK. Do you like sucking DICK?? Oh my god, I’m so fucking HARD here and you’re not helping. Do it right!!!!
Me: Ok, ok … don’t have an aneurysm … I like sucking dick
Him: Do you want dick in your pussy?
Me: What you’re describing is sex. This is a sex site. I’m pretty sure everyone here enjoys sex or they wouldn’t bother being here
Him: No! You have to say how WET your PUSSY is
Me: Because you’re being so insistent … yeah, my pussy gets wet when I think about having sex, doesn’t everyone’s?
Him: Unghh …. unghhh …. ohhh … mmmmmmm
Him: I just came in my pants. Want me to take a pic of it for you?
Me: Seriously? What are you? 12?

This sounds like a bad Beavis and Butthead skit. Yet this is what you guys sound like when you hammer away at asking me about my sexual interests!

Guys, when you ask about my sexual interests, it is entirely because you need to be titillated by hearing me use sexual expressions. It is infantile. It sounds like you’re seeking praise for “making poopy like a big boy.” Act like a friggin MAN! Act like someone who’s been around women before.

“If you were to ask the question in return, then maybe we’d actually have a conversation, that’s how conversations work”

We won’t ever ask in return. Here’s why:

Because it is way too early in the conversation for us to be thinking about what kind of sex we can expect from you.

“You can’t deny that sexual compatibility is important”

I have yet to find a fetish so bizarre or absurd that the guy I’m talking to was put off by it. So this is a ridiculous assertion.

“It’s a SEX site, what’s wrong with talking about sexual interests?”

Oh, I WILL be talking about sex while I’m here. Dirty, raunchy sex. Sorry if I gave the impression otherwise.

I just won’t be talking about it with you.

You’re not savvy enough to draw it out of me.

Trying to skip the “drawing it out of me” part out of some misguided notion of “this is a sex site for crying out loud” is guaranteed failure. So go ahead and keep insisting on it. See where that gets you.

Guys, we like sex. There’s really no need to ask. It never opens up conversation. At best, you’ll get an evasive answer such as “Nothing weird or exotic.” At worst, you’ll end up antagonizing her. Being that it doesn’t ever help you, just don’t ask the question. Wherever you planned on taking the conversation after that part, just skip straight to that. You’ll progress the conversation a whole lot farther that way.

I hate those interrogations here. Big turn off.


VenusRedux2 replies on 3/16/2017 8:33 am:
I know. It's just that guys never realize that it comes across as an interrogation. They honestly think it is a normal conversation. Except never gets them anywhere, so how can that be "normal"?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This has to be the best post I've read on here. That's exactly how I feel and how they make me feel. You couldn't have put it any better. I often tell them I don't like to put it all out on the table, it ruins the excitement. I get the same responses as you and I tell them, I'm on a sex site so it's safe to say that not only do I like sex but I am not just looking for "vanilla" sex.


VenusRedux2 replies on 3/16/2017 7:59 am:
I think we've all developed mechanisms to get out of such conversations. Personally, I'm the Queen of vague and evasive responses. I shamelessly give them nothing to work with.

I'm less than sympathetic about that since even if I were to give them some kind of thoughtful response, the topic itself doesn't open up conversation. It's a dead end no matter what. The only way for me to bail them out would be for me to change the subject entirely. And if I have to do that for them, there's no point in them initiating the contact.

I know you state so much of the obvious, but again, I hope when men read through your blog exactly how they come off to women, it means that for some, the penny will finally drop.

Obvious points, but unfortunately required reading for many


VenusRedux2 replies on 3/16/2017 7:54 am:
It at least gives me something to do, even if I'm just talking to an empty room. Glad you guys are here though

Love your interpretation how it comes across when we get asked these questions (over and over again.....). Hit the nail right on the head with this post. Well said.

I know, once I started writing, it just wrote itself. All that pent up irritation over it finally coming out.

It is amazing to me how many of the questions that get asked in EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION are all bad questions.

Guys, time to strip them all out and find a new approach.
