oh thats interesting and sad. do you know which study that was?

also not trying to be dismissive, but I wonder how they asked the men out. like was it clear that it was a date or could it be mistaken for someone who was looking for someone to drink a beer together?

I doubt I'll find it;; it was in the paper-journals era. If I recall correctly, the form of question ranged from "it's a date" to "let's sleep together"

A LOT of guys at that age just want to get laid more, and a big chunk simply don't care about existing relationships if they think they can get away with it. This matches my personal experience.
