On the other hand I think the whole ‚dating faster‘ ‚don’t waste time‘ thing can only be taken so far

If you are going to have relationships with multiple women then that’s a whole other ballgame and on that one you only require disclosure of the type of relationship, not dictating that she must like it

I guess in comparison to your generation think of it as faster dating, instead of waiting for 3 months to find you aren’t compatible, you find out within 3 weeks.

I think this is much better, life is too short to spend it with people that seemed great at the time but when you finally get to know them after months and months of dating you find out they aren’t for you.

It’s learning faster about them sexually but it doesn’t mean you learn about whether you’re compatible with them in all ways faster. If sex is extremely important to your filtering out partners and whether or not you ‚waste time‘ with them it makes sense.

Sex will for many people change the dynamic of the relationship so it’s not just dating faster, it’s changing how you date. Also if you extend the idea you could just start a date asking a person to lay bare their thoughts on children, make them meet your parents (because if they hate your dad they’re unsuitable), ask them to strip off so you can make sure they have no deformities or anything that would turn you off and request a complete family tree and police check.

We don’t do this because this kind of kills off building the great relationship. Building a good relationship takes time, you can’t just bypass everything and get to the nuts and bolts and expect it to be just as good. […]
