I think it is just a want for affection and attention. I don't see it as gross or anything. Men in relationship
resort to it from not being fullfilled and single men resort to it out of need for contact. There is always the flipside
of men who just want a "puppet" and think they can get a woman to do what they want, or a partner in a
relationship that wants a private revenge or secret from the other party. Just like in real life affairs, there are many
reasons as there are people who do it. I would of course assume that men who proposition women who they do not know
could have no good intentions in mind. Guys it does make girls feel bad, but girls remember my personal experience in
the matter (true story!). It went like this:
ICQ guy: can I lick you toes?
me: on which foot?
ICQ guy: it doesn't matter
me: oh good, I only have one
I never heard from that guy again :D So the morale of the story is: If you can't beat em' f*** with em'!
