-
- Simple. It's only an ultimatum if explicitly stated. If the woman has
- no idea that a second date depends on her response to the "suggestion"
- of her treating the next one, then it becomes a selection criterion.
-
- It's very similar to other selection criterion that are commonly used.
- For example, personally, a woman either has to have a compatible sense of
- humour to mine, or I will not pursue a relationship. But I don't say "you
- have to laugh at my jokes or else there will be no second date."
-
- So not only does she have to jump through hoops, but the hoops are
- invisible (to her) and she must accurately guess where they are.
