"I have to say that I have been in the situation on quite a number of occasions in the last 10 years of having been with a date who got too drunk for her own good and I've always been that guy who did NOT take advantage when he certainly could have.

What have I learned about this type of situation in the past few years is that always acting like a gentleman perpetually gets me put into "the friend zone" and that a lot of women INTENTIONALLY go out and get that drunk on purpose so as to give themselves permission to fool around with a guy.

When the guy doesn't go for it under these circumstances, she decides he lacks assertiveness rather than deciding that he is a gentleman worthy of her affection. Ultimately the guy who always acts the gentleman almost always gets rejected for some more exciting "dangerous" guy who won't think twice about taking advantage.

In spite of having learned this bit of politically incorrect dating reality in the last few years, I still have had it programmed into me so long that I shouldn't take advantage in situations like this that I won't do it even now."
