OT the dawn of demisexuals

The issue isn't her preferences, it's that the traditional (and probably biologically evolved) idea of meeting, courting, and mating is now considered to be novel. So novel that it has a name.

A lot of formerly-obviously-common-sense things have been swept away by trends.

Exactly. Tribalism makes people do unnatural and unhealthy things.

"Common sense" rarely factors in to romance that often in the first place. And there's little solid evidence that extended courtships lead to longer-lasting relationships or marriages straight or otherwise...if e.g. adult boy and adult girl meet each other and they are the type of people who like to have sexual relations and they're single and they practice safe(r) sex what reason is there for these people not to do it ASAP other than religious arguments and the drastically decreased but still present risk of STDs, but everything has risk...

Not to be too crass about it but if you were a woman would you want to wait a long time to have sex to find out he has a tiny dingle?

What's "common sense" about monogamy? So you're in a monogamous relationship for 5, 10, 20 years and for whatever reason the other party sleeps with someone else one time and like that's it, the relationship's over? That's what society tells you to do pretty much, just ignore the possibility of this almost-guaranteed-thing-to-happen-eventually and then have an acrimonious divorce that only makes lawyers reliably richer...does that make sense?

And there's not much common sense about polygamy either, it seems like an awful lot of work for starters.

Any tempest-in-a-teapot will do, weapons of mass distraction for the January 6th Terrorist Crew. It's not working...

You claim you met your wife at a gay bar! Don't blather on to us about "tradition" and "common sense" approaches to mating and all that shit, damn. What's "common sense" about going to gay bars as a straight man, anyway?!

The burgers were outrageous.

A likely story!
