I was eating lunch alone the other day as I travelled through a city I'd never been to, about 50 miles from my town. I overheard a truly cringeworthy conversation between two Mormon men and their wives (I knew they were Mormon because they prayed to HF at the beginning of their meal). One was saying 1) that if a man didn't fall in love with and propose to a young woman within 3 MONTHS of meeting her/going on their first date, he never would, and 2) if that man knew that a woman was the 'one,' he would chase her no matter what she said/did/no matter who else she was dating, until he 'got' her.
I was completely dumbfounded--he was actually arguing that women who hadn't gotten a ring in 90 days should move on and assume the dude didn't love them. And the second thing he brought up--hello, major consent issues?! He's basically advocating stalking as the 'right' of men who decide unilaterally that a woman is 'theirs.' So creepy. The women were agreeing like that would be so romantic. It literally gave me the chills and I wrapped up my lunch as quickly as possible.
