I agree. I can't say anything about what anyone else thinks or feels, and I won't dare to venture a guess in public. Who the hell knows what is going thru their head? I can only judge from MY experiences that many women have had no problem with torturing MY heart. Maybe I deserved it, either by not taking a hint or by refusing to bow to the sleaziness of modern society and the consequential meaninglessness of 'casual' sex. Once you admit that you love someone, that is when they KNOW they have a powerful weapon and have no qualms about using it.
To answer the first question, I am of the opinion that it is NOT worth the risk, but
lo and behold, that's when someone comes along and makes you foolishly believe that it is.🤦🏻♂
