Triggered! For a long time I got the vibe that women want to be entertained. And for a long time my response was I'm not here to entertain you! I even said so in some dating profiles.

The irony is that I can be entertaining. I love making my wife laugh, being silly, etc. Only for me, that part doesn't come out until other needs are met, and until compatibility on a few major issues has been determined.

I really don't understand the resistance to a basic date. I don't expect a woman to entertain me. I was willing to put in the time and keep my expectations low.
