The Three Month Rule
The first time I'd eve heard of "the three month rule" was one night while watching Girlfriends which was one of my favorite shows at the time. Joan was explaining to her girls that she felt it was only appropriate to have sex with a man after three months of dating (she had everything from kissing to holding hands to cuddling planned out, but that was just Joan). Anyway, my point is she felt she had to wait a certain amount of time before becoming intimate with a man in order for him to not only respect her but for her to respect herself. Fast forward a few years later and Steve Harvey writes the book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man where again the three month rule is again promoted, although he called it something like a ninety day trial period. On the opposite end of the spectrum though, there are people who believe you should have sex whenever you feel comfortable doing it and no matter how long you wait if the person respects you, they always will no matter what. What do you think? Should you implement the three month rule into your life? Or should you have sex with someone whenever you feel comfortable? Do people (women especially) get more respect if they decide to wait versus deciding not to wait?

The 3 month rule actually sounds like a good thing but what are the odds of that happening????? I mean in this day and age I think everyone (both male and female) are just going w/ the flow. In some cases it may be a good thing and in some cases it may be a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't wait to comment! I agree with Anonymous! It sounds good on paper but basically if it is a persons intention to hurt you - he/she WILL hurt you. You can make him wait 5 years but if it's a goal to hurt you - then the pain train is coming. I read Steve Harvey's book and loved it, however, I disagreed with the waiting game. Not saying that I am a sexhound or anything but you should reward good behavior (in my opinion).
