Ebonee, I'm an idiot, what do

Ebonee, I'm an idiot, what do you think he meant by calling you a late bloomer?

Men don't just chase because

Men don't just chase because they love it so much. They learn (or don't learn) that in order to get a woman of value they need to put in effort because the rewards (and I don't just mean sex) are worth it.

Exactly!

Lil' Darlin, men are quite

Lil' Darlin, men are quite capable of going weeks, months, and even years without sex. In fact, you might be amazed just how many men do not have regular sex and often have larger dry spells than women do.

Cookie, I totally agree with

Cookie,

I totally agree with Mystic's advice to zing 'em back with sarcasm. Seriously, they will respect you for it, and once they know that they can't match wits, they'll stop.
