The Difference Between Women Men Want To Hook Up With And Women They Want To Date

Sometimes, your dates will only be interested in a casual hookup. Other times, they will want a serious commitment. Although this might have to do with whether or not they’re actually ready to settle down, it could also have to do with the connection they feel. Here are some men who have revealed the difference between women they want to hook up with and women they want to date:

“Generally, when you just hook up with someone, you get along with them well enough and find them pleasant to be around, but, speaking only for myself, you just know that there are larger compatibility issues that would prevent a relationship from thriving. These issues could be practical, such as living very far away or working odd hours, or they could be personal, such as knowing the other person has an incompatible set of life goals (she may want to be a world traveler, you may want to settle down).

It’s not that there’s anything particularly wrong with that person per se, but you just don’t have the same level of compatibility — which includes, but is not limited to, interests, communication styles, sense of humor, values and intellectual levels — that you would with someone you would date.” — TheMediaSays

“The girl I hook up with would preferably have as little emotional investment as possible to me as I would to her. Not that I’m trying to hook up, but if the situation comes across me, this is how I would want it to make it easy on everyone. The girl I want to date is someone that I can call up at almost any time and say, ‘Hey, wanna do this and this?’ and she says yes and we just have a grand old time. Plus cuddles, cuddles, and movies.” — AzianRaven

“Hook up: Attractive. Date: Compatible and hopefully attractive.” — [deleted]

“Hook-up: attractive and can hold a conversation with me. Dating: the above, but the bar is set a fair bit higher on the conversation part. We’ll have to ‘click’ in terms of hanging out and talking, and we’ll have to share a good portion of common ground in terms of values and principles.” — VikingFjorden

“You want to sleep with both. You only want to wake up next to one.” — SixShotSam

“I would do terrible, degrading things in the bedroom to the girl I want to hook up with. I would still do those to the girl I’d date, but I’d have the decency not to tell others about those shameful disgusting things.” — [deleted]

“For me, the girls I want to hook with are the girls I want to date.” — adventurelover
