{"product_id":"2940013116795","title":"What To Do On A First Date.Or Not Do","description":"According to Rose and Frieze, a first date, or any \u003cbr\u003edate that follows, the man is typically and \u003cbr\u003etraditionally portrayed as initiating the date, \u003cbr\u003eplanning the date activities, picking the girl up, \u003cbr\u003edriving, paying for the date, performing courteous \u003cbr\u003eacts for the date--such as opening doors and possibly \u003cbr\u003emaking any affectionate moves and then returning the \u003cbr\u003edate home. The woman's role tends to be more of a \u003cbr\u003epassive one. She is expected to wait for the man to \u003cbr\u003einitiate and determine whether or not to \"accept or \u003cbr\u003ereject [a] date's moves.\" As Esther Vilar notes \u003cbr\u003ein The Manipulated Man (1971), these traditional \u003cbr\u003eroles seem to be constructed to cater to one sex's \u003cbr\u003eneeds, while the needs of the other go ignored. \u003cbr\u003eAccording to her research, it would appear that \u003cbr\u003ewomen try and condition men to conform to a set of \u003cbr\u003erules that caters exclusively to their needs, and \u003cbr\u003ereward men with praise (i.e. \"you're such a \u003cbr\u003egentleman,\" \"it's so nice to meet a man who knows \u003cbr\u003ehow to treat a woman,\" \"I guess chivalry isn't \u003cbr\u003edead,\" \"you're so well-mannered\") when men comply \u003cbr\u003ewith these set of rules, while scolding and \u003cbr\u003evilifying them if they don't. In The Polygamous \u003cbr\u003eSex (1976), a more formal analysis shows that \u003cbr\u003efollowing traditional courtship and dating rules in \u003cbr\u003emodern times is highly biased and tends to disfavor \u003cbr\u003emen.","brand":"unique5stardeals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164365865200,"sku":"2940013116795","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013116795_p0.jpg?v=1763577041","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013116795","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
