Here's Richard's problem: He's saving himself for marriage. He's 28. Whenever he meets some-one nice, he mentions he's holding out until it all gets D&M. Blonde at the bar is "weirded out" by this.
While women decry being sexualised and objectified, the fact is we have been socialised to expect men to want us and it can be somewhat disconcerting when they don't.So, "no" job for a woman?
We have grown up with sayings like: "men are the accelerator, women the brakes." We expect to be the ones saying "no".
