Is Dating Two Men at Once... Normal?

Why does everyone ignore that Susan is playing 2 men simultaneously? Why didn't the original boyfriend put his foot down from the start? Why do her parents tolerate Joe Lampton in their home at all? Weird relationship movie.

I think it was the style back then for an eligible young woman to be "courted" by many different gents, yeah. Then she picks which one she wants to marry, haha.

Yeah, she went all the way with Joe.

Back then, as now, when a woman took her beau to see her parents, it meant that she was serious about the guy and that she was no longer playing the field.

I once knew a girl who had four boyfriends all at the same time. What a whore.

Me too. One of them found out about it, beat her up so bad, she ended up in a hospital on Guerrero Street!

Nothing wrong in playing the field, but honestly and consideration play a large part. Don't toy with people! Easier said than done right?!😥😥🤔

Yeah, don't mess with people like that. It's messed up, creepy and slutty. How much attention does one person need? Sheesh.
