Two (of age) adults are drinking..

A few things come to my mind:

Both are (let's say at least "legally drunk" meaning, too drunk to drive) But who's "drunker" - does it even matter? Who handles their liquor better? Does one or either of them take any prescription medications that would further alter their state of mind if mixed with alcohol? Does their culture matter (for example - one is middle eastern, one is american .. you decide which one is which) ..

Next, define "manipulation" .. verbal manipulation? emotional manipulation? physical manipulation? all the above?

I personally feel that if I go out with someone, start drinking with them - and allow myself to get drunk with this person but don't wanna fuck, all I gotta do is say "gtfo - this isn't happening - no, I'm being serious" .. or whatever, I can make my point, and I can be incredibly clear.) And I make it a point to not get SO drunk that I'm not in control of myself.. cause if you do that with someone you just met .. you're just fucking stupid.

And one of the biggest problems, I think, is that women tend to be really vague about what they want.. and they'll tease men, like, "I want it but I don't." Which is wrong and stupid, especially if they really don't want it - because men sometimes don't know what to do with that, they misinterpret it.. then the girl wakes up the next morning and feels like she was taken advantage of because she didn't know how she felt or what she wanted at the time (so she was just playing around rather than just being up front and saying "let's stop. I don't know if I want this right now") .. and refuses to take responsibility for her actions.

PLEASE do not mistake that as me being on the guy's side.. the guy needs to just back off from women who are playing those games and not use that as an excuse for "I didn't know." Cause if you don't know or can't read the signals she's putting out .. then probably just assume the answer is no and bounce.
