If she refuses, she was never interested in the man, only the transaction.
Titre : "Sociologie du dragueur — lecture critique" Texte : "Alain Soral propose une lecture sociologique des pratiques de séduction, en les replaçant dans des jeux de pouvoir, des normes de genre et une économie de l’attention.
