Eh, there can be a difference, though, between "LTR shyt" and "classic beta" stuff. I was just in (maybe just leaving) an LTR with a great woman--athletic yet feminine, loved cooking/cleaning for me, great sex, etc (she seems to be breaking up with me because I'm moving in a few months and not taking her with me). But we got to this stage because I don't have much experience with casual dating and treated her about the same way I treated my wife when I was married but firmer, with the addition of hotter and more aggressive sex--in other words, lots of good talking/cuddling/massages and such, but no drivel/whining/caving/make-dinner-for-you stuff.
I personally like the "emotional connection + sex" thing, but definitely agree with the "+ sex" part.
