Hey Gipper!
I usually date one girl at a time, but I’m not against dating more than one. I do agree that dating more than one girl can “weed out” the flaky ones, but sometimes that can be done through initial conversation. Another good point about dating more than one girl is to teach an AFC how not to be preoccupied with all his time in one girl.
However, If I do find a girl that treats me the way I like to be treated, and I actually look forward to seeing her (doesn’t happen too often), then I’m not exactly going to go out of my way to find someone else to date just for the sake of dating more than one girl. Also, dating just one girl is not going to turn me into an AFC…I’ve had the “DJ principles” engraved in my DNA ( thanks to one particular past experience ) way before this site has been up. Plus, if you have high standards, the quantity of women is reduced. I don’t really care to take a girl out that I just “kinda like”. I’ve talked to and dated enough to know what I’m looking for.
Some people make dating their entire life. That’s why it’s important that you have a life outside of dating. The times that I’m not out on a date, I’m spending time with friends and doing things that I enjoy. It all comes down to what makes you happy.
Plus, I’m in college and money can be an issue at times. Dating more than one girl can be quite costly. Take my current situation: I like to have a full weekend, so I’ll see the girl I’m dating one night, and I’ll hang out with some friends the next night. Weekend complete. I’m having fun. That’s what I’m looking for.
As far as the whole “brain washing” thing, I think that your parents have an affect on you. My views (now) of dating women are completely different to how my Dad thinks I should act in the whole dating game. Him: flowers. Me: Neg-Hits.

For what it's worth, I also agree with Powertrip's point of view.
