So what is the difference between dating and target practice.

From a man’s point of view. 

Women who are subjected to “target practice” may not even be aware of the reality in which category they fall in as men are in hot pursued. Please allow we to explain. Having seen this over and over for years. We men see women in categories. Having lived in diverse communities, where guys pursue women based on what's in their minds as the category, for example, 

A hot Latina female, a very sexy White woman , a Black Goddess, even a Indian queen.  She is not in the category for target practice if she is seen as a Goddess, or a queen. However if she had reputation of having had sex with multiple men in her past. Then she is most likely a subject for target practice. A man will see her and think only about having sex with her for his pleasure, he might change his mind and change her classification, in his mind, but the label as a connection link to her past will continue to swirl around in his head. Men do not see a queen or a Goddess in that way. We want to date her in pursued of marriage or at least long term dating her with the end result in mind being a forever after. Men do make exceptions but generally men do not change their internal classification of women permanently. Take for instant a man who got together with a woman and she gave him and STD, he knows she did not get it  from just sitting on a toilet seat. He might get treated and forgive her, but him trusting her based on that experience will always negatively linger, in the recesses of his mind.

Final thought

When men have had locker room conversations about a female, and suddenly someone points out that she had a for example  consensual sex with multiple guys (a gang bang) at the same time, that whole picture of her with multiple guys will never go away from the recesses of the men's  minds. Men think about the many ways she and he had sex and what she enjoyed most that it was based on her previous experience with multiple guys at the same time. He will not be able to get those images out of his head. We can thank Porno stars for having created those images, and now men are projecting them onto the women wants to chase. Having a woman of a culture that projects Latina Hotness, of dance hall sexyness is a classification that will linger long term. Remember that ladies when you are projecting yourselves as this or that, and whatever the latest fantasy classification comes into play on social media.
