I don’t think you can cleanly say “all men are happy with one-night stands, and all women are against one-night stands.”
Any statement that begins with “all <insert group>” is 99.44% likely to be incorrect. That being said, men are far more prone to be interested in one-night stands than women are. Are women sometimes interested in one-night stands? FUCK yes! I’d suspect every woman on Earth has had a moment where they at least very seriously entertained (if not actually took) the possibility of a one-night or a short-term fuck-fest. (I spent two weeks on a holiday shacked up with a guy I met on the plane there. Never saw nor heard from him again and I’m fine with that.) But I’d also suspect a whole lot more men entertain this possibility a whole lot more frequently. This has to do with the fact that men don’t bear the biological costs of childbirth; the risk analysis is entirely different.
So on the whole I think it’s perfectly safe to assume that men are far more interested in (and far more likely to participate in) casual sex than women. Just #NotAllMen.
