cuz ...

confronted with the mere possibility of getting it on with  an "HYT" (hot young thang!) our little head swells with blood, draining circulation from our higher brain areas, especially the pre-frontal cortex which is responsible for (among other higher brain functions) the articulation of language/speech and "common-sense" intelligence (hence, the origin of the phrase: "i was speechless")

i kid you not (well ok, maybe just a little ... but have you ever noticed when during the heat of passionate sex your speech abilities (a guy's at least) are sometimes stunted? you end up saying non-sensical things or even getting you and your partner's genitals switched? .. once when i was overheated i told a girl: "i want you to slide your cock in me!" (when meaning the reverse obviously: my-your & you-me) ... hmmmm ... at least i hope she was a girl! [RIM-SHOT/CYMBAL-CRASH] LOL

no but seriously, you know what i mean (i hope ... it happens to both men and women (but especially to men, cuz of that blood drainage thang!  

---

if anyone is doubting me i'll just say this, these things can (and have been) measured with brain imaging techniques like functional MRI (fMRI) ... by giving "distracting" tasks to subjects while recording their brain activity using blood flow and glucose uptake (among other markers)


but i'll let the other guys answer your question more "seriously"

Simple answer, dear... a lot of guys are morons.

And when the girl gets turned off by the guys ignorance, the guy hasn't a clue why he did't get the kind of meeting that he read about in 90% of the reviews, and ends up blaming it on the lady.... Hence the phrase YMMV

that other than being a moron, those questions were some guy's lame-ass idea of making "small talk" with you ... which makes him a moron just the same!  

without more context, i can't think of any other reason(s) ... i'm assuming these were questions you were asked when the guy was already with you ... as opposed to in email, cuz that would be stupidity of a much higher caliber!  LOL

'cause their mommas didn't raise them boys with manners.  But upon reflection it occurred to me that poppas have just as much or more responsibility in teaching their sons.  Men learn how to treat a lady by observing how their fathers treat their mothers or other women they respect.  Way too serious but I do think boys raised in households without good role models are much more likely to be disrespectful and maybe even abusive in their adult relationships.

Sadly, as some others have already pointed out, it's probably attributed to immaturity or lack of manners.  I'd also think that part of it may be that those who ask may think that they are somehow better than you...something which they have now shown to not be true.     It's people like that who tend to think that others must be doing something above and beyond the norm to build the relationships they do with women, not realizing that what they consider normal is far below common courtesy.
