Dating only one guy at a time

Okay, so this might sound like a silly question/thought.

A lot of the modern dating advice out there encourages women to go on dates with multiple guys/ keep their options open, never put all of their eggs in one basket.

Isn’t this all backwards? How can we truly get to know a guy if we focus on multiple guys at one time?

For men out there, how would you feel about a woman whom you are interested in dating multiple men (without getting laid). Would that activate your interest in the woman and make you want her more or will you lose interest in her?

I don’t know… me personally, I can’t date more than one man. I just have so much on my plate already that I would only be able to manage one person. Properly I mean.

Am I missing something or are women nowadays encouraged to approach dating and men in a superficial way?
