I believe this is very true for woman, but less true for men. There was an article posted here awhile ago about a study done on college students and it found that woman who had one night stands had lower self esteem after wards and were more likely to be depressed about it. With men they actually showed higher self esteem and felt happier about life.

I know that in my younger days when I was first in the service and sowing my wild oats that this was true for me. I was much more hurt and damaged when I fell in love with a girl in high school who I was very good friends with and when I told her she “just wanted to be friends”. I still think about her to this day and still get sad. Even though I am married to a wonderful woman and we love each other dearly.

I still think about her to this day and still get sad. Even though I am married to a wonderful woman and we love each other dearly.

I think every man has one girl from his youth that stays with him, no matter how real the relationship was.
