Book on Women's Sex 'Hookups' Draws Fire

I was attempting to be a little dignified.

so ok, the woman is trading sex for sex.

no strings sex for her physical amusement.

no problem

I would be very curious at to the political leanings of the hook up crowd.

Interestingly it seems these women are immitating the homosexual random sex partner deathstyle far more than acting like heterosexual men.

Yet another reason to home school your kids.

[longtermmemmory]

remember behaving like a gentleman and opening the door is the right thing for you to do. The fact a female is too low to accept the civilized behavior is irrelevant.

We don't open the door because she is a woman, we open the door because we are gentlemen.

[HitmanLV]

The salient point is that anything freely given away can't ever really be valued. The problem men and women who are cavalier with their sexuality encounter is how can they legitimately expect someone else to value their sexuality when they haven't?

If they have no expectation of their sexuality being valued by someone else, they are in the clear. If not, they undermine its value every time they enjoy a low-hassle sexual frolic.

Yeah. But after a string of a couple hundred glares my enthusiasm was a little low.

[HitmanLV]

We don't open the door because she is a woman, we open the door because we are gentlemen.

This is very true, and I want to add that a man should never apologize for being a man and being masculine. If a woman along the way doesn't like it, too bad for her. In fact, often the women who roll their eyes and protest the much in the face of polite, but unambiguous and unapologetic, masculinity just can't stand there isn't a more powerful example of that in her personal life.

If you hold a door and a woman responds in a hostile way, laugh it off. It speaks volumes for her. HINT: It's not flattering!

[HitmanLV]

Wanna bet? I darn near quit doing it, as the typical reaction was an 'if looks could kill' hostile glare with occasional snide comments or outright screaming.

I'm 39, lived most of my life either in very liberal nyc, or on liberal colleges, and not only have I never encountered this myself, but I have never even seen it.

Anger may be in the genes for women

Thank you, BJ Clinton.

Thank you Drugs & Alcohol. Add birth control including all of it's forms and hook'in up is what it is.

Being selfish with no resposiblitly.

Bill was Potus with a lesbo butt ugly wife. Monica was a media side show. Bill should have been impeached and jailed for nuclear weapons and financial corruption with the Communist Chinese.

The public understands a sex scandals and it's a better sell for the media.

[wireman]

Women and men BOTH should behave better. Period.

They never have and they never will.

Yeah, I get really tired of the "radical feminism is to blame for ________" (fill in the blank).

What, men are hopeless, helpless dupes? A small group of bitter women had this incredible amount of influence? Everything was perfect and then feminism had to come along and screw everything up? Utter nonsense.

It's not feminism that is the problem, it's hedonism. And, yes, really men are powerful and meaningful, and have participated in rampant hedonism just as much as women.

Remember, women's lib promised men that they wouldn't have to worry about getting married, having 4.6 children, a mortgage, and a ditsy wife to support. It was free love - and who do you think came up with that idea? Women? Maybe some. But I guarantee that men did too.

What a deal - dump the middle class married drag of a life, and get rid of your Fear of Flying. Trade Donna Reed for Erica Jong. Well, talk about unintended consequences.

[Responsibility2nd]

You're correct.

I retract my whore is a whore is a whore comment.

At least a whore recieves goods and other valuable consideration.

Those who "hookup"? They cheapen themselves, their partners, their future partners and on and on....

[Mr. Jeeves]

42, California - never seen it either. Not even once. What are you projecting? Negative people often draw other negative people and negative consequences into their lives without realizing it. Like attracts like.

A man who holds his positive frames and controls his own reality makes even the university feminists weak in the knees. They are too knocked back on their heels emotionally at finally encountering such a creature to even remember to make snippy comments when he holds the door for them. On the other hand, a man with slumped shoulders and a "poor me" attitude who is sure a woman is going to say something nasty when he holds the door for her, well, he's probably going to be right. But it isn't the act that irritates her, it's him. ;)

[Valpal1]

You nailed it. Men want free sex and despise the women they get it from.

We have 3 daughters age 10-18 and we're terrified for them.

[null and void]

Perhaps. I certainly irritated my ex!

[null and void]

I can relate. Mine's 18. OK so far...

[Responsibility2nd]

This is the second stupid comment you've made.(#19 was the first)

You failed to respond to my first point.

Go right ahead and ignore this post too if you like.

But my point is; not all men are pigs wanting free sex.

You're terrified for your daughters? I don't blame you. With an attitude like yours, they - no doubt - will grow up hating men too.

[Lizavetta]

I believe Dr. Laura (please, save the Dr. Laura screeds for a different thread) is absolutely correct when she says that men will do what women will let them get away with.

Men behaved better when women behaved better. Men behaved more like gentlemen when women behaved more like ladies.

OTOH, I'm more apt to hold the door for someone who looks like they are already having a bad day, under the theory that they should at least have one person be nice to them that day.
