Loathing All Things Georgia
Padraig;1420983; said:I was raised Catholic as well. (And I still am a practicing Catholic) I chose not to have sex before marriage, and I didn't get married until I was 32.
It was tough. Some days I seriously regreted my decision and was close on a few occasions to going back on my conviction and giving into the temtations that came along with becomming intimate with the young ladies I dated.
I married at 32 also. But having been raised a Sunday golfer, I had few reasons to not try to sleep with every broad that would let me. I found that perseverance is a virtue, and alcohol a wonderful elixir. (They drink enough and even I look acceptable. )
Looking back, I have few regrets about the less than fantastic hook-ups, but lots of regrets of the opportunities I missed for whatever reason.
Even the gals who tried the "I was drunk and you took advantage of me" line later (to prove to me - or themselves -that they were not easy) were not a problem. I'd say "Really? - that's a shame. I've always been attracted to your look, and the way you acted last night made me think it was mutual. No problem I'll just cancel the dinner reservation I made for us today and pretend it never happened."
Most of the time they'd confirm the dinner date and be even friendlier since we were "dating", and the others were - at worst - not hostile. ( By "taking advantage" I mean mutual drunk consent, not Jeffcat rape :p)
Whatever you do, always be respectful of them. If my buddies saw some gal unsuccessfully sneaking out of my dorm room I'd deny she was there. According to me, I never got laid anywhere. If her roommate likely spent the night on the sofa and heard me snoring because I was with her friend, if the friend asked me about it later, I'd say "Jill is a very nice girl. Too bad we had to end the date early. I'd like to see her again."
Now they may hook up like sex starved minks, but back in the day a reputation was still an issue. I approached it like this: the more women who were certain that if they hooked up with me I'd never talk about what we did to my buddies - or anyone - the better my chances of getting laid.
Even a skank may have a nicer friend. If you go around telling everyone about the skank you hosed, you diminish the chance of the better hookup.
A gentleman does not talk about his romantic endeavors.
