Yeah, I just read that thread. The poster sounds exactly like an ex-boyfriend of mine (and I'm sorry to say I saw quite a bit of myself at that age in the description of the girl). Ah, the early 20s. It's a fun-filled time.
A friend of mine told me university was one big crazy bath house. Which I missed out on by going to community college first (small classes, 40 people in my program, not the same experience at all) and then doing my degree part-time. I HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED AND CHEATED.
I'm not without sympathy for the lad, but I giggled all the way through my reading of the question. And everyone answered him so seriously, whereas all I wanted to comment was, "Please give me the girl's number. I want to talk to her about her technique."
Eh, I feel sorry for the inexperienced kid. But thath thread was totally worth it for this bon mot, which will henceforth refer to as Lyn Never's Relationship Razor:
barring illness or catastrophic events, any relationship that requires more than 1 paragraph per year of duration to define is not worth it.
I was enjoying the writing style quite a bit - I almost cut and pasted a bunch of lines which featured quirky construction. I'm thinking this isn't a native English speaker, though.
I do feel sorry for the guys, and I realize they're genuinely hurting, but ... yeah. It's so high-school in such a sweet silly way that it made me giggle.
And JanetLand, I always liked the total ambiguity of "hooking up." Covered pretty much any physical activity, without specifying which.
I can't remember what it's like to be a virgin, and I'm shocked that 21 year old virgins even exist, but it can't possibly be rough enough to sacrifice friendships over.
(When I was fourteen, I did have a boyfriend, my first great love, in fact, who "shared" me in just such a game with his best buddy. I was such a tongue-slut back then. ; )
do you guys seriously think those apocalyptic relationship off-the-charts-ridiculous askme questions are real?
I don't. they're clearly the work of some vaguely creative, extremely bored user. come on, the "we want to make out for hours without getting naked because we have to stay virgins so we want to wrap our naked bodies in saran wrap and go to town" threads are just fake
