Alpha male "badboys" become rapists because they feel entitled to whatever they see. Mike Tyson's behavior in 1991 is an example of this: the man was rich and famous, but did it anyway because he was arrogant. A man who is successful in getting lots of casual sex stops seeing women as people, and starts seeing them as objects to be "acquired". At this point, bad behavior is likely to ensue. They are ladies, by defini…

noun 1. a woman There, I looked the word up. It means what I thought it meant, ie, a woman. What did you think it meant? Your views on "alpha male rapists", which apparently descend entirely from Mike Tyson, are ridiculous. That is a single data point and is utterly meaningless. Where's the rest of it? I can personally attest to the fact that in contrary to your blanket statement, men who have been "successful" in "g…

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you act like this in person? Shut the fuck up, asshole. I mean seriously, I don't want to talk like that on HN, but just look at what he's saying.

Such comments wouldn't be hurtful-- or "assholish" to use your phrase-- if she didn't know she had done something wrong.

You're a disgrace to your religion.

Trust me that I don't think anyone is jealous of a woman who lost her virginity at 14.

Are you even a man? Any guy I know would think it is AWESOME to lose your virginty at 14.

I'm duly disgusted. Great job. IHBT.

Good thoughts lalaca. I'm part of the over 40 crowd here on HN ;). I was raised with strong conservative and religious values and still hold on to most of them. My words to the OP were mostly about understanding that his values are personal to him and his needs are about compatibility. I asked him to worry more about "compatibility" than morals. I agree, I feel pendulum has swung too much the other direction in the l…

I'm actually in my mid 20ies, but I noticed that I sound a lot like an older person on moral issues (because I tend to be a tad bit more conservative). > I do not agree with the view that "you have to get laid in high school" That is unfortunately the view among young people.

That is unfortunately the view among young people. A virgin is looked upon as someone with a type of disease.

I really don't think this is true. I was a virgin until I was 19, wasn't secretive about it (which is not to say I broadcast the information) and no one ever seemed to care. I have friends who are still virgins and don't think of them differently at all.

You have no idea what my religious beliefs are, douchebag.

My objection to this sort of behavior isn't religious. It's that I value the preservation of civilization, and I have a real problem with a bunch of self-absorbed thugs who are trying to fuck it all up. It took thousands of years to get to a society even approaching one where men and women could relate on loving and mutually respectful terms, and the casual sexers want to throw all this progress away within one generation.

Wow, both a Christian propaganda site and a trashy UK tabloid? It MUST be true! Peer reviewed study or nothing, please.

www.helenfisher.com/downloads/articles/17brokeheart.pdf Pwn'd.

From the study you linked:

"Even when romantic love is not linked with reproduction, this passion can provide a teen or young adult with some exceptional personal and social benefits, including exhilarating joy, increased energy and optimism, feelings of intimacy, self-esteem, inclusion in health-giving social groups, exercise, social and personal support, and crucial practice in the skills of building a long-term partnership—skills they will need to make the most important social contract of their reproductive lives."

Oh yeah man. Pwn'd all right. Self pwn'd.

Women who have casual sex have a way of not being able to get married, and many of them discover that it's something that they actually did want to do, eventually. Funny, that. Thus they spend their 40s breaking into tears every time a school bus passes by.

Quit your hyperbolic palaver and tell me, in observable facts, how my life is fucked up.

Honestly? No. You've already run the score up against yourself without my help. It would be mean-spirited for me to visit any additional harm upon you, emotional or otherwise. I'm done with this dispute.

What a load of bollocks. Stop trying to dress up your crass superstitions in the clothes of learned sociology and demographics - they just don't fit. And your assertion that casual sex is something that only appeared in this last generation is laughably, provably wrong.

Give it up already, you and your stupid beliefs have been utterly trounced.

They're both deviant behaviors looked down upon by the mainstream for the permanent emotional harm they cause to the people involved.

You're insane. Please, please, seek therapy. You clearly have a brain but something terrible must have happened to you, and I'm sorry for that, but you need to find help. You cannot equate "Would you marry an ex-child molester?" and "Would you marry someone who has had casual sex?" Cannot. CANNOT. One raped a fucking child, dude. RAPED. A. CHILD. Another had a consensual relationship with another willing adult. You c…

edit/erase:

I just read the rest of this thread and time_management is an idiot that probably SHOULD be seeking therapy.
