Anyone NOT enjoying the "hook-up" culture?

<p>I adore the hook-up culture but it seems like I am a minority as a female.</p>

<p>I was raised to respect all cultures....</p>

<p>I have too many responsibilities to engage in random sex, although I wish I could sometimes.</p>

<p>I hope that once I find a decent career, I can settle down with a nice, reasonable, confident woman.</p>

<p>Are you into tantra or something? It doesn't take that much time out of your day...</p>

<p>"I adore the hook-up culture but it seems like I am a minority as a female."</p>

<p>Well... I adore you.</p>

<p>hahahahaha! nice : )</p>

<p>Oh yes you are. And you lack morals too.</p>

<p>Explain how enjoying hooking up is equivalent to lacking morals.</p>

<p>I don't feel like explaining myself to you because that is such a dumb question.</p>

<p>It's like asking how does binge drinking make you an alcoholic. They go hand in hand.</p>

<p>Bad analogy. There are highly compulsive and detrimental effects that results from becoming an alcoholic. I don't see any similar effects in hooking up.</p>

<p>she lacks your morals...</p>

<p>If you have sound empirical evidence, then let's hear it. If your views are based on how you've been raised, your argument is weak.</p>

<p>Morals are relative to each person. I can justify stealing and vandalism sometimes, but I do not consider myself immoral.</p>

<p>First you tell me how it is moral. If your argument is sound, I will respond.</p>

<p>Lets use your system of morals. I don't know what they are but its safe to assume that all systems of morals hold the same axioms. That is, its bad to harm others and yourself and that the opposite is good. If we assume this to be true, then its fine to hook up. Why, because hooking up makes both parties happy, hence it follows the hypothesis that being happy and making others happy is a good thing. Furthermore, hooking up is not detrimental to future success( for all those that like to use the delayed satisfaction clause) if taken in moderation. In fact its helpful because it helps students relive stress and allows them to recharge. Hence,when hooking up is done in moderation, its doesn't violate any morals. QED. </p>

<p>Theres your logical argument Nick.</p>

<p>I reject your claim that hooking up makes both people happy. It might make them happy at that moment, but most people eventually regret it the next day or maybe months after they keep doing it. A lot of women and some men too eventually end up getting hurt.</p>

<p>And how does it help people to "reduce" stress and recharge? That's a bogus argument. If I needed to reduce stress I would take a nap or spend some time with friends, not hook up! Hooking up just shows you have no morals because you treat the other person as a sex object, nothing else. Now, treating people as objects and not as human beings is immoral.</p>

<p>Thats why I qualified by using "moderation" in my argument. Of course if done in excessive amounts, its going to hurt both people.</p>

<p>Its not a bogus agument. It does help recharge. Of course you can recharge by spending time with friends. But that doesn't have anything to do with my argument.</p>

<p>Also, who says hooking up equates to treating others like sex objects? And the thing is, even if it does, as long as it doesn't violate the axiom that we shouldn't hurt people and supports helping people, then it logically can't be immoral as that would contradict the most fundamental principal of morals.</p>

<p>I don't see how it helps you recharge? It will only make you more stressed out, since you're only "hooking-up", and not actually doing the real thing, which releases this chemical in the brain that reduces stress. </p>

<p>I think hooking up is just plain wrong - for both guys and girls. It shows you have no self-control over your emotions and feelings. That is what makes you a BAD character. I, and many people that I know would hate it if the person they married five or six years later turned out to be "loose" in the past. I just don't have any respect for these people. You may do, but I don't. I think they're extremely selfish and greedy people lacking any self-control or morals.</p>

<p>Hooking up is always a choice....except at frat parties when it's occasionally rape. Choose not to.</p>
