Is Sven really a slut at heart?

(1/4) > >>

Is it cold in here?:
In Sven's article on the wiki, Peterhuppertz sets forth the idea (my paraphrase, errors are my fault) that Sven is aimless, found himself in a society with media pressure to be sexually successful while high school girls were throwing themselves at him, and continued to be a player because it was easier to do what everyone expected of him than to take initiative and push himself to do something different.

This is a fascinating and provocative idea, and seems to have good arguments both for and against it.

Hannelore says he's a nice guy at heart. Hannelore is out of touch in many ways, but can anyone think of a case where she's been wrong about people? She seems to have a lot of insight into personalities, starting with her first appearance.

On the other hand, two-timing Genevieve was just plain a lack of character. Even if people expect that sort of thing from you, going along with that expectation is spinelessness in addition to hurting your girlfriend.

In 1486 he implies that Faye was the first woman he had developed feelings and a conscience about. At age 27 that's pretty bad.

Old habits are very  hard to break.  Even when you know you should...

Some people never do.  I've known several such assholes jerkwads guys.

Yes, i think he's a slut, like Raven, and millions of RL people.  And it's ok.  But i should define the word, as i use it: Accepting and enjoying one's sexuality.

Remember the Beatles song: "Why Don't We Do It In The Road"

McCartney wrote the song after seeing two monkeys copulating in the street while on retreat in Rishikesh, India with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He marvelled in the simplicity of this natural scenario when compared to the emotional turmoil of human relationships. He later said:

"A male [monkey] just hopped on the back of this female and gave her one, as they say in the vernacular. Within two or three seconds he hopped off again and looked around as if to say, ‘It wasn't me,’ and she looked around as if there'd been some mild disturbance ... And I thought ... that's how simple the act of procreation is ... We have horrendous problems with it, and yet animals don't. "

TheReaper:
That's an excellent question. I wonder if his behavior on the sort-of-date is extra gentlemanly because he's still miserable over Faye, or if he's putting on a nice guy act to sort of worm his way back into everyone's good graces, or if he's honestly just not that awful at heart, per Hanner's statement.

Not enough information to decide. Maybe if we follow his perspective post-date we'll get something.

I want to say something dicktastic, like "If you need to brag about how you're SO SEXUALLY ACTIVE on the internet, [insert insulting stereotype about nerds here]," but I know that's ultimately fallacious reasoning.

Also, dicktastic, which I might have mentioned.

Kugai:
Sven is Sven, that's all there is to it.

And really, would we want him any other way?
