Method of Madness:

--- Quote from: LittleKing on 31 Jan 2014, 05:11 ---Well, you did sort of imply you thought Delilah was wrong for choosing not to see Marten anymore, when it's perfectly within her rights imo.

Still a little messed up, though, but it'd be messed up even if they hadn't had sex. Like if they got along, and hung out and just talked and then the next day Delilah just decided she never wanted to see him again, I'd find that a little messed up. Within her rights, sure, but messed up.

Oh, so I'm not a "normal, healthy adult" ? Because I dont get the idea of one night stands at all.

I agree, I don't think things need to be so radical either. But yeah, if she doesn't want to see him/be in touch then it's her choice...

But also her "let's not try to make this into something it isn't" comment feels to me like she just doesn't want to actively seek out or force a connection with Marten, but her friendly demeanor suggests that she likely wouldn't have a problem hanging out with him again under the right circumstances or if they met by chance or at another party or whatever. At least that's the way I read it.

Barmymoo:
I dunno, I've met people at parties and had a great time but not wanted to bother staying in touch with them because I already have plenty of friends and sometimes it's just too much hassle.

--- Quote from: Schmorgluck on 31 Jan 2014, 05:00 ---I'm not saying anyone has been used or any bulldrek like that. What I'm taking issue with is people overinterpreting Marten's actions, blowing small details out of proportion. What the frag, pods?

It's like I'd go and say Marten his a real choom for having forgotten Delilah's name. I personally remember the name of every woman I've had sex with, every woman I've made out with, and even most of the women I should have made out with but didn't because I'm a gonk. But to each his own, chummers. It's not like there were rules about sex and relationships.

In greywolfe's defense, I think it's fair to say that anyone who initiates sex with someone he just met using the line "You can pay me back with makeouts" after sort of awkwardly insisting on staying behind to help clean up is in no credible position to feel "used" or "commodified" after a brusque morning goodbye, and is certainly not going to garner sympathy when he goes to opine to his best friend.
