What is your opinion on hookup culture?

[ragequeen]

I feel like this topic has been brought up quite frequently lately, and a lot of people have different things to say about it. Personally, I have never taken part in it, and I don`t plan to. I am afraid to feel like shit about myself, but there is another side to me that says it can be fun to do before actually settling down with someone. I don`t judge people who take part in it actively, though. I can understand why they choose to do it.

I'm pretty in the middle about it, mostly neutral. First, I think it can be a good experience if done responsibly : proper protection against STDs and pregnancies, things are clear between both partners so that they both know it's not serious and so much less drama, less strings attached in general... I think it can be a good experience but I think it will never be as fulfilling as a serious relationship for me.

Second, I think people have different tastes and like different things. Therefore, some people might just prefer the smaller amount of responsibilities and greater freedom of a less serious relationship while some just can't see themselves in such relationships. It's okay to have different tastes, as long as you don't harm people.

That said, I think there is a potentially dangerous aspect of it where people seek the fulfillment that only a serious relationship can provide, but in a non-serious relationship. These people are running after an illusion, after something they will never get and this will inevitably hurt them on the long run.

I would also be careful when it comes to turning a non-serious relationship into a serious one : just because you have had sex with the same person for a while does not mean they would make a good, healthy partner for you.

It's a choice some people make. I wouldn't seriously date someone who was into the hook-up culture at some point in their life anymore, because I don't think they ever really change. I think if a woman is able to keep her legs crossed for anyone but the partner she committed to, then she didn't find the need to go hooking up with a bunch of dudes early on either. That being said, if someone is into casual hook-ups, as long as they don't cheat and they respect the lifestyle of those who chose the other route, I don't care

I think as long as you're safe there's nothing wrong with it. Suggest strongly you hook up with people outside of your city. less chance of your hookups bumping into each other and you at the same time

[CoolKatie]

I hate so much all people should go to hell. This why we can't have any committed thanks to tinder to let people have sex without getting any feelings.

[mortmccain]

I prefer dating with someone that I love. I don't like the hookup culture I believe it hurts people.

[Berethor]

It's bad, especially for a girl. A girl who are part of the hookup culture are not wife material.

[Angieeebabieee]

people hooking up are not thirsty for a husband/wife... In case you haven't noticed women don't need to be wife material anymore.

[Berethor]

Good because no sane man would marry a woman like that, sounds like a win-win to me. :)

For me, I'm simply on my own boat of waiting for a serious relationship first..

But I feel like... There is a danger of watering down intimacy and closeness with your chosen life partner there is also of course std's and babies at the wrong time...

But overall it's a personal life choice that each person has to make for themselves

But I will say they you have to be mentally ready to have a one night stand connection with them as not everyone instantly bonds after a sexual experience

[Bhavin2184]

Don't like it...

[Don-_-Don]

As for people who do it, I'm indiffernet.

I tried hooking up once and I hated the entire experience, doesn't seem like it's for me.

[chriscdi]

not a fan

[genericname85]

pretty much a mixed bag. surely great for sexual exploration to know what you want from a partner early on, given you're responsible.

however combined with a horrible state of sex education, it's a recipe for teenage pregnancies.

[hellacray]

I personally choose not to be part of it.

And for those of you that do choose to take part in hooking up. Just don't complain about it afterwards.

[Danish87]

Well till one is single it's ok to satisfy the need without any emotional connection.

[Steve37]

I'm more of a relationship guy.

[BoxySama]

Was fun as a youth in New York city, but I don't know if I can play that game anymore

[asshole_]

HATE IT

[Tstrbrainer]

Fun, isn't it?

[Slim57]

It's a blight on society in my opinion

[Cryptic-Game]

It is not the wisest way to meet your future spouse.

[Corey_Italian]

I'm not big into the hookup culture. I'm more into having a meaningful relationship. Hooking up will eventually get old and it's too materialistic. There is so much more to life than having sex with different people all the time.

We have this one life to live. After we die, it's the end. So I believe we should live the one life we have to it's fullest potential, which means developing meaning relationships (true good friends) and having that one special relationship with your soul mate. Eventually we will die. More than likely you will die alone if you live the life of the hook up culture.
That's my opinion.
