Editor’s Note

All this talk about hookup buddies this week really sparked my thinking about who really comes out on top when such a relationship ends. Obviously at least one partner feels a little sting once the midnight booty calls subside and most of the time the person left with a tub of Ben&Jerry’s, a five-pound weight gain, and the Lifetime Movie Channel is the girl. Honestly, a man with a constant hookup is one lucky fella. He has the freedom to ogle, fondle, flirt, and screw any girl his little (emphasis on the word ‘little’) heart desires. Then at the end of night when his expert pick-up line arsenal of, “You have really pretty eyes.” or “So, you come here often?” shockingly fails he has a backup waiting to cater to his every fumbling, drunken need. However, I had a feministic surge of pride after readingthis weeks He Said/She Said question. Finally a girl is leaving a hookup, gaining power and (BONUS) a really hot man…not a shabby parting gift. Personally I think this girl should take her smug self complete with sexy, committed arm candy and leave this guy to wallow in the memory of the on-call sex he never fully appreciated. Besides, this guy will not be mourning long and certainly not for her. In no time at all another unassuming, charmed girl will step up to relieve his every sexual frustration but, as exemplified by this weeks stunning example of “girl on top,” the tables may be turning.
Perhaps in a few weeks Dave Luna will be writing about the bruised, broken men who cannot seem to find girls who see them as something more than a sexual object when they’re feeling feisty.
