Noooooooooooo....what he said was "Probably half (actually more) of the weddings i've been to in my life came from "one night stands" (hook ups) that never ended."
That is totally different, but still very interesting. You need to slow your roll and read before you explode all over the page.
You need to not tell me what I need to do. You need to understand that I exactly read what he said, I find it outlandish. You are free to agree with him, me or neither, but make sure you slow your own roll first.

Then why did you completely misrepresent what I said?
And what is outlandish of people marrying people they meet and go home with?
"A lot of marriages are the result of one-night stands" (what timber said) is not the same thing as "A lot of one-night stands result in marriage" (what BPF read).
Mine wasn't the result of a one-night stand, but pretty close to it.

You said, "Stop? Why should it stop? Probably half (actually more) of the weddings i've been to in my life came from "one night stands" (hook ups) that never ended.
That is outlandish.
You are saying, based on you personal experience, that ONS more often than not end in marriage. And while that can be true occasionally, such a statement ignores the fact that most (way less than 50 percent) ONS don't. Not to mention that they can be dangerous, much more dangerous than driving a car (as was you analogy). I personally don't believe, that a good parent would ever encourage what you seem to in the bolded quote. You see, it's one thing to argue a point for the sake of such in a forum, but I doubt you would encourage it with your children should you have them. But you might actually be that guy.

Do you not understand that the converse of an assertion is not necessarily true? He made a statement about marriages. 50% of marriages. He made no assertion about the percentage of one night stands that result in marriage.

No, I am not saying that ONS more often than not end in marriage. I said probably half (or more) of the weddings I went to came from ONS.
Those are completely different statements. They are in no way the same thing. I have zero idea why you think they may be the same.
And I never said I would encourage anyone to have a ONS. I said they should do what is right for them.
Can a ONS be dangerous? Maybe rarely so, especially if drugs/alcohol are used and no protection is used, but they can also be a ton of fun. Connecting with new people and having hot sex can be a ton of fun. A lot of men and women love them. Personally, I've only had a few in my life, I'm just not suave enough to pull them off.

You're gonna stroke out, BPF...I'm not a great fan of ONS but sometimes they happen and when they do, sometimes they turn into something more. I think that's more often the case when both are a little older and know what they want, and they want to settle down. They pick better right out of the chute and then they know better and faster if the person they picked was right for the longer term.
So yeah, a ONS isn't REALLY a ONS when it continues - does it EVER become respectable, or at least acceptable to you?
The only reason people aren't having sex is because of Fear of Exposure.
And maybe Fear of Pregnancy.
Ah the 60s...they gave us Free Love then turned around and said Hang On It Was Only Meant for Us, Not For You
Thusly S1ut shaming was born
**** shaming was born in the 60's? LOL
