Red Flag #70: She’s never had a one night stand…
“I can remember my first one-night stand like it was yesterday. Well, maybe not the first. Or the second, or the fifth. I’ll just begin with what I can remember and not concern myself with order.” ~Chelsea Handler
It’s tough being a woman, sure. From a very young age, you’re supposed to be a princess. A good girl. Your parents love you, not just because you are their creation, but because they’re reminded of their youth and innocence. There’s a tremendous amount of pressure to maintain that innocence as you grow up.
At an early age, you start to develop a rigidity that is a function of your childhood development. But who wouldn’t? After all, you’re tired of the nerds and the jocks getting all up in your shit during Shaggy’s Mr. Boombastic at your 7th grade dance. You’re tired of going to the mall and not being able to shop at 5-7-9 without getting gawked at by every guy that passes you by. Fast forward 10 years and replace Shaggy with Kanye and the mall with the bar, and we understand your propensity for refusing to let those panties drop.
But it’s still a red flag.
Never having a one night stand is like never eating a whole tub of Ben & Jerry’s when you’re pissed or depressed. It’s like never skipping class. Or never yelling at someone when they’re being an idiot. A one night stand represents your ability to give in to your emotions – to express them without regard for what anyone else thinks. It’s your decision. It’s your body. It’s your life.
Every once in a while, in life, you need to say “fuck it”. If we go out with a girl who claims she’s never had a one night stand, there’s a 100% chance that that girl is not embarrassed by that, a 98% chance that she’s proud of it, and a 90% chance that she’s horrible in bed. What you’re telling us is not “I’m a good, responsible girl”. You’re telling us “I’m a girl who doesn’t have the ability to let my guard down, to live in the moment, and to do something that society has told me is wrong.”
If you’re a girl who falls into this category, live your life, have some fun, and have some amazing, uninhibited sex that you’ll never forget.
