I am a 21-year-old college senior living in NYC. I have a problem hooking up with girls and just letting it be that: meaningless sex. My main problem is not wanting to to an asshole, which, in a city with 9 million people, is completely illogical. There can be 4 million assholes in the city, but you could go a whole week without running into one. I am not a fan of just using a girl for a fuck and then not talking with her ever again. This type of shit weighs me down. What should I do to avoid feeling like I’m an asshole after I hook up with someone? And, where’s the best place for me to find girls who won’t make me feel shitty for only wanting to fuck them?
Sincerely,
-AN ASSHOLE
Dear Asshole,
You’re not an asshole. This is a sweet question to have received. It reminds me of my office mate Wes, who wears ankle socks. Wait … is this Wes?!?! If it is, after you read this, knock on your desk five times and spin around in your chair. (Can you tell I just got back from Starbucks?)
OK, back to the question: You want to have a more meaningful sex life. One way to avoid that feeling of not using a girl and treating her like a dick after you fuck her is to NOT DO THAT. How about try this: jerk off four times a day and try to only have sex with girls you have crushes on for a month. If you don’t have sex as a result of you having no crushes, at least you’ve already jerked off twice and you can look forward to doing it twice more.
Oh wait, I see. This letter confused me a bit. The real problem is that you’re a pussy and you crush too hard on every girl you fuck? You WANT meaningless sex! Ahh, OK. Can I ask you something? WHY? Why do you want to be a jerk? Guys like you don’t grow on trees. But I hear what you’re saying. I often wish I can just have sex for the sake of having sex, but the truth is that sex isn’t that great for me when I don’t want to completely obliterate the guy I’m fucking with tons of passion and emotion. BUT I’M A GIRL.
Here’s what I think: Don’t try to change who you are. If you can’t have meaningless sex, then don’t. I think it’s cool that you get crushed out. I think it’s awesome. Please don’t try harder to become a fucking cliche. Remember that scene in Say Anything when Lilli Taylors says to Lloyd Dobler, “The world is full of guys. Don’t be a guy. Be a man.” We need more Lloyd Doblers in this world and if that freaks certain girls out, then fuck those girls.
What you can change is letting the girl know just how much of a pussy you really are. So you like them. So you want to write them letters and you want to attend outdoor music festivals just to hear her band play and be closer to her even though you hate outdoor music festivals. Do all of that but do it in spades, and always take care of yourself and do for you before you do for her. But don’t try harder not to care about her. It won’t work anyway. And maybe that makes you a bit of a pussy, and maybe your heart will break as a result, but so fucking what? Take that heartbreak. It will make you a better man, it will make you stronger and deeper. Not everyone gets a chance to be those things. Some people are meant to be assholes. The world is full of them! Don’t be an asshole. Be a fucking man.
Contrary to public opinion, being a man doesn’t mean you are supposed to treat girls like shit. It’s the opposite of that. It means being who you are and not being afraid to be that way. If you cry, then you cry. If you fall in love, you fall in fucking love. Little boys want to impress their friends and pretend they don’t feel certain things ’cause they’re afraid that they’ll get made fun of. Repressed homosexual jocks rape girls because they hate them because they feel like they’re supposed to love them but they don’t. Do you fit into either of these categories? NO!

P.S. The word “asshole” is mentioned too many times in both your letter and my response. I counted. It’s like 7 million times. We need more dick. Too much asshole. Think with your dick, not your ass. Actually no, don’t think with your dick. Think with your penis.




Just a thought but, I noticed that when I stopped blowing beer out my nose and throwing up on the dance floor, my positive interactions with women went wayyyyyy up.
homosexuals rape girls because they hate them?
dear asshole,
you’re gay, and you’re welcome.
“jerk off four times a day and try to only have sex with girls you have crushes on for a month.” This is how i live my life, but after seeing as how this advice comes from a woman, i wonder if im a giant pussy.
you could start by hanging out with me
Generally good advice, but I hate the presumption that girls can’t have meaningless sex without some kind of emotional fallout or feelings of shame and regret. I’m not saying all ladies can, but there are a lot of us who enjoy sex and don’t feel automatically used if we do it casually! If you’re fucking a stranger, guess what?! The person you are fucking is fucking a stranger too and probably has no interest in seeing you again. I think the best way to approach hooking up without being an asshole is to not be an asshole about it. Just be respectful and have fun (and a sense of humor about it too because having drunken sex with strangers is kind of inherently funny). It’s that easy!
I love being in relationships by my god this guy is like a girl with a dick. im pretty sure the sex sucks anyways and the girls don’t even want to go out him.
You have to realize that people are just objects to get what you want.
You smile and pretend that you like them but deep down you know that they are just obstacles to your success.
The problem is that you care too much about people in general.
If you practice being an asshole everyday pretty soon you’ll achieve your goals and you will be much happier.

I like wearing trench coats and dirty Jerry Seinfeld sneakers with baggy baggy pants tucked into my socks. If I were a real person, Street Carnage would give me no kittens.
Lesle’s right, you don’t want to be that asshole then don’t be…. No being a man does not mean being a jerk to every woman, but the commenter who pointed out that this presumes that women are incapable of casual sex without emotional fallouts is right too. It’s ok to be that guy who actually likes and enjoys relationships with women as people and sympathize, but don’t come off sounding high handed like your the one dude who feels uber empathy with woman, it sounds like a gimmick to appeal to the opposite sex by claiming to be all things they wish to find in male sensitivity. Just be a real dude, even a dude with a healthy respect for woman can have casual sex without being a jerk about it.
Let´s Work it out

@!!!: Sounds like you’re that easy. Let’s meet up.
The hell did you dig up that pic? Remember seeing that shit when i was 13 in the nineties. The nose vomit has haunted me since. Its not a hipster in a whalers shirt, just a fratboy who likes the hartford whalers.
Do amphetamines. Smoke some meth and go out. You will be a powerful asshole and get woman without caring about them. GA RAN STEED
Hang around with Gavin more hes a conservative asshole that thinks he was 17 again. Bless!
Though the whole asshole thing is so 90′s its, boring now and reading Takimag really rocks my boat.
Jesus, is it possible to ask a woman for relationship advice and not get a bunch of useless fluffy bullshit?
That’s a rhetorical question.
Lesley, enjoy getting old with your cats in Park Slope.
Dude asking the question-you’re gay. If you fall in love with some useless bitch you hooked up with, test whether you’re really in love with her by fucking another one or three on the side. If you’re still thinking about her, congrats, yr in luv. Odds are pretty good that this won’t happen if the litmus pussy is as hot or hotter.
SBTVC, please don’t give dickless, phoney nice guys like this any sort of attention. I used to be one and it only makes us worse.
Girls aren’t actually made out of glass dude. Repeat after me, as long as you don’t do harmful/rapey things to them, just having consensual sex with them is NOT GOING TO DESTROY THEM. GIRLS LIKE SEX TOO. Sometimes just to have sex, just like dudes do! You are giving gender differences way too much credit. You’re not a big bad wolf and you’re not going to blow their house down. Man, I’m 25, and you sound a lot like me when I was 20 or so, I really wish you could just buy man-up pills, but you can’t, it’s just something that you have to learn. All the above commentators are mostly assholes, but they’re also not wrong. You’re a guy, just own it. You sound kinda like you’re trying really hard to NOT to be some guy, I know how that is, so YOU’RE NOT YOUR ASSHOLE DRUNK DAD(or whoever), you’re a nice dude, you turned out fine, and you don’t have to be an asshole. What you do have to do though: BE A MAN. 1. Get some male friends, stop just hanging out with girls, yeah, they’re nice, but you’ll never learn anything about being a man by hanging out with girls. You don’t have to hang out with douches, but have some guy time, pencil it in. 2. Stop shaving. I picture you with a baby-face, that’s bad, women that you want to sleep with don’t want to sleep with babies, and your smooth visage totally advertises “Hi, I’m totally young, and any sex we are about to have will probably be boring and fumbling, choose me as like, you’re third choice. maybe.” 3. Find a role model. Figure out what kind of man you would like to grow into, do you have uncles? Which ones are awesome? Copy them. It’s ok to copy people, no-one is original, just don’t be super obvious. 4. Be a guy so girls can be girls. It’s like a dance, right now you are dancing like a girl with girls and it’s confusing the fuck out of everyone and you’re stepping on toes. Even feminist girls get confused by this shit. So, stop talking. Guys don’t talk that much. Maybe get a real close buddy that’s a nice dude like you that you can share shit with once a week, and then clap your trap. Girls need to talk and your role is to listen, when you respond too much it puts you in the “friend box”. I imagine you know what that is. Also don’t listen to everything she says, honestly 40% of what girls say is fucking useless and they are just talking because they are nervous or bored, or just because girls have to talk. If it’s actually important you’ll hear it again. You’re the rock. You have to be the steady one that she leans up against when she falls apart. That’s your role. I know that no-one explained that to you, it’s ok. 5. Own wanting to fuck girls. It’s ok that you want to fuck girls, they want you to. There’s no way that you are a creeper, your sweetness shines through, you could probably get away with saying some really raunchy shit even because girls can tell that you aren’t a rapist or a threat. You’re not a bad person for feeling lust towards girls. It’s cool, they feel weird about it too. 6. Stop being a pussy in bed. Yes, eating pussy is good, I bet you’re really well practiced because you feel weird about dominating women. Women want you to. You’re not an asshole, so it’s ok to say this to you, but women want you to be in the lead in bed. Mostly, anyway, I imagine you don’t attract a ton of fem-doms, but you might look into that too. Remember the dance analogy; you’re leading, she’s responding. You don’t have to be PC in bed. You have to be safe, you have to be conscious of what she’s into, and you have to have consent, but don’t be a wimp in bed. Bite her lip really softly when you’re making out (softly!) if she responds “ow”, you’re in for some boring-ass vanilla sex(they kind that you’ve been having). But she’ll probably respond well as long as you don’t bite to too hard. Bite her earlobe. Pull her hair a little. Grab her ass once you’ve been making out a while. Do it gently at first to gauge her reaction, you’re probably too good at judging people’s comfort level, so you’re fine, and you can totally ask this stuff verbally if you want to. 7. You’re 21, you’re fucked. Remember in high school when all your female friends dated older dudes and you got left out? That’s still going on. Girls like older dudes, which for you, at 21, means like, 17 year olds, which is out of the question and sucks. You need to accrue some stories, some tattoos, some hobbies, all that shit and it takes time. Once you’re 25 or so you’ll be able to sleep with 20 year olds, and you’ll find out that they’re bat-shit crazy and you weren’t missing a whole lot anyway. Here’s the big thing, and it’s messed up. Your value in the dating world is only going to go up as you get older, grey hair at your temples, stupid faded tattoos, these are all assets. Just like a wine has to age to get all its flavors you gotta go through some shit and get beat up by the world a bit to prove to women that you won’t fall apart on them and that they can build a life around you being steady. If you are a little older and haven’t totally fallen apart and aren’t immature, you’re going to fucking clean up in your mid 20′s. Don’t worry about finding the love of your life in your 20′s that a girl rule, think 30′s, when you’re stable and have a job that doesn’t suck completely. Fuck, I really wish that someone had broken all this down for me, when I was 21, but learning it for yourself is really important.
Holy crap Blastodon….. You’re right.
tl:dr, haha
Also if you move to NYC you can keep having sex with 20 somethings until you’re 40
so. many. words.
look buddy stop thinking so much. fuck if you want to fuck and don’t fuck if you don’t. whoever you just banged will get over you as soon as she’s drunk off of all those seabreezes the next douche in a backwards hat and cargo shorts buys her so no guilt necessary. if you honestly think you might like a girl try having a few sober conversations outside of a bar to see if you really could click or at least find out her last name before you fill her out like an application.
5 posts up from this one there’s a long post. dont waste your time. i didn’t.
