I spend a considerable amount of time drinking and bar-hopping all over DC, including Georgetown, and I've come to the conclusion that most--if not all--of all these supposed notorious 'sexual exploits' by rich frat boy Republicans is largely exaggerated.
The funny thing is, girls here in DC actually don't care much for the frat boy types or the gel-haired guido hipsters that infest places like Georgetown and Adam's Morgan at night.

Well, most of the guys aren't wild about them either. Seems like they're playing it all for themselves and for the water-cooler talk with their buds. Some people graduate high school but never truly leave...
Makes me laugh. At least a little. These are your basic Al Bundy types with a couple of extra years of boozing on some campus tossed in, no doubt at Daddy's expense. They are working on the bottom layer of a tall pyramid and don't realize that there's no way up from where they are. They are just doing the dirty work for the real people who could do it faster and better themselves, but don't have the time. By thirty, these clowns will have burned out and moved back to Topeka to take over as the night-shift Desk Manager at the Holiday Inn. And for the rest of their lives, they'll be telling folks how they were once big wheels on the fast track down in Washington, DC, but the rat race just got to them after a while and they had to get back to the real world in order to save their sanity. Right, Al...
LOL! Thanks for the laugh. That's the exact same image that was conjured up in my head after reading that piece. Total "I scored four touchdowns in one game in high school" types.
These are the sorts of guys who while they may have plenty of drinking buddies, if they were ever to have a serious medical problem, wouldn't have a soul visiting them in the hospital, and it would take such a scare to perhaps jolt them into reality, as many will continue to lead lives sans any sort of reflection or conscious otherwise, up until the days of them being 50 years old, going through their third divorce and drinking on the job of the used car lot they work at. I don't really pay them much mind as they're basically a joke that everyone but them is in on. It can certainly be equally infuriating and laughable to read about them, but by the same token, I think it's blissfully clear that these guys are on the road to a long life of misery and failure. Good ole karma....
The DC hipsters hang out in the U District and are much too busy to spend their money on drinking or bar hopping. Most of them are living off their mom's and daddy's trust funds and trying to find themselves as "artists".
A popular hang out now seems to be the increasingly popular 14 U Cafe.
A lot of them may call themselves "Liberals" or "Democrats" but they never have any true political convictions, because that would be too sincere. Sincereity is something that evades the hipster. You'd never find a hipster out on the street with a picket sign protesting Bush, for example (even though they may protest him from afar) . You will find them wearing T-Shirts that say "New Mexico: Just like the regular Mexico only cleaner".
I am not a hipster, but because I'm a musician I hang out with this crowd and know them. They may try to in an ironic sort of way copy bar hopping corporate types, but their beer of choice is still PABST Blue Ribbon and instead of Dave Matthews its Graham Parsons and a lot of hipsters just are too plumb broke to get dates because they're always spending money on their fixed gear bicycles or updating their vinyl record collection.
And they never wear hair gel. Ever. Thats Midtown. They never wash their hair, or have shag haircuts with bangs. As in effect to rebel against the spiked hair ,SUV driving Dave Matthews Band loving, CD buying, Starbucks slurping non-hipsters. Oh- and hipsters work at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble while ironically gripeing about how corporate it is. But they would never drink Starbucks coffee.
