Some take the social mores of a hundred years ago seriously. Some don't. People should make up their own minds and act accordingly.

They invite you because you are hot ! No other reason. Men seem to be all smiles, but believe me, they are checking you out behind your back.

Why are they not bringing their wives? Cause the wife aint having it!

Dont be naive. Opposite sex may be friends at work, friends at the gym, but someone is looking to get lucky. Let your guard down, inebreated, and wake up to a bunch of half naked men in a room.

The little sister, with the big brothers, are these guys in LE by any chance?

And the wives have no idea that their husbands are hanging out with the OP. And I can guarantee they wouldn't like it one bit.

You can do whatever you want, of course. I'd be wary of the married thing with those men, but if you are not going home with them, you aren't doing anything terribly wrong.

These social mores keep being repeated by many posters on multiple threads, so I'd say they're pretty current.

You do know a woman wrote "When Harry Met Sally", right (Nora Ephron)?
She threw in a little bit of a sexist jab into it, correct?

Be careful. You could get comfortable going out drinking with them and sooner or later, you wake up naked with evidence that numerous men have "been with you" during your drunken state. Meanwhile, you're trying to piece together how things led to that and denying that you gave consent. This has happened more times than I care to hear about to numerous girls/women who've gone out drinking with a group of men/males by herself.

Bad idea. Bad, bad, bad idea. And I think you know it, too -- that's why you're asking.

Doesn't matter who wrote it, it's still true.

Not if he is gay, or has a low sex drive, or can do a good job of "compartmentalizing" his relationships into plutonic vs. not (men can be very good compartmentalizers). And besides, the quote is often true of women, too. They just do a better job of keeping it on the down-low and not admitting it.
