In this article it described that when people look for hook ups they deliberately choose people they do not like. Does anyone else find this extremely insulting and degrading? Wouldn't you hate to be chosen not knowing the person secretly hates you or dislikes you? Sounds like a snare.

I read the article. I wouldn't say dislike is the right word, but I think it refers more to someone you have no intentions of being a relationship with. It's quite an insult to those that are better relationship material because those people have to settle for sloppy seconds while their SO was slutting it up and having casual sex.

Hooking up does not benefit anyone. It's a significant reason as to why STDs are so common and it damages people emotionally. Once you start having casual sex and hooking up, sex doesn't mean anything after a certain point.

Don't live your life by what an article tells you to do. Life's too short to have sex with someone you dislike. Think about it... the whole concept is just asinine.

If I am hooking up with someone, I am not the person I thought I was.

Hey, love is the answer! But while you're waiting for the answer sex raises some pretty good questions.

Personally though, I myself have never engaged in the "hook up" or casual sex thing.

I am going to suspect that a hook is more about getting off and having fun, nothing more than that. You are not going to spend time thinking do you hate or like that person. It is more about ease than anything else.

You sound bitter. Just because sex doesn't mean anything to you after a certain point, doesn't hold true for the rest. Such a response sounds shallow and smells of insecurity. Especially the "hooking up doesn't benefit anyone" theory. Sorry, I don't subscribe to the "sex is strictly for procreating" logic.
And this isn't about infidelity. This is about no strings attached sex. Why do people who are "better relationship material" have to settle for sloppy seconds? If these people who are hooking up are not the right material, why are you wanting a relationship with them? I have some theories as to why you made such comments, but I'll refrain from stating them.

Why would anyone have sex with someone they don't like. That's just beyond stupid.

Has nothing to do with being bitter. I suggest you drop the condescending attitude and insults if you want to be taken seriously.
