<p>love it! sky, you desperately need to read a book called The V Club by Kate Brian. In fact, anyone on this board would love it - even though the book jacket makes it seem as though it’s a bunch of girls starting a Virginity Club…it’s SO NOT WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT. that book is probably the most honest, true-to-reality portrayals of high school life i’ve ever read, and is so incredibly funny and well written. anyone who is interested in this thread topic should def. check it out!</p>
<p>calidan-- it’s only libel if it isn’t true and is communicated to a third party by form of writing. example-- Lindsey posts a message on her school’s forum about how Anna the valedictorian cheats on every test and that’s how she got where she is. </p>
<p>that’s libel. and slander is the spoken version.</p>
<p>ah, how I love torts.</p>
<p>I read that book…its funny and not what you would think from reading the cover…good for some light beach or relaxing reading…</p>
<p>(sorry I hijacked the dartmouth thread…oops. its just this thread is addicting.)</p>
<p>btw good luck to you all</p>
<p>“Oh, and Ghaleon, friends? It’s finals week here…”</p>
<p>Of course. I understand the stress, though I’m trying to avoid thinking about it.</p>
<p>“Couldn’t that be considered libel (if it was deragatory)?”</p>
<p>It seems that <em>NO, I AM NOT CALLING RASPBERRYSMOOTHIE A WHORE</em> if you called someone a whore, it would be harassment, as proving the whore statement to be unjustified (as a libel case would) would be either difficult or…just weird.</p>
<p>Wow, what a conversation!</p>
<p>I liked what I saw at dartmouth. Raspberry is probably right about there being very little primping and pimping. Ive spent a lot of time in Californiathey do not abstain from same. lol</p>
<p>As far as sex-sexual proclivities are concerned, casual hook-ups lead to casual hook-ups leading to casual hook-ups; as fun as it may seem, I think it becomes part of your attitude towards love/sex that makes monogamy at some future date more of a struggle (relationships
marriage) and puts emotional pressure on two true-lovers.
I think it makes a relationship somewhat more difficult when you are with someone who feels one-nite-stands and hook-ups are part of their game; it seems to take away a little bit of the intimacy you tend to feel in a relationship.
Im not being judgmental, what someone else does is fine, I would just feel less comfortable being in a relationship with them.</p>
<p>I personally disagree, Kalidescope. Hooking up with random people or friends is often HELPFUL in finding a longer-term boy/girlfriend. It helps boost your confidence and sexual skill, helps you feel more comfortable with the opposite/same sex, and also you could gain some friends in the aftermath. Plus, it relieves stress and anxiety concerning performance.</p>
<p>As for attractiveness at D… there are a lot of lower-key girls, but LORD there is a set of over-primped NYC/city girls and/or “jersey-chasers” who dress like skanks and flirt with as many athletes as possible in frat basements (probably doing more than that…) They have too much makeup on, show too much skin, wear too-tight clothes and have too few redeeming qualities. I’ve talked to the guys who they dote on and even they don’t really like them. Sort of sad that there’s a large subset of these girls at an Ivy League school.</p>
<p>GhaleonQ-- it can’t be harassment just for words, unless they are “fighting words”. That would lead to far too many frivolous lawsuits…also a curbing of free speech.</p>
<p>i promise, the law stuff ends there! sorry!</p>
<p>this reminds me, last year about this time there was a fight between two guys, usamad and me, actually, but I don’t remember what my SN was. he goes to dartmouth, I don’t know him, though.</p>
<p>Downindreams,</p>
<p>I wish you a long-term relationship with somebody who loves hookin-up. lol</p>
<p>I suppose you are right hooking-up could boost the confidence of those needing a boost, it could also lower the confidence and sefl-esteem of others, I would think: a lot of good times and lowered expectations. But, certainly, to each their own–we are who we are and we’ll live it out as we see fit.
I’m just speaking of myself and those I enjoy, not those that I “judge.” I’m happy around both kinds, I just prefer a relationship with one a bit more than the other. Nobody should feel pressured one way or the other.
Right now, I just hope to make a lot of great friends. Hope to see you in Hanover.</p>
<p>This conversation has died…yet it was so interesting.</p>
<p>I’m bumping it up.</p>
<p>If it dies again, so be it</p>
<p>alright, well here are two questions:</p>
<p>how often does the average person have sex at D?
are most girls there on birth control?</p>
<p>sirwonkalus,</p>
<p>37.3 times a week if they are over 5’ 2" tall, somewhat more if less.
2% on birth control so you better look elsewhere; also, avoid Vatican City.</p>
<p>Are you serious?!?!</p>
<p>lol this isn’t really abuot Dartmouth but we were just discussing it in Gov and it’s KIND of relevant…in our textbook there was a case of some guy in Wisconsin described as the quintessential deadbeat dad. he fathered FIFTEEN KIDS on FOUR different mothers, owes over 25000 dollars in child support which he refuses to pay. the courts decided that he shouldn’t go to jail, where he’d def not be able to pay child support, but if he had another child, he’d go straight to jail. then he was all, “I have a constitutional right to procreate!” meanwhile, there was another argument to just NEUTER him outright. interestingly, the women on the jury all voted for him (as in, he wouldn’t have to pay child support) and the men all voted against him. they ended up upholding the decision: out of jail, but if he gets another woman pregnant, he goes straight to the slammer.</p>
<p>incredibly enough, two of the women he had impregnated begged the court not to neuter him. even though two of the 15 children are both aged 13, and by different mothers.</p>
<p>lol. comments?</p>
<p>Thanks for the attitude, Kalidescope. That really helps.</p>
<p>Bluirinka, that actually kinda sounds like some of the guys who go to my school. Boy am I glad to be getting out of Georgia.</p>
<p>lol, Kalidescope</p>
<p>I think people at Dartmouth hook up more than any other Ivy, that’s for sure. I think when you run into people you know all the time at parties, things just happen. Also, everyone is really cool about it, no one really cares too much.</p>
<p>hold on… do you mean people are completely nonchalant about randomly hooking up with people… or does hooking up mean something less in new hampshire??</p>
<p>No, people just arent that judgemental at all. I think its because at Dartmouth you have more opportunities. The classic meet in a frat basement, go onto the dance floor, go home isnt possible at every school. Also, since its a really tight school, everyone is very comfortable with each other. </p>
<p>People really don’t have as much sex though compared to other places I think. More “fooling around.” I think it means as much at Dartmouth as anywhere else.</p>
<p>kind of ironic, isn’t it, considering all the things said on this thread, that Penn is called “The Social Ivy”, haha…all evidence to the contrary</p>
<p>Hm, well, I’m a huge prude, but I don’t really care what anyone else does. Except my roommate. I don’t care what she does, as long as she does it elsewhere.</p>
