What a perfect name, given the situation.

    Not that I would know anything about this, but I think sometimes it is very easy to get women at bars to go home with you, if the night, the alcohol, and the charm are right. I think a lot of it for a guy is a confidence thing.

Oh, no doubt. I like thinking about people's motivations though. On the night of that particular election, I know that emotions were running high for a lot of people, so that could have played into it. The woman's ego could have been at play, or maybe b_b reminded her of someone, or maybe she was hypnotized or, or, or . . .

Of course, this has led me to back out of potentially fun encounters at times. When I was about 20, an older woman, (a friend of my boss) came to my apartment while all of us roommates were having a party. She was pretty determined and hitting on all of us pretty hard. When we woke up the next day, she was gone.

The roommate that had ended up with her told us that she was absolutely filthy in bed. I could tell that the other two roommates, like myself, briefly wondered what could have been and if they would have been so eager to share the details.

On that night, I broke up with my long term senior year of high school/first year of college boyfriend. It was over text message.

(The break-up had been coming. We hadn't spoken for a week or so prior to that.)

Ah, how life changes.
