Booty call; Was it or wasn't it?

Just to clear a few things up. I am the guy that archmichael was talking about in the original post. Some of you were talking like she hoped into bed with me sans clothing. Nope, didn’t happen. I have a couch and she had her stuff because she was originally planning on spending the night at her boyfriends.

It’s funny how things can get distorted a few posts down the line :wink:

Thanks to everyone for the responses.

Interesting…the questions that it raised.

  1. It’s only a booty call if it is consumated.
    I don’t necessarily agree. I might sound like a lawyer, but for me it is a booty call if the intent is there. Now not all booty calls are successful. The guy might be clueless. (I am not saying that far_star is). The girl might be too shy to initiate.

  2. Men and women can be involved in platonic relationship
    On the whole I agree with the concept, but like many great ideas it has a lot more believers than it has practitioners. Let’s face it. Some women, not all, but some women use their male friends as a reminder to their boyfriend/husband that they can be replaced very easily. I think Chris Rock call it “dick behind glass”. Men who can be used in case of an emergency.

There were some other aspects to this story that would help my argument but I didn’t tell you all because I wanted your opinions on just this one incident alone. I think she came over for sex, and couldn’t initiate it. But I think it stilled served its purpose. Sure she could have spent the night with one of her female friends, but it wouldn’t have been as effective in pissing her boyfriend off as staying with a male friend.

  1. Betrayal of trust
    This is where my views split from the mainstream. Which is more intimate, the act of sex or making an emotional connection? My wife and I, talk constantly about our desires, dreams, and hopes. It would horrify me if I were to find out that she was ‘intimating’ problems with our relationship to other men. Much more that the idea of her sleeping with another man.

I brought this up with far_star. If his friend is having serious issues with her relationship, she should be talking about it with one person, her boyfriend

That’s good advice, Archmichael. I asked my SO his opinion of this since I posted, and he agrees with me - neither of us would be running off to stay overnight with a member of the opposite sex if we had a fight. I think the best word to describe our feelings about this is “inappropriate”.

It wasn’t necessarily a booty call. But it’s very suspect. Was she planning on spending the night before she ever came over?

One time a friend of mine, a friend who used to be a fuck buddy, was having problems with her boyfriend. I went to her apartment at about 4 in the morning and we sat up and talked for a few hours and then I left. There was no sex, nor any sexual tension to speak of. I think it’s rude to take advantage of girls who are upset and vulnerable because they are having problems with the boyfriend. I prefer to hook up when a girl wants ME, and not just a night of sex to comfort her.

On another note, being a single guy in my early twenties, I hate hearing that attractive girls are taken. It’s so annoying!

IMHO your right to a point on this, but sometimes it helps to vent if you have somebody on your side that will just listen and validate your point of view rather than debate it. Also its sometimes easier to take critisim from a friend than it is to take from your SO. That being if said person might be wrong in his or her thinking of the arguement.

FWIW, I was kidding. Did a very poor job of it, apparently, but I was kidding.
