I have been a victim of Stupid Woman Syndrome more times than I like to admit, but derive some small comfort from the fact that most of my friends have also done stupid, expensive, dangerous things for love/lust. I am a bit suspicous of the women I know (only a very few) who haven’t done so. Usually they have led very narrow, sheltered lives and are exceedingly judgmental toward us “mere mortals.”
I got caught. I was 20, though. We got caught by the police and thoroughly humiliated. I will never, ever consider sex in a car again because of this.
But as for stupid stuff, I can’t go one higher than having sex without birth control. More than once, no less. Yeah. Not doing that ever again, either.
One late night, back in the early 80s, a guy gave me a BJ right on a busy NYC corner. Not near the building, but right out by the curb, with cars and pedestrians going by.
He was drunk, but I was not. And he was someone I had wanted for a long time, so I could hardly refuse him, right? Definitely stupid, based on nothing but lust.
I invited a girl to be my roomate in grad school out of lust. It ended badly because we both behaved badly.
