I'll grant you that the female testimony is more compelling on this point than the male testimony, since they have less incentive to stick to the narrative of 'look how many strangers I hooked up with!'. Although the line <i>"the only thing missing is privacy -- nearly everyone is stuck with a roommate. "</i> would make it a little harder. Then again, people seem to find ways around it on college campuses all the time.<br /><br />My basic guess, though, is that, like everywhere else in life, it depends a lot on your game. Since jocks might tend towards natural alphas, there's probably a fair-sized selection component working in favor of it being a hookup town.<br /><br />So to that extent, I'd wager that it probably is a fantastic place to pick up if you've got some tight game, if you've got any game at all you've got a pretty good chance of scoring with at least somebody, and if you've got no game, it ultimately won't help you much.Shylock Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421115441614742339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764328218611568829.post-73025077865015306042012-08-07T17:06:09.653-07:002012-08-07T17:06:09.653-07:00You can theorize like an idiot, or you can look at...You can theorize like an idiot, or you can look at the data.<br /><br />http://espn.go.com/olympics/summer/2012/story/_/id/8133052/athletes-spill-details-dirty-secrets-olympic-village-espn-magazine<br /><br />And even if you consider what (even FEMALE) athletes say "cheap talk", here's some hard data for you (from the article):<br /><br />Then, at the 2000 Sydney Games, 70,000 condoms wasn't enough, prompting a second order of 20,000 and a new standing order of 100,000 condoms per Olympics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
