I'm Only In Town For One Night...

Las Vegas...

You know the mantra. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."...

I have been to Vegas two times. The first time I was in law school and went with 3 of my great girl friends. The second time I went with some of my sorority sisters and had a ridiculous amount of fun. I had a cute little Vegas fling. The guy I kicked it with was someone I once had a crush on, he didn't know it though. We flirted that weekend, acted like a couple, kissed and cuddled. NO BOOTY WAS HAD... I REPEAT....NO BOOTY WAS HAD. I let him rub my elbows though. That was MAD weird. He had a thing for rubbing elbows...ahaha

Anywho...

Some of THE GIRLS and I have planned a trip to Las Vegas to celebrate three of their birthdays. These are some of my girls from a different jurisdiction, so I anticipate a ridiculous level of ignorance, laughter and kicking it. I will definitely be taking it back to my roots by hanging with them. Today I was on the phone with one of them when she abruptly announced, "Yeeeeeaaaa...Imma have me that Fi' One Night Stand in Vegas."

*COUGH*

I reply, "Um, WHO are you having a One Night Stand with ? Who do you know down there ?"

She replies, "Hell with WHOEVER...Imma pick me one...get it in and that's that BABAAAYY.... " I inform her that if she is going to do all that for free she might as well get paid for it. To wit she responds, "Babaaay... I aint shame... I'll go to that Bunny Ranch and shake a lil something too for some money."

Now, I know she was playing...(I think).

I have heard plenty stories from my male friends about their one night episodes. They go to a club, scout out a woman based upon what she was drinking and then WHAM..they get it in for the night and it's over. I have been told that women drinking "Incredible Hulks" (i.e. - Hennessy and Hypnotiq) get it in faster than any other woman.

But be clear.... smart, beautiful, independent and "innocent" women get it in also. I have heard stories of women "mistakenly" having sexual intercourse with one of their brother's friends just for one night as well as tales of women being seduced into one time escapades via vocal serenades from a man. Hell, some women have even expressed that they had sexual escapades with an unsuspecting man after a bad break up. It definitely happens with the woman being the aggressor. Their mindset is, "Let me get this real quick...take the edge off and I won't EVER have to see him again...hopefully."

I honestly think there are deeper underline issues that cause women to seek one night stands, especially the women I know. Though most of the previous stories took place when they were in their 20's, it's prone to happen and has been pursued by 30 year old women as well who have dreams and intentions of marrying and having children in the NEAR future. One night stands are neither physically nor emotionally safe. The women always have some residual mess to deal with afterwards, whether its feeling bad or verbal backlash once they figure out the person with whom they had this secret rendezvous with runs in the same circle of friends.

So what's the point ?

There really isn't one. I just wanted to shed some light on the subject. It happens and EVERY woman I know who participated in them has had some sort of regret. EXCEPT the ones that were called back, flown to the man's home town, taken on trips and then asked for a monogamous relationship... suckers !!!
