There's only one universal piece of advice you can give a person, man or woman, on the subject of dating, having sex, and finding love: you have to be confident. You have to strut, you have to swagger. You have to love yourself before someone's going to love you back, emotionally and physically. From the sound of this past week's Hooksexup Dating Confessions, everyone's running into self-esteem issues this summer. Relax. Read these and know you're not alone. Here's the week that was: July 10 2009, 07:44 p.m. "Ever since we broke up, I've come to hate almost everything I loved about you. You love your mom... so I overlooked your mommy issues. You have a great body... so I overlooked that you're a meathead bodybuilder who spends hours in the gym trying to compensate. You want to be a doctor... so I led myself into thinking you were compassionate when all you really want is the money and title. You were super-duper religious, so I tried not to be hurt when you outwardly felt guilty about having sex with a Protestant. You're friendly, so I cried through it when you constantly texted sexy comments to other girls. Good luck with the icy, Catholic, Stepford trophy wife you'll settle for and cheat on someday, Doctor Vain. Thank you for breaking up with me, now I want those three years back... And please stop texting me for bootie calls. It's painfully predictable." July 11 2009, 07:20 p.m. "I get unconsciously, physically excited whenever my phone beeps to tell me I have a new e-mail on the off-chance that it's from you. It's like you're Pavlov and I'm your dog." July 12 2009, 04:38 a.m. "Through cyberstalking, I found pics of you. You look like you have aged ten years within a year and a half. I knew you were taking steroids, but shit! And now you are dating a dominatrix from Hamburg, what a winner you found there. You both look like total sleaze. I am so glad I don't have to deal with your crap anymore." July 12 2009, 10:59 a.m. "I'm a liberal-leaning-toward-socialist, vegetarian man who often feels repulsed and enraged by the anti-intellectual, holy-roller attitudes of many Americans. As far as I know, I don't find excitement in transgressive, taboo things. I also have a girlfriend whom I love. So why the hell did my clearest, most memorable, racy dream in years co-star Sarah freaking Palin?" July 13 2009, 02:28 p.m. "The thing is, my crotch hasn't caught on to the fact that I decided not to sleep with you. I hope it catches on soon, it's making quite a case." July 13 2009, 04:31 p.m. "I wish I could do something to work against our society's unhealthy ideas about sex and sexuality. It's tragic when you think about how our attitudes and worst fears shape our behavior and can destroy relationships and careers. This goes so much deeper than gender roles and body image (for men and women); it's also about self-esteem, the ideal family/relationship structure, propriety, civil rights, human rights, shit — much of what organizes our lives. I'm really angry about this."   0 Comments   Leave a Comment Initials We are ardently committed to free expression, but we do expect Hooksexup visitors and contributors to interact respectfully and responsibly.
