This is my view of passion: It is rooted in genuine friendship. Chemistry may be two strangers exchanging smoldering looks – but passion has to be able to survive at least a twenty-minute conversation! I feel sorry for young people trying to find a true and lasting love in this age of the excruciatingly casual hook-up.
- Helen Simonson
Indeed. We live in such an awful time…
(In terms of the era of the hook-up, of difficulties between the sexes relating to each other, etc.)
I know of men who causally sleep with women who say what they really want is a lasting relationship. But the tactics used to casually bed a woman are not the tactics that you use to court and marry a woman! But they don’t want to stop the sex supply long enough to wait for the real thing…
Indeed, they are two very different things.
