Ask Nell
As a college senior, I’ve been forced to make therealization that there is life after college. Lots to see, lots todo, and lots to learn. I was recently introduced to a group ofpost-college extraordinaires who have taught me a great deal notonly about what lies ahead, but also thoughtful tidbits ofinspiration about what they wish they would’ve known back incollege.
I decided to take all of this a step further and interview asmany post-college people, ranging in age from 24 to 68 years old,about the best sex and dating advice they know to give to a collegeaudience. So, thanks to the old bachelor pad for this idea, andhere it goes …
Question: What advice would you give to college students aboutsex and dating that you have learned since your beer guzzling almamater days?
Roger, 31,account manager
“I would have been a lot more selective.”
So, you’re telling me you were a male slut…
“I’d prefer ‘experienced,’ but I metsome wonderful women I just blew off.
Appreciate your relationships.”
Matteo, 30, food connoisseur
“I was that guy running around the party with no pants on.I was wild, but still a big hit with the ladies. I guess Ishouldn’t have been such a gentlemen. It did get me laid alot though. God I miss college.”
Anthony, 25, account manager
“Honestly, I had a great time. Just have fun. Oh, andalways use condoms.”
Sara, 28, business developer
“You’re making me feel old. … Hmm. Be true toyourself. Do what you want when you want to. Don’t let anyonetalk you into anything.”
Joe, 34, lawyer
“Don’t take so much stock in what people say. No onereally understands their emotions in college. Also, experiment asmuch as possible. Things aren’t as easy in the real world asthey are in college. People will do some crazy [things.]”
Tom, 33, telecommunicator
“Do as much of both as possible.”
Bess, 68, “soap opera watcher”
“There was this one time, back in the ‘60s at the[Rolling] Stones concert, and I met this adorable college boy thathad the craziest …”
M’am, I think that’s enough..
Steve, 31, lawyer
“I’ll tell you this much. You won’t have areal career ‘til you’re 30, a real relationship‘til you’re 25, and no clue who you are untilyou’re 40.”
Terry, 52, “I’d tell you, but I’d have to killyou”
“Don’t even think about marriage. Have fun withdating. Sex? Oh, explore that too. Young people are veryflexible.”
Flo, 30, professional mackdaddy and bartender
“Be selective with your serious relationships. Always telleveryone the truth. Don’t ever go home thinking you’llget laid. It’s surprising how many girls come home with youand then want to ‘sit and talk.'”
Patrick, 39, Bartender
“Did somebody say ‘used condoms’? That’sdisturbing. Oh, and watch out for‘arm-munchers.'”
Sir, I have no clue what you are talking about.
It usually happens after about 10 Tuaca shots.
