When the final set of the night begins to spin and you’ve yet to receive attention from the one-and-only you’ve been stalking all night, it can be all too easy to give up hope and lower that bar, knock back another drink and settle for the company of a contender you just know you’ll regret in the morning.
Other than a general lack of attraction and possible bad breath, there are many reasons to leave your standards where they lie and reject raunchy requests from people you’re not interested in.
While a little validation in the form of a snog can bring up plummeting self confidence come 3am, exercising caution and harnessing the true power of rejection is certain to pay off in the end.
If you’re a regular at the venue, chances are the hotty you initially had your eyes on will be there again. While he or she may not have walked in your direction tonight, mathematical geometry tells us that placing oneself in the same venue multiple times will result in the very real possibility of getting a glance.
You just never know what the future (and/or creeping around a hotty) holds.
One thing is certain though- making out with someone way below your level to help fill a hook-up void will only gain your sweetheart’s attention for all the wrong reasons.
When you do finally come into contact with the creature you really are interested in, you don’t want a one liner about ‘sloppy seconds’ being thrown into the mix.
Next time you consider lowering your standards in a moment of anguish, remember: when in doubt, reject and avoid regret.
