Liberal opponents of George W. Bush in the past presidential election went even further by repeatedly referring to him as a Frat Boy. That term is even more revealing as it is used almost exclusively by males that apparently acquired deep personal resentment during their college years towards the groups of guys that supposedly were far more successful than they with the ladies. Manhood and personal attractiveness seem to be the underlying issues.
This post is about decency, not political correctness. Fraternity men are just as offended by the deliberate slur Frats as Native American women are to Squaw, Japanese people are to Japs and you know the others.
Yes, I belong to a fraternity. The same one as John Wayne and Barry Goldwater.
Sorry, my friend, but you truly could not be further off the mark. My allusions to "frat guys" are based solely upon my personal and anecdotal experience with the barnyard mentality exhibited by so many males in their late adolescences and so beautifully parodied by the movie Animal House and late Burweiser beer commercials. The Male Patter Behavior we're talking about involves loud, boorish language, copious consumption of malt beverages, and coarse, crude views of females, their anatomies, and their place in society.
I'm glad that you've had rewarding personal experiences along Greek Row, and I'm glad that I did NOT pledge, although I was rushed extensively. It just wasn't my "cup-o-tea." To each their own.
As for personal taste in women - I like the very antithesis of what the typical college male thinks of as a "hot babe." I like slender, tender, demure and supple - modest bustline, small waist, slender legs. Not SKINNY - just slender. Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Lead female dancer Jean Butler in Riverdance. Kristi Yamaguchi, the ice skater. Goldie Hawn before the fakes. Demi Moore looked great before the fakes. Helen Hunt looked great before the fakes.
You get the idea. Anything over a small B-cup ("a mouthful") just doesn't do it for me, and experience over the years has proven to me that the "hot babes" rarely are when (ahem) it "comes right down to it."
