When I was younger there were a few who were in the âhookup cultureâ and I always envisioned myself being one of them. However, something inside me always held me back and I chose instead to date exclusively for the long term. I can see the draw to it as a male having the opportunity to be with multiple âunkownâ or known women but something in my heart prevents me from doing it. I find the love of a single woman and having a family far outweighs the short lived good feelings of âhooking upâ.
