The best part of waking up: He will never call you again

A friend of mine has been a victim of a quickly growing prank that men play on unsuspecting women. It is what they call “hogging.” I only know about this because I have heard some of my guy friends talk about what their friends are doing. It is a sad and pathetic prank that ladies need to watch out for.
This especially occurs in bars on busy nights. I feel that because of our culture here in Stevens Point and the state in general it is an important issue you need to be informed about.
When guys that decide they will go ‘hogging” that night, the guy(s) go out, get drunk and look for women that seem to have a lower self-esteem and may not get picked up at a bar that often, or as my guy friend called them: fat, ugly chicks. But really, it can happen to all women. The guys tell them what they want to hear and make them feel good about what they have on or how they look.
After they are all buttered up, the guy proceeds to get their phone number and may even give them his, and tells them he will call them later. He leaves. My friend’s acquaintance completely disappeared.
The next part may play out differently for each individual situation. They go home that night and receive a text from him about an hour after the bars closed. They begin to talk dirty via text and then he calls her, asks her where she lives and he comes over. With her consent, of course.
From there, they fool around, have sex, whatever. He also makes sure to do a good job of being real rough with her, even to the point of hurting her.
Then, of course, he never calls her again. Ladies, believe me, this is the best part.
Some of you may be reading this thinking, “why would a woman fall for something like this?” In the heat of the moment, with alcohol in the system, it is really easy to do. Just ask my friend.
Anyway ladies, I know you are out there. You feel bad enough about yourself that you will take anything you can get. You will even let him hurt you because you are getting some kind of sexual attention. Don’t let douche bags like this make you feel even worse. You’re beautiful. You deserve better.
