EDIT TO THE TITLE: “One third of marriages start with a hook up.”

And surprise surprise, these marriages end up being low quality/short term ones, as opposed to healthy relationships cultivated the more “traditional way.”

No, a man isn’t going to fall in love with you if you decide to sleep with him on the first date. A relationship purely driven by sexual attraction is an absolute recipe for disaster when it comes to a long term, monogamous and respectful marriage.

Personally, I won’t become exclusive to men who I only experience a pure lust driven attraction to. Yes the sex might be hot, but that’s not enough to formulate a healthy relationship. How many other women did he have animalistic sex with on the first date? Food for thought.

Here is the study on how one third of marriages start with a hookup: https://www.thecut.com/2014/08/third-of-marriages-begin-with-a-hookup.html

Please don’t fall for this scam. Just because your coworkers third cousin who lives in Nantucket hooked up with a random guy through a one night stand and got married to him, doesn’t mean it’s an indicator of a healthy relationship.
