"Penthouse Magazine just ran a piece on "Geek Love," where they describe how Comic-Con has become a new hot spot for hookups. I'm always slightly skeptical whenever the mainstream press decides to sensationalize some aspect of comics; so as a three-year veteran of the con, I thought I'd do a quick fact check on the article and whether its claims of sexy times in San Diego are true or false." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Penthouse says: "There are a lot of hotel parties in people's rooms. You just bring some booze; everyone is always really friendly," says Eva, a 27-year-old who works in publishing. "My friends and I want to do things on the cheap, so we often cram a bunch of people-six or more-into a room, and sometimes we take shifts sleeping." CA says: TRUE. Room parties are a big part of socializing at Comic-Con if you don't have access to the swank industry parties, and even if you do, the afterparties often break off to hotel rooms. But remember, room parties are only as cool and fun and sexy as the people inside them, so choose your destination -- and your guests -- wisely." - RAPatton

"Penthouse says: "Jennifer, a software company project manager, is rocking extremely revealing Wonder Woman gear complete with the kind of red rubber boots that are found only at the most fetishy sex shops. And yet she insists guys aren't checking out her barely there bustier. 'I really just do it for the kids,' she says." CA says: FALSE. Dear Jennifer, exactly how hot does it get when your PANTS ARE ON FIRE?" - RAPatton

I'm impressed by the wisdom and good sense of "Like most pickup lines -- and certainly all cheesy ones -- stuff like this is only going to get you girls who already think you're hot." - ௸ (k2g)
