Duke grad makes list rating sexual prowess of school athletes

Just curious what people think about this and if your opinion would be different if it were a man who wrote the list.

I'm sure there will be a double-standard backlash to this, but if she had not included the names and photos of her subjects, it would have made for a rather amusing read. But because she did, I wonder if she'll be facing charges. I think many women speak freely about their sexual activities (I know my friends do), but rarely with the sense of predatory conquest you hear from straight men (no offense to the nice guys out there).

It's much better with the pictures not blurred out.

My thoughts:

1) I am surprised so many straight college boys strike the "flasher" pose lifting their shirt to expose their abs and/or pecs.

2) I'd quite like to meet Subject #4. (SO SORRY- hard to follow the pages. Of course I meant Subject 3, who I will nick-name Tres.

Is it wrong I thought that was hilarious? Subject 3 sounds like a blast. He should be proud of himself.. He'll never have to use another pick up line again.

Not sure how I would feel if a guy did something like this. I would probably think he was a pig, but still funny.... Hmm...

Well this has thoroughly kept me entertained at work this afternoon. Thank you, MrMidwest!

Subject #6 probably has the most to be embarrassed about, mostly because he has the highest profile being a professional baseball player and his idea of foreplay (what the hell). I feel like she gave Subject #1 a raw deal based on the listed pros and those non-blurred photos of him. Who cares about personality?

The girls sounds a little to full of her self but I thank her for the unintentional hilarity of thinking this was a good idea and graphs of her 'subjects'.

I don't think she could be charged with anything, except being an idiot.

It's stupid, she's stupid and I was about to malign her grasp of the written word, but apparently Harper Collins is already trying to give her a book deal, so I guess the joke's on me.

So she got the idea for her senior honors thesis from Mallrats? That screams honors student to me!

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

It's not a real thesis.

Sounds to me like this girl is one of those "broken child" things.

I wish the story ended with her being defiant rather than apologizing and saying she had no idea it would go viral.
I want her to be fierce feminist sex warrior, proudly taking control of her body, her sexuality and her womanhood, giving back to all women the power men have taken away from them.

I want her to be Wonderwoman with an insatiable sex drive.

I hate that she turns out to be this sniveling wimp who ends up calling herself "the ashamed author of this slide show" and says, "This item was never meant to be seen outside of a very small circle of people. Obviously, it has gone viral."


This is 2010 and she posted this on the Internet. I thought everyone knew by now that when you push send to one person, you're pushing send to the world.

Also, the entries are, all in all, pretty dull. She says that some guys are very large or have beautiful bodies, but she's terrible at writing sex.

To paraphrase Sondheim, "Where is style? Where is skill? Where is foreplay?"

I'm not looking forward to seeing Facebook statuses from my drunken, drug-loving ugly friends from high school touting this woman as a hero and aspiring to be her (granted they don't have much else going on in their lives) and attempting to complete their own mental study (with much uglier partners), while inevitably reposting any text from last night that alludes to this study, two or so weeks from now when this trickles down to state schools.

But it was very entertaining.

I haven't read it, but I would probably be pissed if I were one of the guys. But then again, I'm not a guy. I do agree that if a guy had written this about his female sexual conquests people would REALLY be freaking out.

Oddly, she only felt like a "whore", once.

[wendilin622]

Posted: 10/7/10 at 8:33pm

I don't know if I'd call her a whore.... I don't think this would have been as big of a deal as it is if they weren't all athletes and in the same social circle. The thing that makes her sound most whore-ish is when she hooked up with one subject, while another was in the apartment or whatever.

I thought it was interesting to see it from a woman’s point of view. She’s very level headed for a girl of her age. Or else she’s just a whore and has been with so many guys that she has the wisdom and insight to be able to do this and have no emotional attachment.

Besides,after #1, she sort of slid right down hill...

Posted: 10/7/10 at 8:48pm

I'm sorry, but there's nothing feminist about some sorority sister getting drunk and hanging at a place called "Shooters" to pick up the hottest jock and then writing--oh, so badly--about it.

She makes Anka Radokovich sound like Erica Jong.

There is nothing TO be sued over. There is no slander, it is simply her opinion.

[wendilin622]

Posted: 10/7/10 at 8:59pm

But now we know which subjects have less than average equipment. That could potentially inhibit future relations for the subjects??

[dramamama611]

Are that many women really that shallow today? What is the difference whether you know about a small penis NOW or once you've experienced it? Men know whether women have big boobs or not.

It's not the size of the wand, but the magic in it.

[TheatreDiva90016]

Posted: 10/7/10 at 9:06pm

Oh, there were only two guys she said were small.

And her description of gasping, and taking a breath before finishing, made me laugh.

I am sure those athletes are now totally clear on the difference between a whore and a bitch....


A whore will sleep with anyone. A bitch will sleep with anyone but you.

I'm surprised that nothing redonkulous I've ever done on the internet has gone viral. Because I have done a LOT of stupid sh*t.

The only thing that bothers me is her description of the guy's equipment. In my experience, a woman's definition of "well equipped" and a gay man's definition are completely different. I can't really gage any real details without specific numbers.

She should have blurred their names and faces, but other than that I found her experiment(?) slightly fascinating.

Oh and by the way, Tucker Max's second book is out now.
