Have you ever hooked up with someone while drunk, thinking they were attractive, then realizing they weren't once you sobered up?

Asked by le_inferno (6194points) January 21st, 2010

In movies/TV shows, it always depicts the young guy waking up in a bed after a night of drinking, horrified at the beast laying next to him who was gorgeous the night before. Does this actually happen? I know my perception of someone’s looks is unaffected no matter how much I drink. I’ve heard others say the same, but maybe it does happen to some.

Just one time, thankfully. But the contrast wasn’t bad at all, she just wasn’t my type physically and personality wise.

Nope, I always meet people sober. . . unless of course when I’m drunk already . . . hick!

I don’t see people differently when I drink, I could see myself doing it if I blacked out, as whoever emerges when I black out for some reasons seeks to sabotage every facet of my life that he can.

No even when drunk, in my twenty somethings, I had good taste.

I don’t drink. One of the reasons being so this doesn’t occur.

@pearls lol!

This has never happened to me. Even when totally smashed, I still know if the dude is hot or not. Good looking friends, while not hot, may have a marginally better chance…..because we can always wake up the next morning and blame the booze.

I don’t see people differently. But somehow, I think I stop caring.

@lilikoi I may have been stretching on that one, but I must have been drunk to stay with him as long as I did.

@noelasun Yeah that’s exactly what I was going to say but was a bit ashamed. Oh alcohol how I love how you make a fool out of me.

No, but almost all of my sexual partners have had that experience.

That, My friend, is called Coyote Ugly… Its when you wake up in the morning and find something terrible horrible laying in bed with you. You would rather chew your own arm off than pull your arm from around them and wake them up lol

No, that’s how I get women to hook up with me.

Kenny Chesney knows a thing or two about that.

Yes, at least once that I know of. I went home with this guy, and once we started to have sex, I guess I started to sober up. I was so disgusted.
