Re: Define \"hooking up,\" and elaborate
[ QUOTE ]
to dudes that pull, it means poking. to dudes that never pull, it means makin out. [/ QUOTE ] Good answer. Also, I think there is an intermediate level of people who use "Fooled around" and "hooked up," but there is probably some overlap. NT

Re: Define \"hooking up,\" and elaborate
Your friend is weird...I'd go so far as to say that if you hooked up with a girl, you did *not* have sex...maybe you rubbed stubbles but that's the max.

Re: Define \"hooking up,\" and elaborate
I've always understood the following terms to mean the following things:
Making out - prolonged french kissing, maybe some petting but no clothes coming off. Fooling around - making out + some genital involvement, clothes start coming off. Still short of sex -- see Blue Balls Trip Report thread. Hooking up - Ambiguous; could be used as a synonym for fooling around, or could also mean intercourse in a One Night Stand situation. Context dependent.

Re: Define \"hooking up,\" and elaborate
[ QUOTE ]
Hooking Up: The most useless term when talking about sexual encounters due to the fact that NOONE CAN AGREE ON A [censored] DEFINITION. [/ QUOTE ] I think it's very useful for just that reason. it's meant to keep the encounter ambiguous. my theory is that guys don't want to violate girls' reputations and make them look like sluts--they want them to appear clean. because who likes to admit the girl they hooked up with was a [censored]? (the answer: only dudes who somehow feel they've been rejected later on.) girls never have a problem with divulging every detail of their hookups, but it's uncommon (though not rare) for me to hear the details of my friends' encounters. I'm not sure if every guy looks at it this way but I think in our society it's the underlying reason for the popularity of the phrase.

Re: Define \"hooking up,\" and elaborate
If you came, you hooked up with the girl.

[/ QUOTE ] I dont think it so much worrying about the girls reputation as guys trying to make theirs grow. telling your friends I made out with a girl means you made out with her, telling your friends you hooked up could mean you just made out, but it could also mean you had lots of sex.
