It's not that she couldn't be loved, obviously; but at some point, you have to say, What is the point of this person? To be a selfish thrill-seeker at the expense of everyone else's dignity and feelings? If it's all about amoral pleasure-seeking for oneself, yes, I think at some point, you need to be "penalized" for your choices, if the messiness of said liaisons doesn't do you in first.

I'm sure for them it's "wild", "adventurous", "fun", or "Carrie Bradshaw-esque" but at some point, someone is going to call a person on this behavior. It's not right, because it's self-serving and puts that person's needs above all others; hence, there would be great grounds not to trust this person, or to be suspicious that they could even understand what it's like to actually open up, care for another person, and be considerate. In plain English, to me, it's more about the courtesy and consideration shown for others than it is the sex.

I'm open to much more discussion about this. Basically, my stance is one that flies in the face of conventional wisdom for the 20s and 30s sets nowadays, which seems basically to be, "I don't care about anyone but myself, I can do what I want without fear of judgment or repercussions, and I won't have to pay for it any way." I loathe that bratty mentality and don't hesitate to call it when I see it.
