It’s been said that men often think about their missed sexual adventures with women, while women tend to regret their sexual encounters with men.
When I first heard that quote, I thought about it and realized it’s true. Almost every girl I know has regretted sleeping with at least one guy. The only exceptions were the girls who’ve only had one sexual partner and are still with that person, a boyfriend or husband.
As a guy, I sometimes think about the girls I didn’t sleep with just because it comes up in conversation when I’m out with friends.
There’s one girl I absolutely regret not hooking up with. I met her freshmen year in college and we became really close. She was absolutely gorgeous and really smart. At the time, I was coming off a long relationship, so I wasn’t planning on getting back into one any time soon. She was in the same situation but I couldn’t read the signs she was threw my way.
Looking back, the signs weren’t all that obvious, but I should have picked up on it anyway. Either way, we kind of lost touch over the years but I do think about the missed chance there.
Is it true, do men often think about their missed chances, while women think about their regrets? Do you ever think about your missed chances? If so, how long ago was it?

I regret most of the guys I slept with.
lol missed chance.
there's no sex like missed sex.
if a guy sleeps with a lot of girls..he's a player.
if a girl sleeps with a lot of guys..she'd be a slut. & a lot of times, we don't want to be or feel like a slut so we would regret it.
you men have nothing to lose anyways.
I don't regret as much as I rejustify why I did not.
Oh totally. I know if I had slept with them I'd regret it now though!! haha
Missed sex is the only sex I ever have.
REGRET.
so much fucking regret.
@asdfghjkieu@xanga - You're right and it's a sick way for things to be. I have never regretted any and I don't worry about missed ones though. It's too bad that women get a bad name for doing what guys do. I personally don't think a woman's is bad news if she is sexually active. It's guys big mouths that ruin it for some of them and it's bullshit.I know a few really fun women and I totally respect them. It should work both ways.
yep with a jar of Vaseline...what??? k.. i got chapped hands so?
@asdfghjkieu@xanga - being a ''player'' isn't a positive thing. i guess some immature guys think its cool, but thats cuz they're immature. i don't judge men or women on how many partners they've had, it really depends more on if they brag about it.
I regret one I had. And I'm a guy.
I definitely have one and damn was she beautiful. GOD. This entry just had to remind me! What was I thinking NOT hooking up with her!
Damn you mancouch!
My situation was similar to the posters. Just came out of a long relationship, wasn't really catching her signals, was still pretty shy back then.
i think about the words affect and effect. to either think about sex in terms of what would've been or what was - conundrum.
of course, we're all built with something called a memory. and if it so happens that we lose it, well then, there'd be no point. but to dwell on or resurface, would be a little unfair to those involved.
for this one, of course. physical attraction and sexual desire is non-partisan. i don't care whether one is male / female. if one regrets something, then i suppose one should not have done something. vice versa, if one thinks one should have done something (or someone), well... that is even worse don't you think?
words from papa while leaving for college (more about life lesson): 'try it. but if you're going to try it, then with all you got.'
I think about both.
Yep got my regrets, not too many missed chances, turned down a lot ,but don't regret doing so.
what about the ones you want to sleep with but can't get to? LOL I guess that will count as a regret =)
I think both, depends on the person.
So true, so true. One I can think of just had a baby. How freaky!
I was at this guy's house and there was chemistry and he leaned in to kiss me. I didn't think it would have led into sex because he had a gf, but I wish I would have moved it in that direction. J/K. He had a gf. An ugly one with no eyebrows.
i never regret it because i only have sex with guys i'm really serious about. not a random hook up kinda gal.
WHAT!
it's bullshit...that saying could go for either the woman or the man. I'm sure us men and women have more sexual encounters we think/dream about that we miss than that one or two that we wished we never even set eyes on. I think more about them when I'm single regardless of what female/s I'm just "dating" (with no intensions of relationship status).Now when I'm in a relationship it might cross my mind. But it depends who you're with. My ex, our sex was bomb. She loved how I fucked or made love and I loved how she fucked and or made love to me as well...so my ex's before her had no chance in sneeking in my mind. If it did it was more like "oh yeah I remember and it aint shit to what I got now". So my partner knew she had me mentally in that area....those that don't think like me may have or will find them selves in deep shit if they don't correct that....but if you're single, maaaaaaaaan shit, reflect away...
...I can't front, some I remember so good, I have to beat my shit off of LMAO...AND THATS REAL TALK...if you men out here left an impression on your ex, believe me, she might have thought about you one night and had to get her rocks off as well...I'm gone on that note LMAO.
The last time (and only time) I was close to getting some was right after I finished high school in 2002. I was at a field party outside and I met this girl who went to my high school. Somebody brought a couch outside and she was there sitting down (she was almost drunk by the way). So I decided to sit down and she sat on my lap-and about a minute after I sat down she kissed me. Then she went away to get some more beer, came back and asked me to spend the night with her in a barn, which I then said yes to being that I was 18. She ended up making out with me and feeling up on me under my boxers but her friends took her away because she got so drunk and later passed out.
no regretz
I've thought about my missed chances.
I don't regret my past sexual encounters. Well, maybe one. But not so much regret like, "OMG. I shouldn't have done that," but more like, "It sucked."
Regret, don't sleep with co-worker s)..i learned that in one way over the top drunken night.
Do guys really think about what they missed?
It just sounds weird to me.
