some retarded friends of mine, who shall remain nameless because they know who they are, have coined the "dave complex," a term referring a mental state afflicting Christian young men that i explained to them one night. Please take careful note that this complex does NOT AFFECT me, but i am merely the first to have discovered and/or articulated it.
The "dave complex" is:
when a young man who has been raised in a conservative, Christian context attends college at a liberal arts institution, he will be immediately stricken by the attractive, Christian ladies, and he will pursue a dating/courting/"talking to" relationship with one as soon as possible, and in any way available he will expedite the process of getting married, so that he can have sex as soon as possible, without it being a sin.
Now, this is by no means a fixed rule. I just find it quite dominant in certain groups. And, when i explained this phenomenon to the guys, i was telling them to AVOID this complex at all costs... not by just having free, casual sex... but by truly controlling the sexual nature and in that way allowing conversation and spiritual connection to be the guiding forces in your various relationships with women.
it's entirely possible that some have fallen to the 'dave complex'... just don't let it be someone you care about.

desire and action are two very different things with very different consequences, however
i personally am a fam of self-control and would not want to marry someone without it. so i appreciate the explanation of this "dave complex," although the name does make me laugh.
just my two cents. :)
that is, a fan**
I'm curious to know who these "nameless" friends of your really are, first they name it the "dave complex" next thing you know they'll be asking, "What would dave do?" :)
the name kills me, but I think you make a great point, gazelle.
must let the connection be the guide, not the drawers.
