Who writes a fake thesis about all of the many Duke University athletes she slept with? This girl does.
- Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com
One of my best girlfriends from college forwarded me this story yesterday, with the subject line of her email as, "YOU MUST READ THIS."
I clicked the link in the email and continued to read about a former Duke University female student who managed to sleep with a large portion of the Duke lacrosse, baseball and tennis teams (13 dudes in all) - and then took the time to write about every single sexcapade in a fake thesis, or "F List." In a PowerPoint presentation. Girl obviously had a lot of time on her hands post-college.
Not only does the thesis contain photos of each athlete she bedded, but it goes into full detail about the "pros" and "cons" of their horizontal performances, and how they ranked in physical attractiveness, size, talent and the like. Basically, what you would share with your very close girlfriends after way too many cocktails, and then would regret in the morning. But at least you didn't write it down.
First, we'll have a little round of applause for the girl for the following reasons: some of these dudes are pretty hot, the majority of her anecdotes are hilarious, and she's managed to have sex like Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, in a highly superficial manner that's completely devoid of emotion - we thought that was just make believe.
But, she must not have been thinking (at all) when SHE EMAILED THIS to her friends. Three friends to be exact. Who then proceeded to send it to just one more person, and so the chain began. The document can now be found on Jezebel and Deadspin, and in email inboxes everywhere.
Of course, the girl is mortified. She's gone into virtual hiding, deleting her social networking accounts, and telling Jezebel, "I regret it with all my heart. I would never intentionally hurt the people that are mentioned on that." Too late, sister. Duke University, the athletes, and the athletes' families are royally pissed off.
There's no doubt that she made a huge, gigantic mistake by actually even going near a computer with this stuff, but we can't help but think what would've happened if it was a guy who wrote this about the college girls he slept with. Lawsuits? Oh, you betcha. That boy would be paying for it for the rest of his life.
Will that happen to this girl? Only time will tell, but we have a feeling she won't be getting nearly enough action as she clearly used to for a very, very long time.
Tell us: What do you think about this "F List"?
