Terrific analysis, Lotfw ...
I agree with you about the favorite types -- and add a few extra of my own ...
The "I'm a long way from home and don't know anybody here" type
The "I'm not super-hot and don't get a lot of attention, so I'm going to make the most of it" type
The "It's OK, I'll just say I was drunk" type
The "I'm doing this because my boyfriend dared me" type
The "I'm doing this because my boyfriend forbid me" type
There might be more ... but they're all captured by the same vibe: "I can't quite believe I'm actually doing this!"
LOL
Thanks for a fantastic thread.
