Do you like socializing with "straightedge" people?

[Prof_Don]

Yes I do

No, straightedge people aren't my style

[MrOracle]

I don't drink, smoke, or use drugs - but I also am not especially attracted to people who are overly evangelistic about their lifestyle choices, no matter what they are. I find some "straightedge" people to be that way, and it's off-putting. Others are more like me - they made their decision for themselves and leave it at that, and those folks are just fine.

A lot of people seem to only be able to handle one extreme or the other. Either their a total pacifist, or they think violence is the answer to everything. Either they work out daily and put their gym activities above everything else, or they eat nothing but McDonalds and watch TV. Whatever it is, they only see two choices: black or white, and they think everyone else should fit in one of those two boxes. Straight-edge people are often that way, which is why they're attracted to that culture.

As I said, I don't drink, but I don't get bent out of shape if people around me drink, and I might sample a cocktail I've never tasted without any guilt or worry. I can handle middle ground just fine. Not everyone can.

[NearlyNapping]

When I was 20 I stayed away from straights. Now I prefer them. If I tried to keep up the lifestyle I led in my late teens and early twenties I'd be dead now. There is no way I could have survived that for much longer.

I have respect for people who show restraint and don't get carried away with drinking, drugs and sex. Young people who stay away from drugs, drinking and promiscuous sex, and who admit it and stand up for it get a respect point. Good for them!

Don't do like I did. Learn from others' mistakes. Live clean, live healthy, live long and live happy. Being clean is a better drug than any drug.

[Mustachekitteh]

Yes, I have nothing against them as long as they don't tell me how to live my life, that's with anyone.

Apparently one of the chick singers that I like from this band is a straightedge. She has the same first name as me but her's is spelled different due to the i in her name.

I'm not 100% sure what beig straight-edge really means. I've seen varying definitions as to what it means. But I think I could hang out with someone who is straight edge. I feel like I'm kind of straight edge myself. I'm not a big drinker and I don't do casual sex. So I think I would get along with someone like that.

[lizziepooh03]

Please define straightedged? I drink too much and smoke too much but most everyone I know does not. If I am guessing correctly about how you define the word then yes, most of the people I know are straightedged. Lol!☺

[Electric_Dreams]

I think they principle in itself is really cool. So a straight edge person is really cool to me by default at first; when I get to know them better they are still usually really cool. They're generally a pretty cool kinda' people. I respect people like that a lot.

I don't have substance abuse issues so I don't feel insecure around them or anything like that. I have a no getting drunk policy, just a few drinks, am anti-drug besides pot which I haven't smoked in years anyway, and I only smoke cigarettes once in a blue moon. Like at the moment I only buy 2 or 3 packs a year. I have no desire to be straight edge, I dig my comfortable amount of restraint and control, but yeah I have a lot of respect for straight edge.

[SweetHomicidalQueen]

Yea I do, but I don't care if you're straight edge or not. Don't force me to do anything and I can handle you :)

[Amanda2]

I don't think anyone is a boojie as they act, I will be socializing with straightedge people but it depends on the event. I ain't down for anything for illegal or risky

[pooper89]

Yeah sure as long as they don't judge me for having experimented with drugs in the past. I typically don't even drink though. I've never liked the taste of alcohol and i don't like being drunk or buzzed

[LittleSally]

Sure. As far as I'm familiar with that... I am that person. I mean I like a cocktail from time to time, but mostly I don't drink at all. Smoking and drugs - never want to go near it.

[thewanderingme]

yes. I wish more people could have fun without needing to be intoxicated

[anonman32]

i agree to that. my old friends could never do that.

[Fearless_banana]

People who have goals and ambitions in life.. that choose not to smoke weed and laugh at cartoons all day? Who the fuck would want to hang out with someone like that?

[Anonymous]

Sure, as long as they don't lecture me about how barbaric or pedestrian or immoral having a few drinks is. I like all sorts of folks, but self righteous assholes isn't on the list of preferred company.

[somebodysaycheese]

yea, I mean its cool to actually be able to talk someone who isn't lit and thinks life is a hippie's dream.

[kittykatbrat]

... yes, I am one, with regard to cigarettes, drugs and alcohol, as are most of the men I date.

[Pinkbeauty]

I never meet anyone who's straightedge but if I saw people like that then maybe I would socialize with them

[douride2]

Never heard the term before I had to look that one up. I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they don't push their beliefs on me.

[The_flying_Frenchman]

I consider myself pretty straightedge, so they're my favorite people obviously

[Anonymous]

It isn't my style but I have straightedge friends, I still hang with them from time to time

[anonman32]

[Polocrew]
