Quoth The Raven:Women and Sex

Female Interviewer:"Or is that just your character? That's just your character."

Raven:"That's just a good week."

Female Interviewer:"Ok, nevermind (laughs)...

Raven:"A bad week would be zero. A good week would be five."

Isaacs:"So the median is..."

Raven:"Three...Actually, to be honest...back in the day, yes."

Female Interviewer:"Not in this day and age."

Raven:"Actually no, this day and age doesn't change anything. Umm, I don't think the AIDS epidemic or anything has changed a damn thing. I think sex is just as prevalent now, if not more so than it ever was. I think because women are more independent now, more forward-thinking. You know...this is all on the record. Men...men have always been like "Oh we can sleep around, women are sluts," which I think is bullshit, you know what I mean? You know, I've always been a feminist...if she wants to, it's her business. I'd be a hypocrite to say anything different. I think more and more women are becoming assertive and free-thinking, they know what they want to do and don't worry about whether society condemns them, and umm, that's part of the reason my character is so popular, because he goes against society's...uh..norms, the mores and the grains of society, the convention...ummm...I mean he's tattooed, pierced, he's a bit of a freak, but he's an intelligent and wellspoken and highly educated guy from a wealthy background who just happens to have a lifestyle that's not quite what would be considered normal, which I think normal is becoming the minority. Back in the day...back in the day, I was a big {horndog*}. But it got old, it didn't get old real quick, I can't say that, but it did eventually get old, and it wore down to the point that like now and to be honest, I have to be mentally attracted as well. I won't just like...I mean the last time, I was at a party and there's like a hot chick...like on New Years, I'm sure there's gonna be a debauched...If I sleep with three or four women I would be suprised, but that's not the norm by any streach of the imagination...ummm that's definitely the exception that proves the rule. Umm, the majority of the time unless I'm mentally turned on, I guess because when I grew up, when I was a kid it was tough to get sex. I mean I was never popular, although I was always did have women attracted to me. I got more sex than most of my buddies, still...umm...because I was like the outsider, I wanted something that felt better than everybody else and picking up women was one of the things I was the best at, or was one of the best, and so I always picked up women and eventually, you know, it finally ran it's course over the last couple of years and now, like, I don't want to sleep with a girl just to sleep with her. I've lost interest. I don't think sex...sex just to have sex isn't as much fun as it used to be."

Isaacs:"Uh-huh"

Raven:"It's much more fun obviously if you have a bond or an attraction or a love or whatever, you know? And so, to me it's...I really need to be mentally turned on...I need a girl that's fun. Here's the thing:you can't find a girl that's funny, intelligent, and good-looking. You can find two of the three anytime, but you cannot find three of the three. And three of the three, I need all three, because you know if she's just good-looking, great, and if she's just intelligent, great, but if she doesn't make me laugh, well then forget it. But if she's funny and intelligent but she's ugly, then I'm not sexually attracted."

Isaacs:"Uh-huh"

Raven:"The point is, if she's good-looking and she's not intelligent, then because of my high I.Q., it's in the very high genius range, it's 143, you know, it's tough to find a girl of, in my mental league. This isn't to downgrade anybody else, that's just a fact."

Isaacs:"You ever see yourself settling down?"

Raven:"Yeah, absolutely. But it's just finding the right woman. If I gotta be sixty like Warren Beatty or eighty whatever the hell he was...God, I hope I don't have to wait that long. If I do, then I do. You know, I've been real close. I've been in love a lot of times. I've been real close to the right girl, but it's never been the 100% right girl and I refuse to settle."

Isaacs:"Uh-huh"

Raven:"And I think most people in life settle. I think people are afraid to wait for the brass ring and to go for it. And they would rather for something that isn't 100% than take the chance of having notihng."

Isaacs:"Uh-huh"

Raven:"And I would rather have nothing with the potential of having it all, you know?"

Isaacs:"Right"

Raven:"You know...umm..."

Isaacs:"Are you afraid you're going to get bored eventually?"

Raven:"Absolutely. It's...It's just that, why--why settle? Why settle for anything inlife? Why--I was gonna say life is too short, but life is...life is actually quite long. Life is a long, long time. I mean, why would you want to spend the rest of your life living with someone who isn't the exactly 100% perfect person? You know?"

Isaacs:"Mm-hmm"

Raven:"It doens't make any sense. You know, I will suffer through the lonely nights or whatever by myself, you know, because I know eventually I'll find that person. I have faith. But let's look at it this way: let's say that it takes you to seventy to find the perfect girl and you die at seventy-five. But those five years with the most perfect girl. I mean, those are the last five years of your life, you know what I mean?"

Isaacs:"Mm-hmm"

Raven:"Those are the ones that are gonna mean the most to you because those are the ones you are living. The current moment you're in is the most important, but ultimately, at the end of the ride, that's when you're really gonna need to know, you know what I'm saying? And if she ain't the right girl now, she ain't gonna be the right girl then. And she's gonna be less and less as time goes by, and the longer that goes, the more you're gonna realize that she ain't it and you're stuck and it's too late to start over. But with me, it's never too late to start over but for most people it is, becuae people are afraid of change."
