She must have felt bored, not finding a guy willing to admit he’s a scoundrel at heart.

Well, a scoundrel wouldn’t be able to admit that on principle.

So by this logic, if you’re willing to admit you’re a scoundrel, then you’re not really a scoundrel?

Yes, it’s their hypocrisy that makes them such scoundrels. If they’d just come right out and admit their lecherous tendencies, then you could choose whether you wanted to associate with them or not.

Same here. If you’re in the mood for some ridiculous fun, hang out with the scoundrel. But if you’re not into such risque behavior, date a nun.

The challenge here is, that if you’re a scoundrel, and are looking for someone who wants to hook up with a scoundrel, you have to admit you’re a scoundrel. And then that person has to admit they’re looking for a scoundrel. I think that would require a lot of courage. Which is a noble thing for a scoundrel.

Okay, now this idea is expanding. So, if you pretend to be a scoundrel, when you’re not, then you really are a scoundrel. And if you pretend you’re not a scoundrel, when you are, then you are also a scoundrel.
