I've always felt like a pimp walking around with a hickey and a devilish but boyish grin on my face. But without telling you how girls have reacted to this, I'd like to get the community's opinion.

My thinking in favor of the hickey is, much like Mystery's lipstick kiss, it shows preselection. Arguing against it, however, is that it might trigger ASD, especially if seen in "polite" contexts. Then again, girls get a kick out of having naughty thoughts in polite society, but they might deny it or be too shy to express it due to social pressure.

So, if I get a hickey from a girl, should I try to hide it the next day, should I not give a shit and let it shine, or does it depend on where I'm going and what I'm doing there (besides picking up girls)?
