My new housemate in Austin, beautiful girl that she is, was lamenting how all guys are into her for her body.
Then she floored me with this statement.
"On the date, they are trying to put their arm around [the small of my back]."
I KID YOU NOT.
I told her that this used to be called CHIVALRY in the old days.
Now, fer sure, most of the guys who chase her for a date ARE players looking for one thing. She, being a typical shallow girl, goes for the one who charms her the most, rather than for the one she gets to know over time for his integrity, the way he treats others, his reputation. you know, all that USELESS stuff.
I don't doubt guys have given up.
TCF sez They are taught to suppress the nice guy by putting on the armor of the asshole -- but how fulfilling is that, ultimately?
DO MEN HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE? The ones with good personalities are no longer trusted anyway-- women just think these guys are being players. The crappy personalitied ones are STILL CLEANING UP THE FIELD, fucking anything that moves because they have perfected their own game.
Of course, there is only one answer: if you have to be thrown in with the players, girls not being able to discern good men from bad apparently (or refusing to), then you might as well learn to play the game and GET YOURSELF SOME LOVIN', AFFECTION, SEX.
You know, strange as it may seem, men are human too. We need this stuff (love, affection, sex) but we do not have that FREE TICKET called a vagina that gets us all the lovin' we need when we need it merely by standing there and winking coyly.
RIGHTLY so, men are pissed as hell. We have to pretend we couldn't care less about women, like we are our own persons. Yet we, practically HAVE TO HAVE women if we want to ever have children. If you were in such a POWERLESS position as a woman, believe me, you would be pissed as fuck too.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
