Sex (And Sex) (And More Sex) & the City
So now that I'm officially allowing myself to have the 100% "I'm single" mindset again, I've decided to re-watch Season 1 of Sex and the City because it's hilarious. And because that really is what it's like. It's the men's guide to a woman's life. Desperate Housewives can kiss my ass. I'm not desperate, I'm not a housewife, and I don't think Teri Hatcher is hot (Eva Longoria...different story). So it does nothing for me.
I'm not into male bashing, because even though they continually piss me off, I simply can't get enough of 'em. I do have an issue, though, and SATC's Carrie couldn't have said it better: Do all men secretly [or not so secretly] want their women promiscuous and emotionally detached?
Seriously, we're dealing with guys in their late 20's, early 30's and they're still behaving like hornball teenagers, frat boys, post-frat boys, jocks, cocks, etc. Don't get me wrong, we all have needs, and sometimes those needs must be fulfilled. And I'm all about freedom, but damn, how many girls do you really need at once?!? (Don't answer that)
It's an epidemic with every singleton that I know. Guy pursues girl. Girl ignores guy. Guy continues to pursue girl. Girl continues to ignore guy. Guy does his best to woo girl, yet remains evasive. Girl notices, gives him time of day. Guy digs girl. Girl smiles. Guy really digs girl. Girl genuinely likes guy. Guy runs. Girl is sad.
So...do they?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must tend to Guy #1 on the phone, Guy #2 on IM, Guy#3 on email, Guy #4 knocking on door...

1. You're watching too much Bridget Jones.
2. Eva Longoria looks like an exhibit in Madame Trussard's. Teri Hatcher is hot. She's Lois Lane!
3. SATC rocks, and you are Carrie. I am Miranda. And,
4. I never, ever, ever have to deal with this again! Thanks bebe! (That's a little shout out to my feeantse)

Teri Hatcher's boobs are unimpressive. Just my 2 cents.

Hmm...ok time to bring the male perspective on things. First things first, you have to throw those SATC dvd's away. Here are a few reasons why. First of all, girls are in total control when it comes to the evolution in a relationship. What ends up happening is that the onset of the new relationship in a guys life will affect the guy differently depending on the type that he is. There are a two "types" of guys: A - The guy that becomes totally "into" his girlfriend and forgets about his guy friends B - The guy who balances his life, friends etc while still being involved in his relationship. So what happens?
Well, type A becomes the guy thats always there for you but yet you don't want him. On the other hand, type B becomes a challenge for you since he won't give up on his Sunday football days with the guys in favor of shopping for furniture with you. So you try to mold him inte the "perfect" boyfriend by attempting to implement minor changes that reflect your liking or simply working towards the commitment issue. What happens then is the guy becomes turned off and decides that living the single life is a lot less complicated. So does this mean that you need to give your man some slack? No, what it means is that you need to give us some space and hopefully things will fall in place. Ultimately, a guy in his mid-twenties will be less-commitment prone vs a guy in his mid thirties. However, you have to use sound judgement to determine wether the guy is worth your time!
As an example, a girlfriend of mine who is in her mid 30's and waiting for her exsisting 5 year relationship with a friend of mine to turn serious. It even got to the point that she actually proposed! C'mon people! Face the facts, some people just aren't meant to hop that broom.
Stay tuned, there's plenty more to come!

Peach - I like you. Over the past three years, I haven't had the best luck in dating. Although for about two and a half years it was my fault, as I was the non-committal one. I guess for me, it could be karma. But have faith...positive outlooks bring positive outcomes. Negativity only speaks things out of being.
PetR - It's about time. I've heard you have been lurking in the shadows of my blog. Oh wise one, tell us more of your philosophies.

some of us only need one girl at once.
some of us don't run.
some of us are worth chasing after.
not all of us want our women promiscuous & emotionally detached. i know i don't.
if the fishing sucks, change the place you fish.
