We just had a 10 minute break in our trial, and the defense attorney and I got into a conversation about dating. He told me about a girlfriend he had long ago; the relationship was cut short when she was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. We discussed the mentality of these jealous stalkerish murderous exes.
“The moral of all this, of course, is that men suck,” I concluded matter-of-factly.
“What? Not all men! I have single male friends who are wonderful people,” said the attorney.
“Yeah? Then why are they still single?” I challenged.
“Well, by the same token, I can ask why you’re still single.” Typical attorney talk.
“Because men suck!” It’s a simple concept to me!
…in retrospect, I should’ve gone for the shock value answer. “Because the State of California won’t legalize same-sex marriages!” would’ve been a good choice.
Bravo on this post. I was joking w/my best friend the other day that men suck and I was thinking about going lesbian. I keep hearing horror stories from my girlfriends, who are much more together than moi, about guys that they date. It is the same story different girl.
Conclusion, it isn’t the girl that screws relationships up, it is definitely the guys.
Yay, you can see now! (I just went to your blog for the first time and read your most recent post.)
I’ll have to agree w/you. I can’t think of one girl friend off the top of my head right now (including me) who lost a boyfriend, EVER, because of something stupid SHE did. And this is why these male exes come back; they realize they screwed up something good.
