games

if i had to base my future interactions with men on what i've read on askmen.com, i'd be screwed. everything i've read on that site so far is exactly the opposite of what i've been lead to believe. by whom, i can't remember.

i was reading a couple of the "Top 10" lists on the site, both having to do with how guys should meet women or get a woman to notice him. the lists encouraged men to try to stand out from the crowd, but they also encouraged them to not show they were too interested. "it's even more important to give the impression you're too busy to even care if she (texts) you back. Plus, when you lie back and stay cool, she’ll assume you're busy with other women."

they want to drive us crazy! they're not just being thoughtless guys; they're playing the game! now, granted, some guys really are just thoughtless guys, but this site, these lists, these advice columns written by guys for guys, are all throwing everything i thought true about men and relationships in the toilet.

this requires a complete overhaul of my game plan, for Crush and in general. it turns out that men actually may be thinking about the whole process of dating more than i thought.

oh the humanity!
