@Darien: That’s one of the fundamental problems with so-called “relationships”. They’re really a simple format of bartering without any collateral at all. It’s all based on what people say and what people say is WORTHLESS if you can’t trust them.

Unfortunately, people date each other BEFORE they get to know them well enough to trust them. People make agreements with each other so that they can get what they wanted out of being in a relationship, but it doesn’t really mean anything.

For some reason, people are better at figuring out who they’re attracted to than they are at figuring out who they can trust.

So many people are with the wrong people just to be with someone. And the whole ownership thing. Women do it and men do it. And I don’t get it. These same people, they start dating and just ditch their friends. I so don’t get that.
…*sigh* but then I’m the kind of person who finds pretty much the entire human race to be completely incomprehensible.

@Frank: Unfortunately, Life imitates Art.

People see this stuff on television and in the movies and try to live into that fantasy. They think everyone else is doing it, so if they can’t fit their square ass into that round hole, they start freaking out.

Everybody’s not supposed to do everything they see in the movies. Just like all dudes aren’t Ethan Hunt… all chicks aren’t Bridget Jones.

@Derek: This is actually a good point for has-beens. They DEFINITELY have a fan base that actually liked them for who they were as people… not just how they looked or what they were rumored to do when you got them alone. :)

They should seek these guys out and rebuild their social circle amongst people that actually CARE about them.

interesting….
but too complicated for me. Im still trying tomake sense of girls/woman who force themselves into relations just to justify their need to be human and have sex. Im still trying to remind them that not only am i not their new best friend but I shouldn’t also be their only friend! never mind buying pets with them, im still trying to convince them not to change their usual get home route, we don’t need to suddenly be meeting all the time! lol
interesting reading though.
