Steve’s absolutely right. You’ll notice I often use quotes around the term “relationship”. That’s because I don’t believe in them, or rather that I believe that all humans have a relationship to other humans they come into contact with. Just because a chick gives you some doesn’t mean your relationship to her outranks your relationship to anyone else. It DOES mean that y’all shared something important and hopefully special to both of youse.

Unfortunately, I have to explain my concepts to people in terms that they believe in and that I don’t. I also use quotes around the word “cheating”, because I don’t believe in that either. Fidelity is something that’s traded to someone in order to get something from them, usually fidelity in return. I’m not going to trade anybody ANYTHING in order for them to give me what they want to give me anyway.

How would a chick feel if her boyfriend told her he’d only go with her to her mother’s house for Sunday Dinner *IF* she did a strip-tease for him? See how dumb that sounds? Similarly, don’t ask me to alter my relationships to anyone else so YOU can feel better about yourself and claim you have some kind of control over me that you don’t have.

Still, I have to explain things the way reporters on the news do it. They don’t CARE that whomever got shot or that bank got robbed or whomever lost their house because of the mortgage. They still have to tell you about it, because that’s their job. There’s a difference between reporting something and FEELING SOMETHING about what you’re reporting.

So, while I don’t believe in labels, that’s the game I have to play within because everyone else was successfully brainwashed and won’t be able to absorb the information unless I describe it to them in terms they can fathom.

I live in Manhattan, NYC. This means that I never see the same person twice. That’s only a slight exaggeration. I just about never get on a bus with anyone I was ever on a bus with before. I just about never get in a subway car with anyone I ever noticed I was in a subway car with before. I never walk down the same streets and see the same people, unless they live or work there and are basically fixtures.

The term I’ve used for people is “expendable”, by which I mean that it really doesn’t matter how many friends you lose, you can always get more tomorrow and the next day and the next week and the next month and the next year. There are always people to meet here that you never met before.

What this leads to is a fast “game”. I don’t have time to date some chick for like three weeks and find out about her life. I have the time in which I’m sitting with her right now and that’s it. I may or may not request contact information, and if I do, it’s to stay in peripheral contact via Social Media and not to call her over and over and keep hanging out with her.

I know as soon as I detect a chick whether I want to have sex with her or not, I know within 5 minutes whether I want to bother to pursue that or not and I DEFINITELY KNOW by the end of an hour-long conversation whether the chick is cool enough for me to consider her an actual friend that I would have good conversations, do things and go places with.

If I don’t know anything about a chick after being around her for an entire hour, our communication isn’t working properly and it’s a wrap. I’m outtie! :D

As far as the politicians, it’s not that they go to so many functions.. It’s that their jobs depend on them looking like Family Men. As Steve mentioned, they’re expected to reflect what society’s supposed to aspire to.. Which happens to be married, and most likely with at least one kid, hahaha I suppose to be sure that the marriage itself isn’t a sham! :D “Look! Look! We actually popped one out! See? I told you we were actually having married sex together! :D”

If politicians were built to bend to pressure, they wouldn’t be elected to represent what their constituents want. Politicians are built to get what they want, so the people that elected them get what THEY want. However……. The politician can’t afford to dump his wife, because he’ll be voted out ASAP. His only choice is to get his on the side, with or without his wife’s knowledge, until he gets busted and has to do the perp walk.

Look at Strom Thurmond!!!… According to Wikipedia, THIS ************ conducted the longest filibuster ever by a U.S. Senator in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (which, if you’re not familiar.. I know you’re from Europe.. had to do with BLACK PEOPLE), at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop… *AND* *THEN*… AFTER HIS DEATH it was revealed that Thurmond and a black maid, Carrie Butler, had a daughter whom Thurmond never publicly acknowledged. Amazing, right? Talking ALL THAT YANG in public and then laying up with the black chick behind closed doors to the point that he actually HAD. A. BLACK. DAUGHTER! :D

Politicians are sneaky and underhanded. They have to be. It’s their job to WIN, WIN, WIN! If they can’t do it to others, others are going to do it to them and they’re going to get voted out. It’s completely ridiculous for people to expect that politicians aren’t going to enjoy the fruits of their labor, one of which happens to be attractive women.
