<p>I always found the excuse &#8220;I have a headache&#8221;, which I&#8217;ve only heard of on television and in the movies, to be an hilarious attempt at declining to have sex with someone.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. :) <span id="more-10508"></span> It&#8217;s like, when was the last time that a dude asked a chick if she had a headache before he tried to screw her?.. Never.  That&#8217;s because nobody&#8217;s thinking about how your head is feeling when it&#8217;s time to &#8220;do the nasty&#8221;.</p>
<p>Now, if you&#8217;re laying over sideways, rolling around on the bed, clutching your dome, grimacing and moaning as if you&#8217;re in pain, then I MIIIIIIGHT ask you whether you have a headache.</p>
<p>Other than that, you can forget it.</p>
<p>I have never once ever in life, EVAR wondered whether a chick had a headache, a math test, credit card debt, relatives in Finland, or a clear view of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dealey_Plaza#Grassy_knoll" rel="nofollow">the grassy knoll</a> when I felt like hooking up with her.</p>
<p>Y&#8217;all would be better off trying something like &#8220;I was sitting down at work all day and my ass already hurts&#8221;.. You know.. Something that&#8217;s actually relevant to what the guy&#8217;s trying to do.</p>
<p>If you really feel like being a jerk about it, just tell him &#8220;No thanks.  I just got some before you came home.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2010/02/25/im-only-a-man-rwdc-part-01/"></g:plusone></div><p>One of my most popular posts is 2008&#8242;s <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/03/12/how-to-break-up-with-your-girl/">&#8220;How To Break Up With Your Girl&#8221;</a>.  It seems like every single day, somebody wants to know how to break up with a girl&#8230;.</p>
<p>***** SPOILER ALERT for Real World: DC ***** If you don&#8217;t want to know what happened last night, stop reading now! :D</p>
<p>*<br />

<p>Being a professional at getting rid of chicks while maximizing their potential to feel good about it, I was sitting there like :O watching Josh dump his girlfriend on RW:DC last night.  It was horrific.  It was brutal.</p>
<p>I know how brutal it was because I did just about the exact same thing back in the day. <span id="more-7767"></span></p>
<h3>Cheating &#038; Valor</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billcammack/2422392063/" title="BC &amp; LC 02 by Bill Cammack, on Flickr" rel="me"><img style="float:left" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2134/2422392063_d2c1d24159.jpg" width="300" alt="BC &amp; LC 02" /></a>Personally, I&#8217;m not a &#8220;cheater&#8221;.  I put that in quotes because I don&#8217;t believe in cheating.  I believe in Free Will.  I&#8217;m going to do whatever I feel like doing whenever I feel like doing it regardless of what I say to some chick.</p>
<p>Being that I understand this about myself, the issue is circumvented by <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/04/08/fear-of-commitment/">never committing to one chick</a>.  If you don&#8217;t tell one person that you&#8217;re in a committed relationship with them, you don&#8217;t have to extricate yourself from the relationship on the fly when something else comes up that you want to do.</p>
<p>Whomever you&#8217;re dating deserves that much, at least.  They deserve more than on some regular day, they get a phone call from their boyfriend telling them that it&#8217;s over and that&#8217;s that.  I&#8217;ve done it.  I didn&#8217;t like &#8220;having&#8221; to do it.  I wasn&#8217;t happy about it.  I&#8217;m not proud about it.  I wish I could have thought up a better way to deal with the situation, but I was like 19 and that&#8217;s all I had in my arsenal at the time.</p>
<p>The reason I brought up not being a cheater is because it&#8217;s an issue of valor and strength.  If you make a verbal commitment to someone that you and she are in an exclusive relationship, you need to keep your word&#8230; not to HER, but to YOURSELF.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s like telling someone you&#8217;re going to work for them and then not showing up.  That&#8217;s like having someone work for you and then not paying them.  That&#8217;s like having kids with a chick and not supporting them.  It&#8217;s an issue of valor.  How are you supposed to look at yourself in the mirror, knowing that you&#8217;re a weak Human Being and a pathetic excuse for a male of the species?</p>
<p>So, besides the fact that I don&#8217;t believe in the concept at all, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not a cheater.  When I say something, it means something.. To *ME* and to other people.  I wouldn&#8217;t be happy with myself, telling some chick &#8220;You&#8217;re my girlfriend, and I love you&#8221; on the phone and then picking up chicks at the bar left and right.</p>
<p>This is how I ended up in the Josh-esque situation of having to dump a chick out of the blue over the phone.  I wasn&#8217;t in the process of hooking up, because that&#8217;s not something I would have done BEFORE breaking up with the chick, but I could feel it coming&#8230; I knew damned well that if I had been in the moment, the moment would have occurred.  I wouldn&#8217;t have stopped the action to have some sort of philosophical conversation with the girlfriend that I had already decided wasn&#8217;t my girlfriend anymore, so I did what I considered to be the right thing and dumped her BEFORE something happened.  It was still ****** up, but it was the best solution I could come up with at the time.</p>
<h3>Double Standards</h3>
<p>So Josh&#8217;s chick heads for the bathroom and Josh heads for the phone.  I&#8217;m hoping and praying that he&#8217;s going to do the right thing and fall on his sword, taking the entire heat for the situation, but I don&#8217;t figure that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to happen.</p>
<p>From the way they&#8217;ve edited the show, it doesn&#8217;t appear that Josh has the capability to have an actual &#8220;girlfriend&#8221;.  He said something a few episodes back about how he was homeless and she let him live with her or something.  I&#8217;m sure he said a bunch of other good stuff about her that they edited out in order to develop his character in a particular direction, but it&#8217;s clear that dude thrives off of attention.  It&#8217;s clear that he&#8217;s not the &#8220;No. I have a girlfriend&#8221; type of dude.</p>
<p>The funny part about all this is that a few episodes back, when he heard that HIS GIRLFRIEND might have been creeping around the way, this guy starts BITCHING AND MOANING about it to her, like as if they&#8217;re in some kind of important relationship.  This is a fantastic and obvious case study of a double standard.  &#8220;Cheat on me and I&#8217;ll flip my wig!!! :O .. Meanwhile, I&#8217;ll cheat on you and if you find out about it, I&#8217;ll break up with you because I already have another ***** anyway.  Peace! :D&#8221;</p>
<h3>I Kissed A Girl</h3>
<p>So Josh starts off decently with sounding somber and like he might have been crying recently.  That was good because you don&#8217;t want to break up with a chick like blah blah Peace!  You want to seem as if you give a damn.. Assuming you&#8217;re interested in her mental health, well being and physical safety.  You want it to seem like this decision is tough on you, when, in reality, the chick you&#8217;re about to bang is in the bathroom and you took this opportunity to absolve yourself from the guilt of having to tell your girlfriend that you hooked up AFTER THE FACT.</p>
<p>The first &#8220;OOF!&#8221; moment came when he finally started breaking down what was going on.  He goes &#8220;I kissed somebody&#8221;. :/  I was like &#8220;Come. On. Player.. YOU *KNOW* that&#8217;s not what it is! :D  Jeez.  That was the MAJOR cop-out, because a) he had made out with chicks on camera BEFORE that night, and b) he was completely understating his level of involvement with tonight&#8217;s chick.</p>
<p>I understood why he did it.  The intention was proper.  He knew that HER reaction to hearing that he kissed a chick was going to be breaking up with him, which absolved him from guilt for hooking up with the chick he had waiting for him to finish yakking on the phone so they could do this, like Brutus and we always knew this.</p>
<p>The execution was *****.  Straight up.  You know what you&#8217;re about to do.  Let your girl down properly if you&#8217;re going to do it at all.  If you just HAVE TO BE THAT WEASEL whose word doesn&#8217;t mean jack-**** then let her know the real deal.  Don&#8217;t make her feel like there&#8217;s a chance at reviving the exclusivity of the relationship by acting like you kissed a chick and came home solo and were about to go to sleep. :/</p>
<p>Having said all that, I&#8217;m aware that these are edited shows, and <a href="http://billcammack.com/billcammack/">as an editor</a>, I could have made Josh look as valiant or as creepy as the producers wanted him to look, so it&#8217;s entirely possible that they deleted the parts where he explained that he was about to screw the chick he kissed tonight as soon as he got off the phone with his girlfriend&#8230; I just completely DOUBT that that&#8217;s what happened.</p>
<h3>Woman-Speak</h3>
<p>Josh then proceeds to talk too much and say that he kissed a girl that he&#8217;s been &#8220;seeing a couple of times&#8221;. :/  BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ.. Wrong Answer!</p>
<p>This is where the whole situation dove downhill.  Most guys don&#8217;t understand woman-speak.  Women will tell you the amount that they&#8217;re COMFORTABLE telling you.  Unless you&#8217;re tight with them (which means, by default, that you&#8217;re not dating them), they&#8217;re not going to tell you what ACTUALLY happened.  They already know this about themselves.  This is why when you tell women about something YOU did, they automatically escalate what you said a couple of levels.</p>
<p>If a chick you&#8217;re not tight with tells you that she went out with a dude, she may very well have ****** his ****.  If she tells you she did that, she probably screwed him.  If she tells you nothing at all happened, she probably made out with him.  This is the logic they apply to what YOU tell THEM.</p>
<p>So, for Josh to say he kissed someone, she&#8217;s going to assume he did way more than kissing.  For Josh to nail his own coffin shut by saying &#8220;This promoter that I&#8217;ve been&#8230; seeing a couple of times&#8221;, he&#8217;s admitting that a) he can&#8217;t be trusted around women that are supposedly platonic business friends of his, and b) that he&#8217;s been actively pursuing this chick that he supposedly &#8216;just&#8217; kissed while he was in a committed relationship to his girlfriend.</p>
<p>Play &#8220;Taps&#8221;.  The Fat Lady is singing.</p>
<h3>I&#8217;m Only A Man</h3>
<p>So then he tries to weasel his way out of the situation by saying &#8220;I&#8217;ve tried my hardest.. I can&#8217;t stand to hurt you anymore&#8221;.  This is where I started to get disgusted.  He wasn&#8217;t &#8220;hurting&#8221; his girlfriend because he had been HIDING his behavior this whole time.  This phone call wasn&#8217;t to relieve her of some kind of current pain she was in.  Josh knew he was about to get pizaid and he didn&#8217;t feel like a) admitting it after the fact and making himself look like more of a crumb, or b) having the chicks in the house spill the beans to his girl, which would have been even worse.</p>
<p>Of course, his girl starts going berserk, as if that matters.  &#8220;How Could You Do This? blah blah blah&#8221;.  Nobody cares.  This is the guilt-absolution conversation, not the &#8220;let&#8217;s talk about this&#8221; conversation.  This is the &#8220;I have a ***** waiting for me in the bathroom&#8221; conversation.</p>
<p>So just when I thought the situation had hit rock bottom as far as Josh not taking responsibility for his own desires <font size="1">COUGHtigerCOUGH</font>, she aks him why he did it and he goes &#8220;I can&#8217;t help myself&#8230; I&#8217;m only a man, and I can&#8217;t help myself.  I don&#8217;t know what else to tell you&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>No.  Sorry, Dude. :/ If you want to bring the word &#8220;man&#8221; into this, you need to say &#8220;I&#8217;m a man, and I do THE **** what I want to do, including ******* this chick that&#8217;s waiting for me to finish dumping you right now&#8221;.</p>
<p>This is the end result of women running all over creation screaming <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/07/28/men-are-dogs/">&#8220;MEN ARE DOGS!!!&#8221;</a>.  Guys have now adopted this as their &#8216;out&#8217; in all situations.  &#8220;What did you expect me to do?  I&#8217;m only a man. :(&#8220;.  What&#8217;s your point, dude?  There are only two options.. Male and Female.  You&#8217;re saying that all guys cheat?  Maybe you&#8217;re saying that you&#8217;re a <a href="http://billcammack.com/2010/02/12/sex-addiction-therapy-rehab/">sex addict</a>? O_o</p>
<p>UGH!  I was so disgusted.  Just admit that you&#8217;re with a chick that you feel like banging right now, regardless of the fact that you have a girlfriend and you just plain don&#8217;t care enough about what your girl says, thinks or feels about what you do with YOUR life and YOUR body.</p>
<p>This is where the term &#8220;Man Up&#8221; originates from.  It means BE. A. STRONG. PERSON!..  It doesn&#8217;t mean to hide behind stereotypes to explain away your DELIBERATE actions as some kind of mental or especially gender-based weakness.</p>
<h3>Disheartening?&#8230; Enlightening?</h3>
<p>So anyway, Josh ripped his girlfriend&#8217;s heart out, then went to get laid.</p>
<p>I think this is a really important episode for women to watch, even though, as I&#8217;ve said, it&#8217;s clearly edited and probably doesn&#8217;t show the entirety of the conversations and Josh&#8217;s behaviors so we don&#8217;t really have a full picture of what actually happened.</p>
<p>I think this is a CLEAR case of a guy that&#8217;s down to have as many chicks as he can have, and he&#8217;s willing to be a weasel to get them.  Whatever they need to hear, that&#8217;s what he&#8217;s going to tell them to get them to lay down.  That&#8217;s not unique.   He&#8217;s not an anomaly.  He&#8217;s not an exception to a rule.</p>
<p>What I would like women to go watch is how a guy can get on the phone with you, yak about whatever, tell you he loves you and then get back into bed with the next chick and pick up where he left off.  I would like y&#8217;all to watch how a guy could have his girlfriend travel to see him, spend time with him, hook up with him and as soon as she breaks out, he&#8217;s hooking up with the next chick.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not making this stuff up myself. :)  Reader &#8220;Marie&#8221; called my posts disheartening.  That may very well be the case, but I see things from a different perspective.  These people with their happy-go-lucky dating blogs are only telling you half of the story&#8230; and it&#8217;s NOT the half that&#8217;s going to help you when YOU&#8217;RE the one that gets the &#8220;I&#8217;m dumping you&#8221; call (or text) out of the blue from the guy you thought you were in an exclusive relationship with.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m only a man&#8221; might work on *YOU* and get you to go to your girlfriends yammering about how weak your now-ex-boyfriend&#8217;s mind is that he wasn&#8217;t able to resist the slightest &#8220;temptation&#8221;, but I guarantee you that same dude isn&#8217;t thinking about you AT ALL while he&#8217;s hooking up with the next chick, except for those brief moments in time where he thinks &#8220;Thank God I&#8217;m rid of what&#8217;shername&#8221; in between strokes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2009/04/09/tell-chicks-youre-crazy/"></g:plusone></div><p>Check <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_IlgCxzJnc" rel="nofollow">these chicks</a> out talking about how sexy it is that a guy goes to therapy:</p>
<p><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r_IlgCxzJnc&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r_IlgCxzJnc&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now, this is one of those things that you can completely take advantage of.  It&#8217;s pretty much a New York City staple for people to be in &#8220;therapy&#8221;.  If you don&#8217;t know what therapy is, it&#8217;s when someone smarter than you tells you what&#8217;s really going on in your life that you can&#8217;t see yourself.  So, basically, a chick goes to the therapist and lays down on the couch (did you ever actually notice that &#8220;Therapist&#8221; spells &#8220;The Rapist&#8221;?) and says &#8220;People think I&#8217;m a ho, and I can&#8217;t stand that&#8221;.  The therapist goes &#8220;How many guys did you have sex with in the same group?&#8221;, and then she says &#8220;10&#8230; Wait&#8230; 11.&#8221; So then the therapist says &#8220;Guys think you&#8217;re easy because they all got some, effortlessly&#8221; and then bills you for their wisdom.</p>
<p>I hadn&#8217;t thought of this before, but this is a brilliant way to get over.  Tell chicks you&#8217;re crazy.  You&#8217;re insane, except!!!&#8230;. You&#8217;re WORKIN&#8217; ON IT! :D <span id="more-4592"></span></p>
<h2>It Wasn&#8217;t Me</h2>
<p>2:10 in, this chick is talking about this guy that was hittin&#8217; it proppah, then he gave some excuse about having OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) to &#8220;push her away&#8221;.  This is BRILLIANT! :D  I honestly hadn&#8217;t though of this technique before.  Blame the reason that you&#8217;re done tappin&#8217; that on some kind of mental disease that you have ZERO control over!  Sweet!</p>
<p>Now, I wouldn&#8217;t advocate using this style outside of NYC, because there are so many people here &#8220;in therapy&#8221; that it&#8217;s basically the norm.  Most likely, by telling her that you&#8217;re in therapy for something, she&#8217;s going to identify with you BETTER, because she is too, and she was afraid to tell you about it, lest you think SHE&#8217;S crazy and break north with no delay&#8230; I mean, tap it one more time AND THEN break north with no delay!</p>
<p>The chick goes on to give the guy props for admitting that he&#8217;s trippin&#8217;, and that &#8220;it&#8217;s not you&#8230; it&#8217;s me&#8221;, which is like routine A-1 in the playbook, except with the twist that it&#8217;s more believable because you&#8217;re sharing that you&#8217;re not in control of your own mental decision-making.  This will make sense to her, because she couldn&#8217;t figure out why you were done hittin&#8217; it in the first place.  By admitting that you flipped your wig, she feels better about herself and doesn&#8217;t feel that you met a hotter chick that you&#8217;ve been messing with in the meantime.</p>
<h2>I&#8217;m Workin&#8217; On It</h2>
<p>@ 3:28, this chick says &#8220;I think any guy that goes to a therapist gets automatic points&#8221;.  CHA-CHINGGG! :D  That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talkin&#8217; &#8217;bout!  See that?  Admitting unprovable flaws is clearly the way to go.  This is especially true when they excuse you from certain things, like having sex with this chick or listening to how her day was or answering her phone calls for four days in a row.</p>
<p>BTW&#8230;&#8230; Do NOT try this technique with chicks that like to blab their mouths all over the street about your business.  This is ONLY to be used with chicks you can actually trust and only when you feel it&#8217;s going to improve your relationship more so than admitting that you were tired of screwing her or that you&#8217;ve been messing with a hawter chick in the meantime.</p>
<p>Having said that, this is a great new technique which I&#8217;ll be testing out in the coming weeks.  If I detect any major flaws, I&#8217;ll keep y&#8217;all up to date, but I think telling chicks you&#8217;re crazy (and workin&#8217; on it) is really brilliant, and if played right, potentially extremely effective! :D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2009/03/12/sex-by-mistake/"></g:plusone></div><p><a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/03/10/weapons-of-ass-distraction/" title="Weapons of Ass Distraction by Bill Cammack" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://e.static.blip.tv/BillCammack-WeaponsOfAssDistraction113.jpg" width="260" alt="Bill Cammack / Weapons of Ass Distraction" /></a>Ladies. <em>Please</em> wake up. There is no such thing as a guy having sex by mistake.  Period.  No chance, no way, no how.  None.</p>
<p>I was having this conversation about &#8220;the truth&#8221; with a friend the other day, and the scenario came up of a guy being in a relationship with one chick and then having sex with a different chick and returning to his so-called &#8220;girlfriend&#8221; and telling her &#8220;the truth&#8221;.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, :) My friend&#8217;s version of a guy telling &#8220;the truth&#8221; included &#8220;blah blah blah blah and I made a mistake and blah blah blah&#8221;.  Sorry.  That doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<h2>Free Will</h2>
<p>What had happened was&#8230;.. He did what he wanted to do AT. THAT. TIME., and now he feels sorry about it.</p>
<p><em>Maybe</em> he feels sorry because he went back on his word, which has nothing to do with his girl and everything to do with who he thinks he is as a person and what he believes (believED) his overall character is (was).</p>
<p><em>Maybe</em> he feels sorry because he didn&#8217;t think he was the type of guy to cheat, and he found out &#8220;the hard way&#8221; that he was (is).</p>
<p><em>Maybe</em> he feels sorry that he can&#8217;t look his girl in the eye and continue the lie that he&#8217;s only having sex with her. <span id="more-4207"></span></p>
<p><em>Maybe</em> he feels sorry that he&#8217;s going to break her heart when he tells her the truth.</p>
<p><em>Maybe</em> he feels sorry that he&#8217;s risking his relationship being over, just because of a few hours (minutes?&#8230; seconds?) of fun.</p>
<p>Whatever he&#8217;s sorry about <em><strong>NOW</strong></em> has no bearing on what he did <em><strong>THEN</strong></em>, which was to pull up to the next chick&#8217;s bumper, bay-bay, in his long black limousine:</p>
<p><object width="320" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XVa1T9N62hQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XVa1T9N62hQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="240"></embed></object></p>
<h2>Now and Then</h2>
<p>Does he feel <em><strong>NOW</strong></em> like it was &#8220;a mistake&#8221;?  In the grand scheme of things, yes, he does.  That doesn&#8217;t make his action &#8220;a mistake&#8221;.  It makes it a BAD IDEA.  People have BAD IDEAS all the time, like selecting <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/10/27/sarah-palin-wardrobe/">Sarah Palin</a> as a running mate.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.shallownation.com/images/sarah-palin-john-mccain-2008-republican-vice-president-announcement2.JPG" width="240" alt="Sarah Palin" title="Sarah Palin">See, but you can&#8217;t turn around after you get BLOWN OUT in the Presidential Election and say &#8220;Honey&#8230; I made a mistake by selecting Sarah&#8221;.  The fact remains that you chose her, and you did what you did, and you got what you got.</p>
<p>Tell it like it is: &#8220;Honey&#8230; I made a conscious decision to run with Sarah Palin, and I LIZOST, big-time, like in a practically historical landslide&#8221;.</p>
<p>Similarly, if your man steps to you after the fact with some form of &#8220;excuse&#8221;, it needs to include the fact that at the time, he was doing EXACTLY what he wanted to do, which was tap the other chick.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mistake" rel="nofollow">Mistake</a>:<br />
transitive verb<br />
1: to blunder in the choice of (mistook her way in the dark)<br />
2a: to misunderstand the meaning or intention of : misinterpret (don&#8217;t mistake me, I mean exactly what I said)<br />
2b: to make a wrong judgment of the character or ability of<br />
3: to identify wrongly : confuse with another (I mistook him for his brother)</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>1:</strong> To blunder in the choice of: &#8220;Sorry honey&#8230; Turns out, I blundered in the choice of which female to have sex with&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>2a:</strong> To misunderstand the meaning or intention of: &#8220;Sorry honey&#8230;  I didn&#8217;t understand that if I tapped that, you would get upset or feel betrayed.  When you had said &#8216;sex&#8217;, I didn&#8217;t know you meant &#8216;intercourse&#8217;, exactly&#8230; My bad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>2b:</strong> To make a wrong judgment of the character or ability of: &#8220;Sorry honey&#8230; When she invited me back to her place so she could &#8216;Knock my socks off&#8217;, I thought she meant she could beat me at Scrabble or Connect-4.  When I had told her I had a girlfriend, and she said &#8216;so what?&#8217;, haha I thought she was joking. :)  Apparently, I completely misjudged her character&#8230;. um&#8230; as well as her ABILITY!!! (good-googelamoogela!)&#8230; My bad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>3:</strong> To identify wrongly:  I&#8217;m not even going to get into this one, because I *JUST* posted about that in <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/03/11/did-your-man-call-out-another-woman-name/">&#8220;Did your man call out another womanâ€™s name?&#8221;</a>.  Just make sure you apply &#8220;My bad&#8221; at the end.</p>
<h2>Kilts and Bagpipes</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billcammack/1702724816/" title="City at Night by Bill Cammack" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/1702724816_1c10793480_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="City at Night / Bill Cammack" /></a>So you see, even if you were to take his word that it was &#8220;a mistake&#8221; that he had sex with someone other than yourself, that&#8217;s not an EXCUSE.  <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/09/05/alcohol-is-no-excuse/">Neither is alcohol</a>, but we&#8217;ve gone over that one already, back in September.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no such thing as a guy having sex by mistake because first of all, there&#8217;s a physical arousal component that needs to be present in order for intercourse to occur at all.  It&#8217;s not like y&#8217;all chicks that all you have to do is lean back and all of a sudden, you&#8217;re getting laid.</p>
<p>On top of that, being that this is neither Scotland nor Ireland, most guys are wearing *PANTS*!  These pants are normally accessorized with BELTS, ZIPPERS and BUTTONS, so it&#8217;s not very likely that they were removed &#8220;by mistake&#8221;.</p>
<p>Claiming condom use is a win/lose situation.  You&#8217;re giving up the &#8220;mistake&#8221; defense for the &#8220;safer sex&#8221; defense&#8230; That is&#8230; Unless you happen to own a pair of pants that automatically attaches a condom to your person if they&#8217;re removed from your body outside the presence of your girlfriend.</p>
<p>So, Please, Ladies.  WAKE UP, and stop accepting these retarded &#8220;excuses&#8221; for what a guy planned to do, did, and is now trying to get over for.  If you feel like your man LEGITIMATELY made a mistake by having sex with some other chick, and you took him back because he &#8220;told you the truth&#8221;, tell us the story in the comments below about how you went out like a sucker and fell for the old okey-doke.</p>

<p>This is why I just completely DETEST when people try to use alcohol as an excuse as far as why they did something.  It&#8217;s a copout.  It&#8217;s bullshit.  There are two main reasons for this.</p>
<p>First&#8230; if YOU drank the alcohol YOURSELF, and you knew what you were drinking, I don&#8217;t want to hear it.  The only break you might get is if you&#8217;re just beginning drinking.   A friend of mine in college drank alcohol for what may have been his first time, but was DEFINITELY a rare occasion for him, and he swore up and down that our other friend&#8217;s hair was WHITE&#8230; when I was looking right at it, and my friend&#8217;s hair was BLACK. :D  As friends, it was our duty and responsibility to BAN THAT GUY FROM DRINKING EVER AGAIN!  He did it as an experiment, just to try it out, but alcohol just didn&#8217;t agree with him and it was in everyone&#8217;s best interest, especially his own that he keep his mind right, so he was banned.</p>
<p>So.. Other than not understanding what the alcohol was going to do to you because you&#8217;re just starting, NOBODY has an excuse for what they did when it comes to alcohol, IMO.  It&#8217;s YOUR responsibility to know whether you can handle it or not.  It&#8217;s NOT your friend&#8217;s responsibility to &#8220;look out for you&#8221; after you&#8217;ve incapacitated yourself.  It&#8217;s a good deed, and it&#8217;s nice of friends to do that, because friends have definitely done that for me, like when I&#8217;ve fallen asleep on the subway and was leaning all over people I didn&#8217;t know, or when they didn&#8217;t want me to ride my bike, or when I licked birthday cake off of some chick&#8217;s face at her party and her uncle thought he was gonna do something about it, but my friends didn&#8217;t HAVE TO look out for me in those situations.  They CHOSE TO, even though I didn&#8217;t ask them to, and I appreciate that.  Completely.</p>
<p>Still&#8230; Choosing to drink AT ALL makes it MY responsibility from the giddyap.  That&#8217;s the first reason why alcohol is no excuse for ANYTHING.  It&#8217;s something that YOU do to YOURSELF.  You utilized your own free will and ingested the beverages, so now you can deal, or you can&#8217;t.</p>
<p>A friend of mine told me just the other day about a situation where she went out to a bar with some other chicks, one of them &#8220;got nice&#8221; on her own, met a guy she liked, hooked up with him, and then, the next day, she was all like &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you stop me? :O&#8221;.  First of all, she drank the alcohol herself.  Second of all, she didn&#8217;t hire my friend to be her babysitter for the night.  Third, she didn&#8217;t ask my friend ahead of time to stop her from spreading her legs.  Since she didn&#8217;t ask my friend, there was no reason for my friend to assume that the chick WANTED to be stopped and wasn&#8217;t acting from her own free will and basic character.  This brings us to the second reason why it&#8217;s bullshit to use alcohol as an excuse&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billcammack/2820276453/" title="Bill Cammack"><img style="float:left" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/2820276453_d95992d0cb.jpg" width="300" alt="Bill Cammack" /></a></p>
<p>My friends started drinking in Elementary School.  Their parents had the money and bought tons of liquor, my friends knew where it was and threw parties pretty much every weekend.  I wasn&#8217;t in attendance, because that wasn&#8217;t my set back then, but I heard the stories about the parties when we all got back to school.  I was just anti the whole &#8220;get high&#8221; concept until I got to college, so I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered with it anyway.</p>
<p>The reason I bring that up is that I received YEEEEARS of brainwashing about the effects of alcohol.  The main point was that when people drink, they lose their fuckin&#8217; minds.  They just go absolutely berserk and aren&#8217;t in control of themselves.  I had no choice but to buy into this, because I had never BEEN high (which some people use to denote drug use, but I use for any substance, including alcohol, glue sniffing, nail polish, huffing&#8230;) until I got to college.  I guess my very first experience with alcohol would have bolstered the brainwashing, because I couldn&#8217;t play guitar AT.ALL. :D  I remember wondering &#8220;How in the HELL does Keith Richards do it?&#8221;  I also remember the feeling of my mind being altered, and also &#8220;coming down&#8221; for the first time.  Once I got a handle on alcohol and really started THINKING and assessing my current state, I realized why people try to use alcohol as an excuse as well as why it&#8217;s completely invalid.</p>
<p>People like to use the phrase &#8220;Alcohol reduces inhibitions&#8221;, but they don&#8217;t really understand what they&#8217;re talking about.  Here&#8217;s the definition, from <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inhibition" rel="nofollow">Webster&#8217;s</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Main Entry:    inÂ·hiÂ·biÂ·tion Listen to the pronunciation of inhibition<br />
Pronunciation:    \ËŒin-hÉ™-Ëˆbi-shÉ™n, ËŒi-nÉ™-\<br />
Function:    noun<br />
Date:    14th century</p>
<p>1 a: the act of inhibiting : the state of being inhibited b: something that forbids, debars, or restricts<br />
2: <strong>an inner impediment to free activity, expression, or functioning</strong>: as a:<strong> a mental process imposing restraint upon behavior</strong> or another mental process (as a desire) b: a restraining of the function of a bodily organ or an agent (as an enzyme)</p></blockquote>
<p>So.. A reduction of inhibition, which EVERYONE AGREES that alcohol facilitates&#8230; means that when you get drunk, you lose [an inner impediment to free activity, expression or functioning].  You know what that means?  That means that when you&#8217;re drunk, You.Do.What.You.WANT.To.Do.</p>
<p>Basically, you temporarily forget to act unnaturally.  You lose the ability to remember what you told someone else you were going to do, as well as what you told YOURSELF you were going to do.  All that&#8217;s left is what you WANT to do, which is why alcohol is no excuse AT ALL for what you did while you were drunk.  None.</p>
<p>Of course, I haven&#8217;t hung out with everyone on the planet, but I don&#8217;t know ANYONE that I have EVER gotten drunk with that turned into somebody that they weren&#8217;t already, naturally, by consuming alcohol.  There&#8217;s no Jekyll &#038; Hyde.  There&#8217;s only the person they consciously strive to present to you publicly, and the person they really are, if they were to release themselves from the bullshit restrictions they put on themselves in order to be accepted in society or get the right jobs or land the right girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife.</p>
<p>Now&#8230; What does this have to do with dating? :D</p>
<p><a href="http://billcammack.com/category/datinggenius/" title="BC &amp; LC"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2134/2422392063_d2c1d24159.jpg" style="float:left" width="300" alt="BC &amp; LC" /></a></p>
<p>When you go to the bar and meet someone that&#8217;s already drunk, do yourself the favor of NOT ASSUMING he/she&#8217;s going to be the same person the next day or ever again when they&#8217;re sober.  Don&#8217;t assume that that person&#8217;s going to remember you the next time they meet you coughsorry<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#038;q=annie+does+her+thing&#038;btnG=Google+Search&#038;aq=f&#038;oq=" rel="nofollow">annie</a>cough.  Don&#8217;t assume that because y&#8217;all shared good times together that that&#8217;s going to make it to the drunk person&#8217;s long-term memory.  Don&#8217;t assume that because they gave you their number when they were drunk, they want to receive a call from you when they&#8217;re sober.</p>
<p>More importantly, if the person you&#8217;re dating is a drinker, it&#8217;s IMPERATIVE to get drunk with them.  If someone won&#8217;t drink with you, it could mean they don&#8217;t trust YOU enough to get drunk around you, but it could also mean that they don&#8217;t trust THEMSELVES to get drunk around you.  Granted&#8230; There are some people that just.don&#8217;t.drink, and more power to them.  I&#8217;m talking about the people that you KNOW drink and have TOLD YOU they drink and STILL won&#8217;t get drunk in front of you.  People get really paranoid of showing their true colors.</p>
<p>Now, as we all know, people LOVE to use alcohol as an excuse for cheating.  Hopefully, you understand now that that&#8217;s out the window.  By misusing and misunderstanding the idea of &#8220;loss of inhibitions&#8221; as well as not holding people responsible for getting themselves drunk in the first place, that&#8217;s made alcohol a loophole.  &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know what I was doing&#8221;.  &#8220;I lost my mind&#8221;.  &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I did that&#8221;.  &#8220;I&#8217;m not that type of person&#8221;.  Sorry.  Yes, you are.  You ARE the type of person to get drunk and hook up with someone you&#8217;ve never seen before in life&#8230; because you just did it.  Yes you are the type of person to get mad and start throwing things around the house or start kicking people&#8217;s asses.  Yes you are the type of person to lick birthday cake off of chicks&#8217; faces because you damned well felt like it, AND WHAT?</p>
<p>I still remember hearing the guy down the hall screaming about how his niece isn&#8217;t a whore, blah blah blah.  Sorry dude.  The only person that called your niece a whore was <strong>YOU!</strong>  She was sweating The Kid and she was gonna give it up if she felt like giving it up, so mind your business and break north if you don&#8217;t want to watch her exercise her freedom of choice and mess with The Kid.  PAYCE! :D</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been so tired of this for SO LONG that I felt like writing about it.  If you can&#8217;t handle your alcohol, don&#8217;t drink.  Period.  It&#8217;s your friends&#8217; responsibility to tell you how you&#8217;re acting, but NOT to bail you out of situations you create for yourself.  If you feel like if you drink and go out on the town, you&#8217;re gonna cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend, either DON&#8217;T DRINK or DON&#8217;T GO OUTSIDE or live with the fact that you have FREE WILL just like everyone else and are going to do WHAT you want to do WHEN you want to do it regardless of whom you told other people that you really are and especially regardless of whom you told YOURSELF that you are.</p>
