Relationship... strategery...

It seems like when you enter into a relationship, you lose the ability to decide for yourself who your new friends are going to be. When you're single, the sky is the limit. You pick friends based on what you like in a person. Single guys hang out with single guys who like the same football team. Single women hang out with single women because they like to shop at the same stores. And single guys hang out with single women, or vice versa, because they're hot. Or so they think...

When you're in a relationship, that all goes out the window. Instead of picking friends based on mutual interests, you pick friends based on strategery… The sole criteria being - how that person, or couple, benefits the relationship. Hanging out with single people who have a chance of scoring on a regular basis is out. A single friend is a bad influence on the relationship-bound. Hanging out with the opposite sex… definitely out.

But more importantly than who you can't be friends with, is who you should be friends with. And I think this is where guys mess up. We don't have any ability to comprehend how some women are not compatible with other women. In our world, all women get along. Ok… all women make out. With each other.

How many times do we say - "you should hang out with her more often" or "you should be friends with her". We don't ever consider the fact that you might not like that person. It's strategery. That person has something to offer us, and dammit, you should use your womanly powers to create a deep, long lasting friendship with that person. If for nothing else, than for the good of the relationship.

Women never say this, because really, men don't generally have anything to offer. Overall, we're pretty worthless in the realm of bettering the relationship through strategic friendships… but then, we're pretty worthless overall. You should be used to it by now….

Ahh politics.

Gone are the days where there just needed to be you and your missus. The world has changed into some struggle for power gained through other people. I blame The Sims for this. Too many people try to make friends in an effort to advance in life. They are blinded by pixelated (when they go for a dump or shower) characters who require friends for promotions.

We have forgotten that in the real world we must destroy people to advance. It's much easier to destroy people than to make friends.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaas. Destroy. People.

Mwahahahahahaha

I read all your posts and agree with most of them

Really, you're a laugh!

Besides, I like your blog because I'm studying Engineering too... well, I don't know why, but that reason makes sense to me, hehe!

Cheers, and keep this up ;)
