Only because somebunny asked so nicely
Gentlemen, come here. Mistress Sabre feels the need to impart some wisdom on your asses.
I have a couple of guy friends, pretty decent sorts overall, who are on various dating sites. Which, you know, fine. But these guys also happen to be in long term relationships. Of course, that’s sort of taking away from that whole “pretty decent sort” thing, but there you go.
Fran and I generally refer to this as the “Angelina Jolie Syndrome.” As in Angelina Jolie could very well be right around the corner and a fellow would be wise to keep his options open. Because, you know, Angelina wants you.
*cough*
I’ve been mulling this over in my head a lot over the last month. You could say I’ve had reason to consider all of the ramifications of this trend, but really, let’s just not go there.
Guys, you are right, there -is- someone prettier, smarter, nicer, sexier than your girl. There always will be. And yeah, she might even want to go out with you. So go ahead, keep your options open. Do your thing. Cruise the dating sites, hell register on the trashy hook-up sites, get all freaky with it.
And while you’re doing your thing, don’t look so fucking surprised when your girl gets tired of the bullshit and starts considering -her- options. Because there is someone hotter, smarter, nicer, and more respectful than you. There are men who don’t spend their free time thinking the grass is greener in the neighbor’s yard and trying to figure out how to hop the fence with no one the wiser. Sooner or later, she’s going to realize that, and you will be history.
Believe it.
