Given my adventures in modern romance recently, I can make the following observations:
1. Men are generally tossers. With some exceptions (some good friends boyfriends), Boy-behaviour is difficult to predict, random and odd.
2. Boys can not organize themselves, even if their lives depended on it. My late dad's much used saying 'he couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery' comes to mind. And dad was a brewer so he should know.
3. Modern technology fucks with your brain. Text and email flirting should be treated with caution. Don't allow yourself to get sucked into the thought that if a boy texts you endlessley; turns you on with texts and little quips about life in boy-land, that they could actually do the same in reality. Beware of a let down in physical reality. Maybe this is the modern boy?
So, the toss-pot radar is back up and running.
Time wasters need not apply.

I think that mobiles, blackberry's, email and so on (and on and on and on) have unwittingly blurred the line between real life and fantasy. Whilst texting etc.. maybe men feel they are invincible. They don't have to think on the spot, they can plot their cheesy jokes and edit their chat up lines. I wonder if then when it comes to ACTUAL real live, in the flesh contact they come crashing down. No longer can they shroud themselves in the comfort blanket of spell checker and they are forced to show their true selves, not the superhero invention. If the man in question has a limited batch of self esteem the flirting and fantasy land very quickly and destructively can unravel, leaving a confused woman and a man who feels twice as shit about himself as he did yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to tell the male population that all a girl is after is a man who is himself, warts and all. Ain't nobody waiting for a man who jumps out of phone boxes with their pants on top of their trousers :-)
