I found it to be a good read. I kind of agree with the writer is saying, but then again what kind of a friend cockblocks her own friends (who obviously just want to get laid)?! What a self-righteous cunt. She also comes off as rather holier-than-thou:
Though we've admittedly all had thoughts like this. It's mostly the cockblocking that pisses me off. At least guys never do that to each other *high-five*How do you deal with a friend so good at making such bad choices?

God forbid anyone suggests that the modern western courtship process with its marriage in the late thirties, kids in the early forties and 50%+ divorce rate is fundamentally broken.
There was a system that worked for thousands of years, it wasn't fair but neither is life. Then 40 or so years ago we changed that system and there is a very obvious and very visible social impact that no one is allowed to point out for fear of being branded backwards.
Are people generally happier with their lives than they were 40 years ago thanks to this progress?

Ugh! Just glad I'm nowhere near that world. Agree with starkie above. I emigrated to Asia partly to get away from the whole Western scene. Shame to see media-affected, increasing elements of it year by year here in Cambodia.
I came, I argued, I'm out

Anyway, I see what the author is saying. It'd be one thing if the friend was back in a healthy state of mind and knew she just wanted to get laid. But, her friend didn't just "want to get laid," she was desperate, tipsy, and looking to feel wanted - three obvious things that jerks will take advantage of. The friend could have just ditched the author if she wanted the guys that badly, plus she has their numbers. The author was simply looking out for her friend, not to mention saving herself two week's worth of hearing, "can you believe I fu**ed that guy?!" anyway.
Of course to understand that one must not think the most important thing in any situation is what some dood's pee-pee wants, so ...
Yeah, nobody picked people up in bars before 40 years ago, ever. Plus everybody was happy.starkmonster wrote:God forbid anyone suggests that the modern western courtship process with its marriage in the late thirties, kids in the early forties and 50%+ divorce rate is fundamentally broken.

Obviously she had no hand in being desperate, tipsy, looking wanting, she was forced into that...

A woman having casual sex? God forbid!

Yes, that would be a great thing to say had I argued she had no hand in being desperate, tipsy, "looking wanted" (whatever that means). But I didn't, and it is beside the point anyway.vladimir wrote:Obviously she had no hand in being desperate, tipsy, looking wanting, she was forced into that...Nirvana wrote:she was desperate, tipsy, and looking to feel wanted - three obvious things that jerks will take advantage of.
Yes, that would be a great thing to say if people's responses here acted like the only thing that ever matters is what a woman wants sexually (that will NEVER happen).Or what some muffin might want
Yes, that would be a great thing to say if this was simply about casual sex. But it isn't, which I addressed at the beginning of my post.A woman having casual sex? God forbid!

Men get taken advantage of, women get taken advantage of.
Men have unhappy relationships, so do women.
It takes two, and two people are responsible for what happens.
But along the way, some have a lot of fun.
Deal with it.
KL, no one said you can't wear high-heels, is it against your employer's dress code?

why girls even need a wingwoman or a big group of friends to go in a bar ? can't they go alone if their goal is to find a mate ?
no wonder they're desperate and dateless.

I don't get it. Why do you believe she didn't just want to get laid? Is it so hard to believe that a woman who hasn't been intimate with a man for close to a year, either emotionally or physically, simply wants to get laid? I know it must sound impossible that a woman might have such urges, but in this case I think she just wanted to connect with someone, the connection being purely physical didn't seem to matter. She said it herself: "whatever I can get." Sounds more like her mind was thinking: "I'll get laid and if something comes out of it, great. If not, whatever." Also, remember that the whole picture is painted through the author's lens, who clearly frowns upon one-night stands (maybe the guys looked like jerks to her?!). Not saying that a long-term relationship with emotional attachment (which the author clearly prefers) wouldn't be healthier for her friend in the long-term, just that getting it out of her system might have been good. Who are we to judge (or the author, for that matter), whether sex wouldn't have been good for this "desperate" girl? Helping friends out is one thing, being a weird condescending-type motherly figure is something else entirely. I still say 70-90% chance or her being a cockblock.Nirvana wrote:Anyway, I see what the author is saying.
