In my last blog, I briefly talked about men's competitive nature. Now I am fully realizing that everyone loves to play games. Now I'm a pretty open minded person but I really don't understand why so many people choose to play these silly dating game involving asinine rules. But you know me; I'm all about examples so lets look at a few:
Exhibit A.
Jane has a boyfriend, plus a guy she calls regularly, plus ex-boyfriends she also chats with. She expects each of these males to shower her with attention and gets angry when they mention other girls. So what game is Jane playing? She wants to have her cake and eat it, too. One guy is just not enough. She needs multiple guys to balance out her low self-esteem. I say: Drama Central.
Exhibit B.
Jack gets a girl's number. Instead of calling her, he focuses on how many days he should wait for the most desirable response. So he goes to the arbitrary rulebook and reads that there is a 3 day rule. OK, so who in the hell wrote this dating rule book cause I have a couple words for this guy (Yes, that's right, I assume it's a male cause its so ridiculous). Seriously, are we so dumb that we have to blindly follow a juvenile rulebook??

In a world with so much bull shit, why would I want to deal with any extra. I am imposed with rules everyday. At school there are rules on attendance, on grades, and even on premarital sex on campus (http://www.manhattan.edu/student_life/Manhattan_College_Student_Handbook_08.pdf). At work, the rules are in the form of maddening bureaucracy. So why do we feed into these archaic dating rules that just complicate our lives. Don't we have enough drama that we don't need to add to it by playing stupid games.
So please, next time you're thinking about what the "dating rule book" would say, just say no and pull out Monopoly. Trust me, you'll learn way more and piss of way less people... Unless you are playing against those competitive guys form my last blog. *sigh* Oh well, just trying to pass on my advice. Take it or leave it.
I'm going to go play Harvest Moon
