Savage Love
Anyone else read this?
this one made me shit myslef laughing. "Recently, my boyfriend and i broke up, one reason being his lack of initiative in calling me. After we broke up, I sopke with several of my girlfriends and fount out that they, too, have similar troubles with thier boyfriends or guys they are seeing. Some of these women are in serious, long-term, loving relationships. It seems to me that this is a blight on modern relationships.Women want to get phone calls from our significant others beacuse it lets us know we are cared for, but men seem to be indifferent, even after its been broughtup and discussed. Are we women asking too much? Or are men being thoughtless?" -GIVE ME A CALL I've been racking my brain for hours, GMAC, in a desparate effort to recall if i have ever-evereverevereverever-received a question that interests me less than yours. I get alot of insipid questions from people about piddling bullshit, and yet the only letters I can recall that even come close to yours are the ones from straight women worried that thier husbands or boyfriends are secretly gay. here's a sampling from some of those actual letters and my actual responses: "He likes to wear bright colors. is he gay?" (No, he's not. If he liked sucking my cock, maybe.) "My boyfriend really gets off on eating my ass. is he gay?" (No, hes not. If he got off on eating my ass, maybe.) "My huband has a really close male friend. They go to games together, and sometimes even to the gym. Are they gay?" (No, they're not. Sometimes even straight guys go to the gym.) Okay, GMAC, on to your letter: Can't the answer to both your questions be yes? Yes, straight women are asking too much, GMAC. Stereotypical straight men, as every women knows, don't like to gab away on the phone. a straight guy would rather show he loves you by, say, fixing your car, or coming all over your face. If you're attracted to straight guys, a lack of initiative in the phone-call department and the occasional facial are part of the price of admission. Want someone to call you up just to talk? Get some girlfriends ro stop paying your credit card bills. Yes, straight men are thoughtless. Stereotypical straight women, as every man knows, like to get little calls, you know, just 'cause. If staight guys were more thoughtful, it might occur to them that a direct corrolation exists between the number of calls a girl gets and the number of facials she's willing to sit still for. Finally, GMAC, do me a favour. If you ever find yourslef dating a guy who calls you constantly just to let you know how much he cares, p[lease don't write me a letter like "He's always calling to check in, asking me how my day is going, and telling me he loves me. He's so considerate, Dan! Is he gay?" Because we both know the answer to that question is yes. |
