Keep up that shitty attitude and your ridiculous notion that women are the only responsible citizens in this country and of course guys out there will appear to be nothing more than 30 year old man-children.

Sure, you blame the guys, but what about your hot, successful, single friends? Are they free from fault?

Wait a minute! I mean, what if it’s not really about a battle of the sexes or who’s better or whatever the fuck kind of weird, self-congratulating point you’re trying to make? What if it’s about BOTH guys and girls. HEY, THAT MIGHT EVEN BE SOMETHING TO BLOG ABOUT!

Too true, Tony. But the Princess thing is a whole other blog…

Though absolutely correct, this is merely half the story. As a moderately successful, semi-handsome, and mostly responsible guy, you would not believe the women I had to deal with on dates. Most were utterly confused when I informed them I did not have cable or watch TV, and thought it very strange that I might read Moby Dick without an English teacher forcing me to. While guys have turned into worthless man-children, girls have turned into bratty, Kardashian, pink-princess wannabes. It’s a sad state of affairs, but there is hope.

They say you are the average of the five people you hang out with most. So surround yourself with people that make you feel energized, ones that get you excited to try new things or excel at the things you enjoy. Take stock of your friends that don’t and ditch them. You can create your own universe, and odds are there might be a sexy and interesting significant other waiting there for you.

I didn’t mean to punch you in the nose and make you cry (If I had a nickel for every time I had to say that…). But I think that there is at least some hope to be found in the fact that while the old adage asserts that you can’t “change a man,” I have seen many couples where the woman has had a maturing influence on the man they are with. And it doesn’t always have to be because they got pregnant.

As someone who has dated every iteration of manboy out there, this blog is like a punch in my nose. You know, the kind that makes you cry despite all your best efforts. I wind up with these guys because they’re fun and relatively carefree, which is something I do well and enjoy having in my life. However, I manage to do that all while freelancing and paying all my bills, something it seems fun and carefree dudes can’t do.

I’ll admit it, I know that eventually, there’s going to be some settling. I mean, we all want “Hey Girl, Ryan Gosling,” but at the end of the day, right now, what I want is a guy who makes me laugh, makes me think, has figured out how to pay their bills on time, whose apartment doesn’t make me feel like I’m living in a zombie apocalypse wasteland and who doesn’t smell like hot dog water (Oh god, is that too long of a list???).

But the points you make about men having less responsibilities is valid don’t make me any less pissed that this is the world I have to live in. Not only do I have to fight for my rights as a woman, but I have to fight just to get a significant other to pick up a goddamned dish around the house.

Better living through chemistry. A necessary evil some times. The abusers have more problems then just the drugs. That’s just a part of it all.

Hi Cassandra, you faved one of my tweets today (@oscarpop17 – “Bananamerica” , and I was soooo thrilled with my first “fav” ever, that I came to see more here. REally fun read, and I especially liked the part about not believing in God. I come from a small town in Ohio, way too close to the belt of the Bible, and although I call my religious upbringing, “religion light” (Protestant), and there was no real “fire on brimstone”, it had it’s own ways of oppressing the mind and convince our young minds that special faries, ghosts, and an oft referred to “holy ghost” existed, not sure but it had something to do with a “trinity” of Father, Son and Holy, ummm, ghost…

The bible and it’s stories always sounded like a man-made fable written to control the masses. I was way more influenced by “Peter and the Wolf”. I think it is why I am not a big fan of ceremony, repeated, monotone phrases that seem like they should be important but make no sense and seem to live in the phyche of the 14th Century… I agree, as I get older, I continue to wonder why people care so much that I buy into their fantasy.

If you haven’t heard my band, the gones, please give us a listen here: http://www.reverbnation.com/thegones

I see you are in Denver, so if you like what you hear, plan on coming to a great show at Bushwackers Saloon (dwn on Broadway) on Friday, the 26th of Aug. with one of our favorites, Tequila Mockingbird, we’re calling it the “Power Pop Workshop”. It’s going to be a fun show, and I’ve never met a local tweeter before, so do introduce if you come out!

Many thanks for my first “fav”!
Rock~ Oscar, the gones
