Worktime Rumblings and Grumblings

I'm currently sitting here, wasting away the rest of my work day. A friend is flying into town last night and I cant wait. Unfortunately his flight was delayed, he should have already landed. Oh well. This is going to be a great week. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it plays out. I have Friday off due to the 4th, I may take sick day at some other point, and I'll be in San Diego for the 4th. Good things are right around the corner for the week. Unfortunately, this is about as positive as I'm going to get today.

D ignored a text of mine today; that's two. One more and we may be in trouble. It's becoming more and more clear that I've been relegated to her "I'll only deal with him when it's convenient for me" list. We have "concrete" plans to hang out on Thursday, and tentative ones for tomorrow, how those two days shape out is how I'm going to go about my next move. If things play out comparative to how they have been, or if she blows me off on both nights then it's time for me to cut my losses, make a break and move on. It might just be the best thing for me. One thing I've learned is that it's best to get out of these situations asap. Granted, I've failed doing this thus far considering I've been bitching about this for what seems like forever now, but sometimes it's hard to let go.

This situation with D combined with some knowledge I've gained from past relationships combined with knowledge I've gained from talking with and observing other people when it comes to relationships. This situation, coupled with everything I just listed, has allowed me to create a theory on the evolution of relationships and how people go about them. Bear with me here.

Back in the day it was basically men's choice; we chose our women, went after them and they were just happy to have a man for security, etc. Of course, back then just like now, some women were more desirable than men which led to competition for the favor of women; buying them things, doing other things to impress them, etc. After awhile, the women started to evolve and realize the power they had, and began to use and eventually abuse that power for their own gain.

That brings us to the age of gold-diggers and the like. You have these guys going out of their way and doing whatever they can to gain the approval of these women who, most of the time, don't even want them, just want to use them for their money. We are currently in the tail end of this era.

Men are now evolving to combat the abuse put on them by women. This is the birth of "the player" as it's become commonly known. After years of being used and abused by women, men have gotten tired of it and have realized that there's no point in trying to lock down a good woman for life; better to just use 'em and lose 'em. In other words, this is the root of the "death of romance" that D blogged about recently, the one I talked about not too long ago.

So, Basically what I'm trying to say is that people evolve, and this effects how we as a society go about our relationships. Right now we're in mid evolution, nobody really acknowledges it yet but there's a war going on, a power struggle between the two sexes. The women are trying to clutch onto their power and the men are trying to take it back by reversing the using.

The invention of "the player" is a direct response to the gold-digger in my opinion. Any man who's been around the dating block knows that women, as a species, are heartless, especially when their young. And that's when the tables turn, but I'll get to that in a second. I've always said that behind every player and guy who treats women like shit is a sadsob broken heart story that involves a heartless bitch wrecking him. This is the evolution, men have gotten sick of the abuse and are striking back.

The beauty of it all, from a guy's perspective, is that men age better than women. When men are young they go hard at women, looking for a future wife but the women are young, hot and have their whole life ahead of them and think it's gonna last forever so they blow us off. Then when we get older the tables turn; the women start to lose their looks and begin the desperate scramble for a husband while the men start to hit their stride and want to keep bouncing around. This is the real cause for the death of romance. Or at least part of it. The counter evolution of men to combat the evolution of women.

What does this all mean? I don't know. It's just a rough outline of a theory I have. I'm just gonna leave it at that for now.
