Troubles

Mingaling wonders: can we just date men without having them drive us crazy, life-partner material or not?

No! It can't happen. I've tried it the other way. I had flip-charts, dry-erase markers, and mathematical formulas. It can't be done. Why? Why can't we just date and coast along with no troubles, mind-numbing questions, and what-if's? We are women. It's what we do. We think through situations thouroghly. Most times coming to incorrect conclusions. Conclusions based on our logic, the way our team (the PINK team) operates. We discuss. We sit in "round table" discussion with our girlfreinds over-pontificating about what exactly he meant when he said, "Yeah, those are nice shoes." What did he mean? He meant, the shoes are nice. Simple.

If we didn't what else would we do right before we went to bed? Dream about black dicks? No, We have to think. We have to think about what we're going to eat for breakfast tomarrow, what we're going to wear, did we pay our cell phone bill, did we let the dog out, the cat in, is the iron off, what was that noise... You get my drift.

If we didn't think so much, men wouldn't drive us crazy. But we can't stop the thoughts. Don't think because we busy ourselves with bettering ourselves, we won't find time to obsess over men and all the other things I listed above. And come on, isn't obsessing over Mr. Wonderful, Mr. Not-As-Wonderful-As-He-Used-To-Be, and Mr. WTF-Was-I-Thinking kind of fun?
