Men Of The World, Listen Up.

I've run out of patience with men.

So me, Charolastra No.1, Pickled Lily and the Stig were in the pub yesterday discussing men and women. And why it's still so bloody complicated. It all stemmed from talking about my half-baked tryst with Rocket Boy which appears to have been fraught with confusion from any given angle. He is still reeling a bit from whatever happened with his newly exed girlfriend, and backed away suddenly and strangely from our flirty play, presumably not wanting to jump into another relationship. Which, by the way, I never wanted from him. So now, I have to miss out on a cute boy, who I could have had a bit of fun and a bit of making out with, because apparently women are all gagging for a relationship.

I just want some fun, dammit. And fun doesn't have to be meaningless, it just has to be.. simpler. Gentler. Without agenda. Why is that so hard to find?

Why is it that fun gets such a bad rap - having fun makes you feel good about the world, and can be lovely. Having fun with someone is brilliant, but for some reason when you say 'I want to have some fun with you' it makes it sound unimportant, or hedonistic. And why is it that the default assumption is that men only want a fuck, and women only want a relationship? Because it's bollocks! Well, the 2nd part is, anyway.

Cute boys of the world, listen up. If I am by chance flirting with you, this does not mean that I want to marry you, or meet your parents, or bloody fall in love with you, I would just like to have a conversation and a bit of a laugh. And possibly some sex. I would like a sprinkling of conversation with my sex please. And maybe a dash of friendship. No? Just the sex then. For the record, I'm pretty cool. I'm interesting, and funny, and I'd love to see if you are too. Why would you not want to get to know me a bit, hmm? And why are you not flattered that another person wants to know what you're about, if only for a moment? Because apparently that is terrifying to you. And as such, just so you know, men of the world, you are missing out.
