Dumb Relationship Advice

L:

So in my post oral surgery recovery haze on Friday I decided to kick back and check in with some mags I haven't had a chance to catch up on lately. Enter Cosmo with a small piece called "Dumb Advice Your Guy is Getting". Immediately I start laughing because while this might be somewhat earth shattering for some...so not for me. I know there's so much truly idiotic relationship advice swirling about it's enough to make you want to hit the freakin' RESET button ya know?

So basically, the ridiculous advice being handed out by http://www.becomeaplayer.com/ is schooling our objects of affection to crank up the mega-kilowatt charm on us kittens for a 24 hour period and then go into blackout mode for the subsequent 24 hour period...with the belief that we will then be so wonton in our desire we won't be able to stop thinking about them. LMBO...are they really serious? And who are the women they used in this little study? Personally, I can spot that game a mile away and guess what? Homey don't play it...No self-respecting woman I know will fall for that nonsense. If you don't call me in attempts to make me somehow desire you more, then don't call again. Because unless you broke all your fingers or you were kidnapped at gunpoint and dragged off to another country, I know you can use the phone and I will now be ignoring you. I cannot believe people actually still follow this crap in the hopes of finding anything meaningful. It doesn't even have to be true love, but c'mon people...let's at least keep it real between each other. The Savage Women say the truth is all we know how to deal with...everything else is just well...craptastic! Right K?

LOL It is all soo unbelievable?! Dumb relationship advice being given out faster than lollipops at the doctor's office. So I guess the idea is to have us pacing our living rooms, spoon in one hand, Ben & Jerry's in the other, all in frantic anticipation of their call. Hmmm, I saw a post online recently about the reasons men don't call. All ranging from he's just not that interested to he is out hanging with the fellas. I had to chime in and remind the poser, uh mean, poster what made this all so hilarious to me. As I get older, I find more often than not, I don't care if he calls and frankly, I even forget he was supposed to call in the first place! LOL Not because I am some amazing woman who has conquered all the tricks to dating. Not even close. I forget and/or don't care mainly because my life is too busy to wonder about some man gracing me with his call.

I am sure there are alot of women like me out there. We are mothers, business owners, sisters, friends with so much stuff to do and things we want to do...that ultimately I say, "Get in where you can fit in!". This is not to say that I don't have time for men. I absolutely do, but I have goals and a schedule too! So forgive me if that dumb advice comes across as foolishness at best or assanine at its worst. Call me if you're interested, but please remember it is not just about you. So if you think 24hours will give me time to remember your call, think again. In 24hours I am probably on the arm of some thoughtful man who didn't wait at all. Early Bird gets the Worm! LOL

K, you are killin' me! But that's so right. I mean this advice is based on the screwed up belief that we are such 3D losers that we have nothing better to do with our 24 hours than to spend it thinking about this cat. Mind you they don't offer any advice as to what to do when the idiot reappears after the 24 hour blackout only to discover "I'm just not that into you" and I'm not taking your calls...turnaround is fair play B..."you're done!" now get some advice for that.
