“I need a boyfriend”
I hear this phrase a lot. I hear it from gay guys usually and it makes me want to scream. No one, anywhere, ever, needs or has ever needed a boyfriend. It is not pivotal to survival in the hunter gatherer sense of the word. What these people mean is “I want a boyfriend”.
I don’t understand why?
I think it’s my sociopathic tendencies or maybe the fact I am dead inside but why do some people have to be with someone or more often the point, anyone?
I find in my experience those guys who are always in relationships just can’t function being single. The overwhelming urge to be with someone takes over and they are forever in “relationship” mode and when they are single they mope around like that bitch in the Twilight movies (more on those later) and will actively seek dates with pretty much anyone until someone sticks around. They are so desperate to not be single they end up settling for non deserving pricks 99% of the time. Then the relationship ends and we repeat the cycle again.
The people who say they need a boyfriend in my book obviously have incredibly low self esteem / self worth as it seems that the only way they can achieve self worth is if someone else gives it to them, and that to me screams of someone with major personality problems. Why can’t these guys learn to love themselves first; before getting into a relationship.
I’m not opposed to relationships at all, but I’m not actively seeking one. If I meet a guy and find I like him and he likes me then we’ll see where it goes and you never know it may work, it may not. What I’m not going to do is sit alone, pining and thinking I’m worthless. I’m confident, I have self worth and I have some really good friends who I love to bits and a lot of friends up north and down south who I really should make the effort to see more of. What more do I need? I crave nothing else. I feel a more or less well balanced individual who is capable of functioning on his own.
A mindset which the Twilight films really seem to be eroding from a generation. Case in point, why the hell does that girl spend so much time whining and desperate to be with either hot werewolf guy or big hair vampire guy? Not once in any of the films does she entertain the prospect of just being single and being happy with herself! Is this the message Stephenie Meyer wants young people to listen to?
If so I’m taking a job with the Samaritans to see if I can cull some of these oxygen thieves from the gene pool.
In a nut shell a relationship should compliment your life, not complete it.
