On the Rebound

[ecojeanne]

of course neo's right in principle.

BUT i did however a while back get the impression that you neo didn't like women when you were attacking starbuck on the 9/11 thread. your comments showed a distain for women

therefore vashti is right, there is a big difference between you and grib-altho sometimes i do wonder grib

just my thoughts

[Gribble]

I'm not using her. I'm hoping to be used by her. There's a difference. Even if I am trying to orchestrate all this from behind the curtain.

Okay. So not much of a difference, but if it works out she won't feel used, and it's only a crime if you're caught.

Rebound sex? You really want to be some gals rebound clown? Why don't you find a nice, stable gal who you could actually have some fun with and learn something from. What happened with the other one? Did she stop calling you or vice-versa?

She's a nice, cute girl. I could hang out at bars and try to pick up the chicks who want a quick hook-up. We could have our fun and be done with it, no harm done. I'm just not attracted to those women at all. This way I get to sleep with the sort of girl I find appealing and I don't have to deal with her afterward. I'm hooking up with a quality chick. If people want to stick a negative connotation to rebound sex, let 'em.

I'm a loner. An eternal bachelor. I don't want a girlfriend. However, I'm also a man and despite my best efforts I'm still nothing more than a roiling mess of chemicals and synaptic discharges. I need sex. I can only resist that need for so long.

I stopped taking her calls. I wasn't really planning to sever all communication but that's the way it went. I realized it'd been quite a while (by other people's standards) since we last spoke, so I figured it was a good time to call and give her the ol' song and dance. Told her I'm not ready, I've got a lot of problems and she can do better, blah, blah, blah.

Personally, I think it's a point of view that opposes accountability. At some point I believe we need to take responsibility for our actions and not blame it on some chemicals and our genetic make up. That's why we have will power. At some point in life we need to mature, develop self control and oppose those things that we don't want to be, otherwise we are just slaves, like a dog tied to a cart, that goes wherever the cart goes.

Celibacy is not an option. Relationships are not an option. On the one hand we have one of humanity's greatest perversities. I can't think of a greater affront to one's own humanity than to deny the sole purpose of existence. On the other we have something that I find absolutely unbearable, something that I feel is self-destructive and foolish.

You're right, though. I shouldn't blame the chemicals. I'll blame society instead. Grow the **** up, people. Accept sex for what it really is. Drop the creepy possessive shit. Accept that love is fleeting and brief. If you must bring more children into this world do so with a partner you've selected intelligently, not whoever happens to trigger a primitive physical response you mistake for magical mumbo jumbo.

I want to ****. I want to be friendly and honest with the girls I ****. When we're done ****ing I want them to find other guys to **** and I'll find other girls. And who knows? Maybe we'll stay friendly and **** again when the opportunity arises.

Since that isn't really an option, and since I have no other options, I'll do what I can and if a few people get hurt, well, that's too damn bad for them.

Ahh just wait until you pass your sexual peak, Gribs. Then you won't need to 'follow' women around like a lost hound anymore. What a great relief that would be, huh?

[LadieNisha4u2nv]

The way I see it is this:

If all you wanna do is **** without strings attached, make sure you do it with somebody with the same mentality. It would be a ton more annoying and alot of work to get somebody to leave you alone after you wanna cut the ****ing off and move on to the next chick.

A **** buddy is supposed to be just that. No extra calls to see how you doin, no hangin out, none of that shit. Get straight to the point and keep it movin.

haha, where did this perception that I'm all brawn come from?

I didn't say that. Read again. I just think Gribble is smarter than you. Shrug.

Okay. You should really go back and look over some of Cam's posts about his youth. I think you have a lot in common. He might have some wisdom for you (or not).

Full marks for honesty here, btw. I wonder what would happen tho, if you were as honest with these gals instead of psyching them? It does smell of manipulation, young Emory.

I'd be celibate. I've tried it. People don't appreciate honesty.

[IndiReloaded]

True enough, unfortunately. We should be telepaths, make our lives much easier. Check your PM.

Someone's gotta take advantage of the bimbos. It's how they learn, right?

You'd be celibate for a reason because majority of people don't want to be used. What you are doing is not good, I hope that on some level you realize that.

[Gribble]

I take what I need while trying to inflict the least harm. That's more than many other people can claim. No. I don't feel bad. I'm sorry I live in a society that can't value sex for what it is and enjoy it rather than feel guilty about it, or restrict its flow.

Call me a hippie if you want but this would be a better world if we all spent more time having sex and less time worrying about who our partners are adding to their Facebook friends list and where those flirtatious text messages came from.

[misombra]

how many threads about this same thing do we have to have?

[Gribble]

Quite a few. Hur. I like girls.
