Biggest mistake

If you ask the girls I've hooked up with, they're all going to tell you that my biggest mistake was being an asshole and ignoring them after we did the deed. I'd have to correct them. A one night stand is not the same as a relationship. It's just something to pass the time in a way that feels really, really good.

My answer to this brilliant inquiry? I don't make mistakes in relationships. Why? I don't get into them to begin with. Come on, the worst thing a young, single guy can do is get attached. Who the hell wants to be tied down? Figuratively, I mean. It's all about freedom and getting to do what you want, when you want to do it. The beauty of being 23 for eternity is never having to grow up and become a "family man." I guess I might slow down and get serious about someone when I'm tired of doing my own laundry, but I could always just hire a maid. I grew up with one and they're kinda nice to have around. I'd hire a hot one, though. Mrs. Finley is nice and everything, but she's looked like Methuselah's grandmother since I was a little kid. Yeah, I'd hire some really hot maid and make sure she was open to doing a little more than dusting my davenport. That still wouldn't count as a relationship, though.

Hey, you know what? This thing could be asking about friendship, too. No, that would be kinda lame. Real friends don't hold mistakes against you, so if you do make them, they don't really count. It's like I said. I don't make mistakes.

You know what I find really unfair? A guy can be like you, sleep around as much as he pleases, and he's a God. He's awesome, and it's normal. But if a girl has the same philosophy - doesn't want to be tied down, prefers friends with benefits rather than relationships - then she's a slut. That? Totally unfair.

But, anyway! I get what you mean. Completely.

Yeah, it's totally unfair but so's a lot of stuff about the world. I think society expects girls to be nicer than guys, anyway. Sniffing around anything that moves isn't all that nice.

Well I don't sniff around anything that moves. Gotta draw the line somewhere. But still, double standards suck.

You'd be surprised what you can find when you lower your standards.
