We'll always be friends?

Recenlty I have heard alot about the potential for people to remain friends after a break up....LIES!!! We are only fooling ourselves when we subscribe to these childish dreams. If you stop to think about it, it is virtually impossible to remain friends no matter how "mutual" the break up is. You need proof? OK lets think about it....
Casey and Bethany are dating and for some reason Bethany breaks up with Casey. Now the only reason that they aren't dating is because Bethany doesn't want to. If she wanted to... They would still be dating. So they are just friends....NO! Casey wants to be more and the reason that he is only her friend is because he still has ambition for something to happen. If that weren't the case Casey would've broken up with Bethany, not the other way around.
Now having said that. It is true, 1 out of 1,000,000,000 couples (actual statisic) can remain friends post break-up, we call that the diamond in the rough. So given the odds of that happening why is everyone so conceded as to believe that they are the 1:1,000,000,000. It would be a much safer bet to assume that your "friendship" is destined to fail and just give up. I know that it is a hard thing to swallow but you can't argue with the numbers.

proof

Recently I have been trying to "decode" the seemingly irrational thought process of women. I concluded that not only are women not rational but they also lack the sense of logic that we, as men, assume to be normal. They just can't grasp the simplest concept even when it is explained to them using examples from their own lives. For some reason the most difficult concept for women to grasp is the x-factor dispite hours and hours of conversation they just can't accept it.

The other day I was kind of tired of trying to explain all of this with plain logic and I stumbled across a web site of someone who had explained his lack of girlfriend with math. Now many of you know that I love math and that I often look toward math to explain real world experiences. Although I found it to be quite depressing I have to admit that the numbers all add up. So for those of you who don't have a girl friend: the odds aren't in your favor. mathmatical proof that you are a loser

the X-Factor

Girls are ridiculous. They hang out with guys, call them, flirt with them, and then they get angry when the guy tries to make a move. Girls just don't understand that guys interperate niceness as flirting. Why? Because of the X-factor. What is the X-factor? It is the reason that guys hang out with girls. You can ask anyone (boy or girl) who is more fun to hang out with: a group of boys or a group of girls. 99.9% of the time the answer is boys. So if guys are more fun what motivation do they have to hang out with girls? There must be something that girls can offer that guys can't. Hmmm...What could that be? The only reason that guys hang out with girls is because of sexual intrest. The intrest isn't always for the girl herself, sometimes it is for friends, roommates or even a sister, but the point is there is always an alternitive motive. I know that girls don't want to hear it but theyneed to get it through they heads. Giving out phone numbers is considered flirting. Calling "just to say hi" is considered flirting. Calling (period) is considered flirting. I'm sorry. I know that you don't like to hear it but it's true. If you don't believe it, You're wrong.

Settling

If you live in provo I know that you have heard countless lectures about courtship and marriage. They always talk about the same major points. What always strikes me as odd about these talks is that they talk about dating as if they are REMINDING the men about it...because we don't think about it every 7 seconds anyway. The problem isn't we are forgetting to date. The problem is that we don't like our dates (or they don't like us). The next part of the lecture is about the people who getting too "old" for Provo. "Why aren't you married?" If you think about it the question is retarded. They aren't married because the haven't found someone that they like enough. Inevitably someone will say "you aren't married because you are to picky!" What the hell is that supposed to mean. Should we SETTLE on someone that we kind of like. If we did that we would regret it the rest of our lifes. How would like to be the person that was settled upon? "My wife/husband didn't think that he/she would do any better..." Not me. Call it picky if you want. I call it self respect.

the Cause

Honesty. Thats it. The principle flaw in relationships today is the lack of honesty. Whether or girls realize it or not they are taught to lie from their youth. Don't believe me... what about when they are told never say no when a boy asks them on a date. Harmless, right? Wrong. This leads to pity dates. Pity dates lead people on. Being lead on leads to pain.

The revelation

Since the begining of time it has been taught that pain and suffering are part of relationships; part of finding the "ONE". But tell me, where in modern day teachings can this "doctrine" be found ...NO WHERE. Love shouldn't hurt. That is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard, if love hurt why would we want it so much. You wouldn't want a kick to the face, would you? No, because it hurts. The idea of longing for something that will only hurt in the end is stupid. Nothing else, just plain stupidity. The myth that anguish is part of dating is the biggest lie in Provo culture. It is through this lie that hundreds, nay thousands, of lives have been ruined. It is time to change. It is time for balance.
