Hooksexup Confessions: Sometimes the Truth Hurts

Posted by spjv840



"As I barrel towards 30, I see so many friends panicking and settling. Fuck that! I would rather die alone than waste two people's lives."

Exactly. Why settle? I don't understand this fear of being alone past a certain age (people eager to procreate not included). Why settle for being in a mediocre relationship that doesn't completely fulfil you, when you could keep on living and have a good time and maybe happen to meet someone who is exactly what you're looking for. Screw settling. Settling is for douchebags or people who can't face being alone.

"I probably fucked up one of the best relationships I have ever been in. Stupid stupid me!"

At least you realized it now and hopefully you won't fuck things up again next time! Easier said than done, I know.

"I might've accidentally given you lip herpes (cold sores)when we made out the other day. And I went down on you for like five minutes--I pray I didn't give you herpes for real from that."

Uhhhh, If you're a man, I hope you're man enough to tell this person that you might have given them herpes. If you're a woman, hopefully you have the balls to fess up. Either way, stupid move.

"im a slut."

Aren't we all? Is that such a bad thing? Unless you're the bad, skanky kind of slut, but if you're the "I'm a woman and I like to fuck" slut, party on. What you should worry about is the improper use of grammar. Just saying.

"I have a hard time interpreting whether your behavior is typical of a guy... or typical of a douchebag."

Try this: Make a list of behavior traits of a guy and one of douchebag behavior traits. Should narrow it down pretty quickly.

If what you're getting at is that people shouldn't be with someone that they're not really into then I agree. I don't agree with the notion that someone/anyone fulfills you though. A lot of people decided that they are most happy as a long-term couple (especially if they want children, which you mentioned as an exception) and chose someone they knew wouldn't be perfect but someone they could work with; usually that involves some degree of settling.

I think there's a world of difference between settling and compromising. The ones with a rose tinted view of long term relationships end up in the divorce court.

Maybe the confession was that "Im" is a slut and the typer failed to type is? Imogen's almost always are slutty.

ABOUT THE BLOG

OUR BLOGGERS

FishnetsAndLight

Professional Dominatrix, lapsed English major and token black chick extraordinaire. I'm also a great big perv. Bend over.

Location:New York, New York
Looking for: Those who aren't too afraid.

Zeitgeisty

I'm an existentialist trapped in the body of a rational humanist. I've got a penchant for misanthropy and a flair for the obvious. I'm quick with a joke or a light up your smoke, but there's someplace that I'd rather be. I'm Zeitgeisty, pleased to meet me I'm sure.

Location: Somewhere on the isle of Manhattan...
Looking for: A shining good deed in a weary world...

Airheadgenius

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers

amboabe

I'm a smart ass writer who'll argue your ear off, hold your hand close, and tell you the truth whenever. I'm a fool and a hero, a confessional soul, and lover of life in every conceivably absurd way that it can come. I also paint my toenails.

Location: San Francisco
Looking for: A sail, not an anchor.

spjv840

Slightly neurotic, over-analyzing girl..err, woman, with too much charm for the average person to handle. Has a fondness for red wine, cheap beer and a good time.

Location: The Igloo, Canada
Looking for: Nothing mediocre
