"Woo" Who?

Why are people so complicated? Oh, such a vast question; too many answers, too broad a subject, too vague…but, really. Why is it so hard for people to just say what they feel? What are they afraid of? Why do we play games with each other? Especially when it comes to feelings of intimacy, emotional attachment, taking a liking to someone, or whatever you want to call it.

Are relationships really so difficult that people need to say one thing and then act completely opposite from their words? Why do they say things in the first place?

Men. All the males in the world, can you please tell me why you play so many games with women? What is it about you fellas that make you want to do everything in your power to get the girl, and then once you’ve got her, you don’t want her. But it’s not just the fact that you don’t want her, I get it, you’re over her, you leave her alone, but it’s the few out there who keep her still on the edge of her seat, with some smidgen of hope that he’ll come around. What is that all about? Can’t you just let her go with one quick blow of rejection to her self-esteem? Oh no, no, no. The whole business of “courting” is just one big boat with a bunch of slimy fishermen on it. Once you’ve got your catch, you can’t just throw it back in the ocean. That’s no fun. Of course, you have to play with it first. Maybe slap it around, torture it a little, then, when it’s all beat up and bloodied with broken fins, then you can throw it back in the ocean. Wouldn’t want to kill it completely now, would you? The least you can do is spare its life. After all, fishing is just a sport.


Well, I’ve got news for you. I’m not a fish. And neither is she.
