New Friends

Pros and Cons

The pros and cons of having such hot mates?

PRO: They're hot!

CON: They're hot.

You get my drift?

Of late, poor Noodle and i have made a startlingly upsetting discovery. Did you know that one of the very first things that the bible says is to 'go forth and procreate'. The thing that tends to make people truly happy in life is a family. Boyfriends seem to take priority over friends. All of these things point towards the important of having a significant other in your life. It seems to be what life is aimed for, right from the moment of birth. Think about it; why else would there be two sexes? And such segregation between the two? Holidays such as Valentine's Day, expressely to celebrate relationships? You don't see an international holiday for 'Promotions Day'. So, basically, this leads to the conclusion that the point of life is to find someone to spend your life with.

Add this to the fact that, in today's society where family is unstable and unrealiable and friends come and go like the tides, whether they're leaving the country, leaving the land of sanity or just moving on, and you have an additional problem. If you're one of those people who relies on others for happiness, which is a dangerous kind of person to be, then this isn't good. Where else is there to find comfort? Then, again steps in the guy. If he's your SO, then his main role is to be your source of comfort and to look after you. Sound soppy? Yes, but listen to the logic there. Can you see it? It's true; they've chosen to be with you because they want to be. They're not forced to be around because of blood ties or because you were in the same class. So, it makes sense that they'd be the perfect person to turn to for comfort.

So, when girls go on and on about wanting a boyfriend, are they really being that ridiculous? All the signs point to it being a natural progression in life. Who's to blame us for wanting to get there faster? We're not being silly. It makes sense! Therefore, viewing nice guys we meet with an appraising glance is perfectly reasonable. And when we meet a whole lot of guys in a row, all nice, all cute, there's no reason we shouldn't appraise.

I tend to have these random thought trains which don't really lead to a point. For example, i've thought of all this, but i'm not sure where it's headed. I suppose i just mean that wanting people to like you, wanting to find that omnipotent source of comfort and protection, isn't unusual. Neither is walling over guys who fill the job description perfectly!

Ok, tada! I've officially managed to justify any walling i may do over Bubbles or BBs. How good am i? Noodle, we're still in the clear. All is not lost yet!
