One more thing…

Oh, and can we talk about women for a second?

Totally apart from the sheer mess that is one of my best friends’ relationship with his “ex” who’s currently abroad (who he talks to for HOURS a day - and don’t deny it, you know it’s true!), which stresses me out by proxy, it seems I spend all my time these days trying to figure out just what the hell is up with the woman and I. You know the one - the one I debated talking to about a month ago. Things are coming to an end, and we’re on the same see-saw we’ve been on since day one. You know, the one she probably doesn’t realize we’re on.

I might have sort of told her off last week.

Wounded Game Theory

The other day I posted a rather long quote on the Tumble about so-called “Wounded Game Theory”. Having had a chance to discuss it with those friends of mine who happen to be of the male persuasion, I’ve discovered that she’s actually startlingly correct.

On some things anyways. It’s like this: far from being a kickback to our dark, primeval past, this phenomenon hints at something which is actually quite a recent phenomenon. With the rise of male image stereotyping in media, guys (especially college-aged guys) are becoming more and more self-conscious. Now days, many of the same self-confidence issues that people stereotype women with are becoming more and more prevalent among men. What does that mean to you? Y’all make yourselves too inaccessible. Especially when you’re all “prettied up”.

Japanese Television

Sometimes the things they put oN Japanese TV make me wonder about Japan… This iS one oF them. I’m not going to tell you What’s going on here, but you’ll be able to figure it out eventually…

Link of the Night: Blog of awesomeness…

So a co-worker directed me to this blog today. I found a lot of links there that I wanted to put up… But I also pretty much realized that I wanted to put them ALL up. So this is today’s ironically-named “Link of the Night”.

Orson also pointed me here. I don’t find it as funny as he does, but I have to admit that it’s kind of entertaining. Kinda interesting to see a company using marketing that makes fun of the need for their product, and doubly interesting to see how these women view the product and their need for it. The whole thing strikes me as a REALLY clever way to do marketing research and market your product for little cost at the same time…

Of course, there are a bunch of guys on there too. Funny how all their suggestions involve the condoms being too small for them… Way to be mature guys.
