"So what? They should get a medal for correctly identifying a feeling? We do that all day long. I feel pissed off. Ta-da!" --Miranda of "Sex in the City" mocking Samantha's choice to take back an ex who cheated on her because he said being fearful of commitment was the only reason he did so.

Adi, Mitch, Alex, an assortment of the other 7th floor, and I talk about sex and relationships on a regular basis. Over the course of accumulated hours of conversations, we've all agreed on the following:

Vaginas make women crazy and often evil and manipulative, as well. Penises make men stupid enough to fall for it or, more often than not, just plain stupid.

The women in the conversation conceded to the former point, the men, the latter, so I think it's fair. ..I've been thinking a lot about men and relationships recently. I'm not entirely sure why, but I believe my thought processes can be linked to a few things. First off, my newfound addiction to "Sex in the City." Those women are absolutely crazy so, as Buddha said when I told him I was watching the show, "it's no wonder they're 30 and single." They may be 30 and single, but they certainly do get a lot of sex. I'm an attractive, college coed and I don't get as much action as they do. Admittedly, that's my fault. For example, another one of the other reasons I've had men on the brain recently is my friend Nick, who asked me if I'd be interested in being his "hookup buddy." I'm not sure why he thought that I, of all people, would say yes, but when I asked him he said he just hoped I would because I'm "ridiculously hot and fun to hang out with." I told Nick that though I'm not really a conservative person, I consider sex a very personal thing, something that two people do when they love each other (ya, I know it sounds cliche) and that, quite frankly, I couldn't have sex with someone I wasn't in a relationship with. So, seeing as I just rejected commitment free sex, it's pretty clear that it's my fault the completely insane, 30something women in that show get more action than I do.

Nick and I got to talking, after I explained to him why most women would find the question "have you ever had an orgasm?" very weird, if not rude, about relationships yesterday. Eventually, we got around to relationship phobias, his was commitment. When he asked me why I didn't have a fear of commitment like many in the dating world today, I explained to him that a real relationship was all I'd ever wanted growing up. My relationships with my family were usually strained and I didn't really have any friends so, instead of wishing for ponies or Barbie's super ultra mega pink convertible like all the other girls my age, I wanted a relationship, be it a best friend or a boyfriend. Nick thought that was cute. Then, he asked me what my relationship phobia was. "Trust," I told him.

"What do you mean?" he asked, "you always think a guy is cheating on you?"
"Oh God no! I mean trusting a person with my feelings, that kind of thing."
"What's the difference?"
"Well, the way I see it, there are two kinds of trust in a relationship: relationship trust and personal trust. When someone asks you to be in a relationship with them, you automatically give them relationship trust, they don't have to earn it, they have it until they prove they don't' deserve it. That trust is the trust that they aren't cheating on you, things like that. If you don't have that from the beginning, they'll always be suspicion, etc and the relationship will fall apart before it even starts."
"And personal trust?"
"Personal trust is, you know, getting comfortable enough with a person to confide in them, trust that they aren't going to leave or judge you. "
"That's really interesting, I think I need some time to take all that in. So, personal trust is where you have problems?"
"Ya, it takes me a while to trust someone. My friend Adi, I trust her completely, but it took me a while. Dennis I trusted fully as well. That's about it though. Everyone else I've trusted even the tiniest bit has done something to break that trust, so, I'm rather wary of who I can talk to."
"So, why won't you tell me if you've ever had an orgasm?"
"Because if I say no, you'll say 'I can fix that,' and if I say yes, you'll ask to hear all about it."
"Basically"
"So why should I tell you? I already know your responses. For no, I've already turned down your offer to "fix that" by turning you down when you asked me to be your hookup buddy and, for yes, we've already established that I have trust issues and that I consider sex a personal thing, so I wouldn't tell you all about it. Therefore, I have no reason to tell you whether or not I've ever had an orgasm."
"Makes sense, man, you're crazy."

That brings me back to "vaginas make women crazy, penises make men stupid." Those of us with vaginas may be crazy, but let me tell you why: we know what we want, we know what we're feeling, we think constantly (none of that "I'm not think about anything" crap,) and all that's frustrating. Even more frustrating are men, who don't seem to know any of that. So, we have a reason for being crazy, what's their excuse for being stupid?

For all their stupidity, I still want one (see this entry's title,) a fact that only further proves Mitch's theory that vaginas make women crazy...*sigh* I still want one. Comments ()
