write up of observations while drinking bitch drinks.

Jealousy is a dangerous thing. I have been very observant in how couples react with eachother and with people around them. The males seem to have a very controlling attitude toward the relationships and women feel the need to assert that they are to be considered the most beautiful to their partner. The women want to put blinders on their men so they have tunnel vision and all they see is she. The men want to put women on leashes so that they can never stray too far to talk to another potential mate.

Of course this is all generalizing. This is never going to be the case with every couple, but I have noticed the above attitudes frequent my friends' relationships and I can't talk from experience, because my love life is at nothing and has been for quite some time now.

Anyway, I find that observation rather strange. I saw it at Burnt Ramen when a friend of mine was walking around talking to all her guy friends because she hadn't seen them in a long time. Her boyfriend would walk up to her when she was having a conversation with her friends and put a protective arm around her, almost marking his territory. It was rather strange and quite animalistic.

Yet, there are paradoxes in these actions. I have met several couples where there is one person who cheats. They will claim to love their partner, but the attraction to others is too compelling to ignore or they get their sexual satisfaction from the other person. It's odd because they will feel jealousy toward others that they see their partner talking to. It's really odd. I have seen it in high school and outside of high school.

Again, not everyone is like that. I have seen couples that have never cheated on eachother. It's quite odd as well. I guess their love for one another is stronger than their animalistic desires.

I find it really funny that sex is such a big part of everyone's life. Love and sex. They are both separate and intertwined.

You can love someone deeply and never have sex with him or her. It's possible and I've seen it happen before.

You can have sex with someone and never fall in love with him or her. I've seen it happen before.

You can have sex with someone and remain friends. You know, a ‘friends with benefits’ thing. They maintain friendly feelings toward one another with no commitment; also known as ‘fuck buddies’. However, that can end up either well or really nasty or both. I've seen it before.

You can start off not loving the person that you're having sex with and end up loving them in the end.
You can love the person and decide to remain abstinent until your wedding night to consummate your love for one another. It is rare, but I know of a few people who have done that.

I find it funny. Relationships, I mean. They are so sociologically interesting. I have never studied people's relationships with one another. I just observe. Purely non-fact based observations. It would be interesting to do a paper on this subject though. I find the matters of relationships so interesting because they are not as simple as I have laid it out right now. They are so complicated and difficult. There are matters of public perceptions, economic stability or lack there of, fidelity, commitment, love for another, monogamy, polygamy, etc. It is so wonderfully abstruse.

Personally, relationships scare me. Too much trust in one person frightens me beyond no end. But, then again, who am I to talk about relationships when I had but one and it was shit anyway? Observations are my only basis for the formation of my opinions.

I think this enough for my Thanksgiving post. It has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. It was inspired by my mother and step-dad's relationship. It's funny.... And cute.

I want another bitch drink (mimosa).
