Bored at my dead end job today. I cannot believe I just found your blog three years after this brilliant post. You are so correct about how dating should be and how it really is. In the words of my best male friend, “Men are scum”.

No one cares about my troubles. I know. But I have been considering starting a blog myself because I like to rant. And right now I want to rant about this. Guys make ladies feel they have to be submitted to their haphazard dating habits if they don’t want to end up lonely spinsters before they hit midlife and realize they have no companion and no children. This is not true ladies! Listen to the beautiful Apocalypstick about how a REAL DATE should be. The right guy is out there and HE WILL take you on this perfect first date. Do not be like me and fall for the wrong guy’s bullshit and get pregnant by some one you literally have to run from. It might change your life for the better in the long run because it teaches you the best lesson ever, but it’s the wrong way to learn a lesson. Don’t fall for the BS and don’t think it’s your fault when something happens.

Though as the sluttier of our duo, I gotta say I LOVE being invited up for tea, and I think all first dates should end with a little over the clothes dry humping and some beard burn face sucking. But hey that’s just me!

Outside of my four years of college, which seems to be an awkward dating time for anyone, I don’t think dating is that much of a nightmare for either gender. I think poor dating practice is 100% due to the quality of men you’re dating. I typically do a dinner date for the first, and I always pay. Most guys I know do the same. I guess I just don’t see what you’re describing, or maybe the san fran area just has more class. Around here a guy that pulled first dates like you described would be shunned by guys and girls alike.

I’m not so into this. I completely understand your desire to go on dates again–that’s your personal decision and your right. But I’m not into the way you guilt men into paying for you, treating you like a “queen,” and making the first move (i.e. a goodnight kiss), and basically use every other ridiculously gendered cliche from the 14th century to try to generalize what it means to be a woman in this blog. I have paid for men many times on “real” dates, and at the very least pay my own way. I don’t know how you expect to call out male commentors for their sexism (i.e. calling you a stupid whore) when you yourself perpetuate the same notions of “chivalry” and strict gender roles that support the institution of patriarchy. If you expect your dates to act like “men,” they’re going to expect you to act like a woman, as you say in the last line of the post–a role which has often meant “owing” sex to a man. You really can’t have it any other way. So if those are your kinds of “dates,” I’ll pass. That’s just my thought on it.

Hey Almie,

Hope it’s easy enough to ignore these tiresome hosers. It’s depressing to see a few bitter men call you a “whore” here. If I were to guess, and I will: They could ultimately end up being the type of men who send in questions to Parade magazine. ["I loved Selena Gomez in Middle School Drivel Part 9! What is her nationality?"] but for now are content to scour Maxim articles on which body spray stings their balls the least. ["The new Axe Freedom-Hump I.E.D. Mist sounds like the SHIT, broham."]

There will always be a few morons in your readership who get a thrill out of bringing up fellatio as non-sequitur. And I hope they are in a basement playing Call of Duty or shopping online for the hippest jeans in existence, while you’re sipping a fizzy gin drink at a Camera Obscura show… That your paths may never cross.

Write on; you’re witty, funny, and have a kind soul. Your name is lovely.

Charlie

Hi “Jacks” —

I’m glad that you like my blog and find it funny!

Your comments about my name are entirely rude and unnecessary.

Thanks,

Almie
