FRIENDZ: WHO NEEDS THEM?

I had a bout of melancholy, as I was reflecting on events of recent days. I had a chance to hang with some mature well adjusted women, THREE DAYS IN A ROW! It was a great experience for me to be surrounded by creative self assured women, exchanging ideas, breaking bread and soaking up culture.

When I started writing this article on Tuesday morning, my intent was to write a nice blog about all of the positive aspects of having platonic relationship and the evolution of those types of relationships. Most men, of a certain age, understand that being "friends" with women is fraught with challenges for the most well adjusted men.

I'm sorry that I didn't finish writing this blog when I was still immersed in the afterglow of those experiences. It's Thursday and I had a pretty fucked up day today cause I was hangin with someone with whom I entrusted something more important than friendship: my fragile libido!

The balance between having a friendship and good sex with a female seems to be incompatable with long term success. And as rewarding as platonic relationships may be, I'd still like to bone a few of my juicy gal pals! Am I wrong for that?

Well then I'm just gonna have to be wrong. It's Mister Wiggles fault! He's a one eyed demon without patience or guilt. And time and experience have taught me that you can be a "friend" on Monday and transition into a "lover", less than a week later, because of the fickled nature of relationships, in this 21st Century! Peace out.

Post Script -- I wrote this article about twelve monts ago. Since that time, the most important of the three platonic friends bugged out on me in a major way. Although I have my suspicions as to why she bugged out on me (one of her crew was hatin on me and at some point it became very obvious), it caught me by surprize because it happened at a point when I thought she and I were having our best relationship. It confirms my belief that it's almost impossible for men and women to be platonic friends. One of the two of you will almost always have a hidden agenda that prevents the relationship from being mutually rewarding! And it reinforces the fact that many of us behave like crabs in a barrel perpetually bemoaning the successes of others!
