Talk about interesting; this thing is slowly turning into a blog. Iagg… let’s see how this goes. a couple of nights ago I met up with some friends after a cool night of food and jazz… they were on their own thing while I was on mine, but we decided to meet up and swap stories to seal the night. We were at a café talking, being loud and obnoxious like we usually are when suddenly the topic of ex-girlfriends came along… I don’t want to get into specifics, but let’s just say there’s a girl who’s hot enough to try to hook up with, and even though she could be certifiably insane and delusional she still has the stench of her ex-boyfriend and you could say we know the guy well enough to care.

Now, we just kid around with this but it sparked a more general discussion on the subject and there were pretty much 2 stances on the issue: The ones who wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole (I’ll call them Jedi-K and Method) and the ones who wouldn’t mind if she threw themselves at us (TSelleck and myself). I know why I wouldn’t: morally speaking it could be reprehensible in this society (I know this first-hand because I happen to be in this position a couple of times) but the way I see it is that they broke up. Period. She’s a girl, she’s got needs and SHE doesn’t seem to mind. Hell, get pissed, do whatever you wanna do to me. Hell, my policy is that I don’t prey on other friend’s girlfriends, but when they tell me they wanna fuck me then that kind of changes things a tad bit… suddenly, they’re hunting me. Time has passed (personally at least 9 months. That’s what I think now, anyway. Looks like that’s long enough for someone to get over another long enough for them to be able to move on without having to erase their former significant other from the face of their personal universe), looks like she’s gotten over you, looks like you’ve gotten over her. I’m not gonna parade her in front of you, and my capacity for being a friend is still the same… your Ex just wants to jump me. It’s not like no guy on Earth doesn’t want to jump the red tape and make things easy on themselves with a girl they like. Every guy wants that beautiful girlfriend that makes everyone in the room drop their jaws to the floor and when they break up (if they do, mind you) he suddenly wants her not to go out with another human being ever again because according to him he’s “the best thing that ever happened” to her. True or not, that’s not gonna keep her warm at night.
Now, I know what you’re thinking.

“It’s not the same if they did it to YOU, Rob! You ASSHOLE!”

I beg to differ. I have my own personal heartbreaker that’s done more damage than anybody you’ll ever get involved with (but that’s a story for another day) and I’ve seen it done to me first hand with friends, strangers, acquaintances… I managed to stop caring. She doesn’t care about me enough to hold herself from doing it… so why should I care for her? Let them enjoy. She sucks great head, I say. It all comes down this then, and we came to this conclusion last night as well, that it’s something that boils down to the individual. Everyone has their personal guidelines, and my personal guideline have and will make karma bite me in the ass someday and I’m alright with it. What’s done is done… personally, when it comes down to it I wouldn’t jump at the chance with this woman in particular for the sole reason that I can’t stand led-headed people. She seems to be insecure and not that all on top of her stuff… I avoid those people like the plague. On all other fronts, she’s great. I talk to her all the time.
So… conclusion? I might be an asshole, but I’m an asshole with rules. A righteous asshole, if you will. That said, I think i’m a great asshole. It’s FAN-tastic. I wanna pass this one over to you who are reading this: Would you do it? Wouldn’t you? How long would you wait? I want to know!
