Ah, young love.....

Raging hormones to ensure the survival of the species. So romantic. Um, ya.

Man: I want to propagate my genes as much as possible.
Woman: I want to propagate my genes, but I can only do it a couple of kids at a time, so I need someone to help me out here for a while.

Megan, the best thing about men is they're so transparent. Trust your instincts. I hope your sister learns to trust hers too.

If you think it's work, you're doing it wrong.

Men are actually simple enough. The trick is to realize that they do not want what they claim to want.

A: Men claim to want an intelligent woman. Neep! Men want a woman who is intelligent in such a way as to make them feel intelligent.

B: Men will claim to want a woman who is open about sex. Meaning "willing". However, this is also false. They want a woman who is restrained enough to be seduced in such a way as to make them feel that she is both worth the effort* and in order to make them feel "studly".

C: The best way to deal with them is to treat them like dirt. Never return calls, expect to come first re:priorities, and never, ever, sleep with them first thing.

D: Don't expect ANYTHING to make sense.

Believe me, I refuse to follow these rules and I know the consequences of breaking them.

*Xev yawns*

I'll explain women tomorrow. Women are a bit trickier.

*Familiarity breeds contempt, ja?

Uh Snake, Megan left out a teeny bit of information. The girl Nick was cheating with is 13.

I don't think that's important to the situation but......
Is he retarded? Or maybe he has other devious things on his mind. And he could be arrested. Where are the girls parents? What 19 year old could be interested in a 13 year old? Perhaps he's not the guy for Megans friend. Duh!
If she continues to want or wait for him, it's her problem. She will learn a big lesson. No one can tell her until she sees for herself. You can point out facts to a person but if they don't listen, I'd be outa there. Give it up. You aren't the protector of the world.

You're over complicating men. We're really just big ol' babies, but we like to think we're adults. Treat us accordingly.

In that vein...

A:If you lay him right the first time, you can walk all over him for the rest of your life.

Umm, here in Michigan, the age of consent is 16. I don't know where Megan's friend lives, but that constitutes statutory rape in all states of the union (lowest age of consent is 14).




I thought the age of consent was the age you could get married without your parents' permission. You can elope when your 14 or 16, but nookie is right out. Most states you must be at least 18 to have sex. Unless you're in the South, then you must also be married.

Age(s) of consent usually refer (legally) to the age a minor must be to (legally) have sex with a 21-year-old.

Unfair! Do you know how hard it is for most folks down here to find someone of the opposite sex who's not in the same branch of the family tree?

Now, onto love. Xev wonders if she has ever truely felt this interesting emotion. She has, however, no doubt that it exists.

In any case, it has certainly never been reciprocated.

Hmmm... Perhaps I'm detecting a cause-effect thingy here.

Yea. Stoopid, inbreedin' Southerner...hey! Wait a minute!

I'm Southern by birth and by choice. I'm way too smart to live in that over populated, over polluted, over priced, over neurotic, over pretentious loony bin of a city you call New York.
