Romance really is dead.

Saturday, 2005 September 3 1:03 AM CDT — Siloam Springs, Arkansas UNITED STATES

I just realised something about my life that sucks.

I just got off of the phone with four of my best friends in the whole world, and they all happen to be women. Of course, at the university, when I get the question, “Who were you talking to?”, and they discover that they were all lady friends, I'm immediately dubed the pimp, and I'm congratulated as the Wolfeman in a manner similar to Norm walking into Cheers. Then, I have to go through the trouble to explain that it's not like that and that we're only friends and that I we're more like family. Then, it hits me across the head like an impliment designed for hitting someone across the head:

  1. I have many more female friends than male friends.
  2. I tend to be able to connect better to females than males.
  3. I see females as normal people to have deep meaningful relationships with and not as romantic objects.
  4. I realise that although it's great that I don't see women as romantic objects, men are supposed to have romantic relationships with women.
  5. My mindset is still one of romantic inactivity. I'm just not so enthuistiac when it comes to pursuing romantic relationships with someone even though I'm sitting here on my computer complaining about my lack of romance.

Well, life sucks, but, sometimes, life is what we make of it; we reap what we sow. So, I really have no right to complain, but that is what the rant bord is for. My suitemates haven't given up, and they're still determined to find a woman for the Wolfeman. That'll be great: I'll come out of a date with one more female friend that I don't have a romantic attraction towards.
