For the majority of my dating life, I consistently pursued relationships with men that I could foresee tragic, horrifying endings. What’s that all about?
Sometimes I would say things like…’well, if we make it past the holidays’ (knowing that he had a wandering eye) OR ‘he just has issues’.
Me = TOOL
Who knowingly repeatedly dates a-holes who are 110% guaranteed to:
- Make you feel like you’re fat/dumb/not good enough
- Will cheat on you at ANY opportunity
Who does this? ME…and every other girl who has an a-hole fetish to hide the fact that they themselves aren’t ready to commit. Because you can’t have a future with someone who doesn’t really like you.
Seriously, my entire life anytime a decent dude would be interested in me I’d say things like ‘he’s too nice, I don’t want to hurt him’.
Idiot.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve been walking around abusing myself by dating self-righteous-narcissistic-weenies, running from every great opportunity that was presented. And instead of being with men who would tell me how great/pretty/smart I am, I’d be with dudes who would say:
‘You have a decent frame…but you need to work out’
OR ‘Jen’s not the brightest’
OR ‘You need to be take Dexedrine so you’ll be more efficient/skinny’
WTF!
Really though, they were right…I wasn’t the brightest. I was wasting my time with losers and as we all know: Time is money.
Anyway I’ve learned from my many, many, many mistakes and recommend that all women learn from their own past mistakes otherwise once again YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME and causing yourself unnecessary pain from all those tragic endings.
So ladies, the next time a nice guy comes along… keep him. Keep him as long as you can!

LilyI hate hate hate that pic of the happy bride and sad groom. Friends of mine had their bridal party wear it to their Buck and Doe and it really upset me. Seriously…it may be game over…but both partyies should be happy about it!

JUh, if some guy I was dating even *hinted* that I needed to take diet pills, I would knee him in the balls repeatedly.
But I DID date a douche who told me I put on make-up wrong.
WTF.

Fight or Flight – The fear of good relationships[…] time in my life, I was spending my energy on a man who was decent and who I couldn’t see the ending of our relationship and it freaked me out. A number of things ran through my head: the first one was that I should end […]
