Now that a certain someone has reminded me what it’s like to be treated like I’m completely unimportant, it’s no wonder that this postcard is my favorite out of this week’s Post Secrets.
Men, if you want a girl to fall out of love with you very, very quickly, neglect her. Be sure to only call her when you’re returning her call, if that. Wait 3-5 days before answering her email, if you ever do. Make sure the email you finally send contains 1-2 short thoughts because she’s not even worth complete sentences. Make sure you NEVER pay attention to her on weekends, because that time is too valuable to be wasted on her.
But after treating her like this, don’t be surprised if she refuses to come over at the 11th hour when you’re horny.

Hey, I’m a dude, and I usually find myself on the “neglected-no-call-back” end of things. Actually, I’ve often found that the MORE attentive I am, the more I’m treated like a complete tool by the women in my life. What’s up with that? Sorry, but many of you ladies force nice guys like me to act exactly like what you say you can’t tolerate. Really, every time I’ve put that heart out there, it’s been punted straight through the goal posts of life. Don’t get me wrong, Yo Yo Boy sounds like a total jerk, but I bet there’s a lot of other guys like me–decent men who have been kicked in the teeth one time too many. As a man, there’s nothing more humiliating than having your devotion thrown back at you like it’s meaningless trash. Sorry, just had to chime in with my testosterone POV.
Well Frank, I’d like to see what kind of girls you’re going for. Girls who treat men like shit are often those model-pretty types, and they do it because they’ve always been pretty and have been raised to be full of themselves.
If I kept going for only the physically attractive men, I bet I’d find a higher percentage of assholitude amongst that population than I would among a population of average nice guys (who by the way I can’t even get to look at me - they all want models).
Yeah, you may have a point there about the women I’ve gone for–wife #1 was a cheerleader and wife #2 actually WAS a model. Doh! I have learned that women who got ponies and/or sports cars as presents on their birthdays should be avoided like the plague. Their daddies spoiled them rotten and I paid the price!
Actually, the woman I’m seeing now treats me very well, but I still have a big chip on my shoulder from the two divorces and other flop relationships. I was drinking yesterday and that always brings out the bitter memories. Sorry.
BTW, I think assholitude among men is spread pretty evenly between us all; average, attractive and all points in between, so you’ve got a bit more of a challenge sorting the assholes out, unfortunately.
