Reason 839 Boys Suck

Back in the day, I would actually chat on AOL and meet people (i.e., guys) that way. Then I was cured of that little activity by a particular guy. He said he was single, so I talked to him in a way different than I would talk to a married/involved guy. Well, a year or so later, turns out he had a girlfriend the whole time. I got over it and still talked to him, but in the way I talk to married/involved guys. He kept talking to me in what I felt was an inappropriate way...not all the time, but he'd lapse.

Like when I thought I'd met someone really great, and he acted all hurt and told me he always thought I'd end up with him. (How can I end up with you?! You have a girlfriend and no interest in breaking up with her, not that I asked you to do that, but shut up with your f'ing mindgames and let me be happy, a'hole.)

Anyway, eventually you get sick of the mindgames and move on with life. But boys like to resurface now and then...like when they hear songs on the radio that remind them of you. Then they have to let you know about it. So you can have more mindgame fun when you hear it on the radio and almost start crying before thinking to yourself, "He's a manipulative a'hole you dropped almost two years ago and why are you thinking about crying over that mess of a human being?!"

So boys suck. Even the older ones.

Not just for the mindgames, but for making you associate songs with them. Can't hear it without the trip down memory lane. Melissa Etheridge's "The Only One" is still tied to someone I would have forgotten otherwise. But he bought the CD for me, and pops up in my memory for at least a moment every time I hear the song.
