spooning is good.

Good things about being in a relationship:  spooning on demand, consistent humping, having a teammate for Trivial Pursuit (and other various team oriented board/parlor games), not listening to people suggest internet dating when you aren’t even complaining about being single and being told you’re not fat.  Bad things about being in a relationship: morphing into a psycho.

The best way to avoid psycho metamorphosing is to have a really honest guy friend who will tell it like it is as opposed to telling it like you want to hear it.  He should also be a good advice giver.  For example, during my last relationship I got really mad at my gay boyfriend.  It was justified because he was being a douche and also because he was being gay.  This doucheness situation needed to be resolved, but history has shown when handled incorrectly doucheness levels can increase ten fold to twenty-five fold depending on the situation.  I certainly didn’t want a doucheness factor increase so I asked The Fonz how to handle the situation.  He advised, “speak in a matter of fact way in 5 sentences or less exactly how men would speak to one another” I never knew this was possible for a girl brain, but gave it a shot and you know what?  There was no fight and I got exactly what I wanted coupled with an apology even!  Then later that night The Fonz asked me to tell his girlfriend the story…she just rolled her eyes!  Anyhow, It seems most people prefer to be “right” than they prefer to have a situation resolved, so something as lame as deciding which movie to watch turns into WWIII which is another bad thing about being in a relationship, movie compromising.
