So I guess that in my hurry to find out what y’all think of these things I read I neglected to share that Love in the Time of Darwinism article with my best friend. I mentioned it over the weekend, finally remembered to send it to her, and here’s a bit of her response:

Jesus, that makes me want to kick all the “PUA” men in the balls until they lose consciousness. Sounds like what they’re really upset about is they were treated like women. Not to mention, if a woman shamelessly dumps you for a richer man, maybe it’s your taste in women that’s the problem. These guys all want to fuck the unicorn and feel actually put out when her vagina isn’t a public bicycle. [And they] think that one day, after they’ve fucked as many women as possible and now they’re ready for marriage, there is going to be some amazing woman waiting for them? Good luck with that.

She’s an angry girl, but I love her.

Except for a couple of weeks in September it’s usually just too damn foggy and chilly for gals to show much skin here in SF.

As for the “women outnumber men on campus so that leads to hook ups” thing: I read with amusement the stories over the past few years when some one will tutt-tutt about this new thing called “hook ups”. What utter and complete nonsense. 20 years ago I attended a college that was over 60% male and there wasn’t any shortage of hook ups. And we even used that term waaaaay back then, too.

Cindy, I was going to say the same. Catches through and through.

Can I just say that y’all make me so happy for seeing through my attempt at some philosophical argument and just offering, like, hugs through clusterflock?

Kelsey. Amanda Mae. I hope you don’t mind my coming in like a mother or something, but I need you to know this: Amazing women like the two of you will find amazing love. I would bet my impending retirement (and you know how fond I am of my impending retirement) on each of you finding the kind of love you deserve.

Being out in the desert calms what fears I might have about dying and/or being alone.

But this is not very romantic. Except if you dig chicks who think about death.

Michael, that sudden anxiety that when I died there would be nothing but that I would somehow be aware of the nothingness is one of the thoughts that has stayed my hand from suicide on those few occasions when it has seemed more than a self-pitying fantasy.

Well I imagine someday being married to someone who doesn’t think it’s weird when I make up entirely new lyrics to every song

Alicia finds it odd when I do this. But I usually only make up lyrics to over played pop songs that I have no respect for (and the made up lyrics do include swearing but not usually lesbian sex acts).

Sheila, what your friend says brings back this nagging fear I had about death a few years ago. At night, usually, I would be struck with a sudden anxiety that when I died there would be nothing but that I would somehow be aware of the nothingness.

After several months I came to the sudden realization that if there was nothing I wouldn’t notice. And that was somehow comforting.

the only entitlement I claim is “American girls want everything in the whole wide world they can possibly imagine.”

Well I imagine someday being married to someone who doesn’t think it’s weird when I make up entirely new lyrics to every song that are half swearing/half lesbian-centered sex acts. Also I would like to respect him tremendously for other reasons too.

And maybe if he would let me name a son Llewellyn, that’d be nice.
