Was there a national angry young women’s conference somewhere a few weeks/months ago? Everyone is getting dumped! Justin is all broken up about his recent girlfriend and their falling out. Ironically this happened a few weeks ago and Beverly was giving him “relationship advise” at the time. I feel pretty bad for him as I know the pain myself all too well. The same things he is saying like “I’m (insert age here) and I’m tired of having this keep happening” have come out of my mouth and into others’ ears lately as well. My designer at work got dumped last week by his girlfriend of two years. Who is next? Maybe it will stop at that – bad things always come in threes, right?

These guys are so much younger than me though, when does this nonsense end? Do young men have to go through a decade or so of breakups in todays world to find someone? Or do young women just want to play around until they are 30 – and all of us (nice) guys just have to put up with it until that magic age hits and their biological clocks start giving them a headache?

A truly bizarre situation occurred last night when Justin and I tried to see Batman (I’ll explain why I said “tried” in a moment). We bought tickets and got in line a full half hour before showtime (keep in mind this is a Monday night). Immediately two teenage girls turned around and started (what in high school passes for) flirting with us. I tore them down. “Do you like my shoes?” “No, they are ugly” “do you like my skirt” “Ugly” “You’re mean!” “I’m honest.” I guess the “me me me” mentality in a lot of women starts early. I got a weird kick out of shutting down these insufferable spoiled little brats. It just made Justin feel worse somehow, probably because his ex was a little (actually a lot) closer in age to these girls than mine.

Anyway, the rent-a-cops decided to move the line outside since it was blocking an exit, as we walked outside Justin spotted a friend from school closer to the beginning of the line and we cut in with them. We were glad to both get away from those teenagers and also hopefully get better seats once inside. Our hopes were dashed however, when we got inside and saw there were no seats left but the seats next to the walls. Defeated we hung our heads, walked downstairs, got our refunds and headed home.
