Climbing in Skirts

I warn you now that I am in a post Slut-o-ween slump. Meg's man dared to ask why I was all slutted up at the party last night. He asked if I had planned on going home with anyone. I looked around and said that he and Meg were my only candidates for the evening. I basically slutted up the Halloween outfit for my own self. To prove that I still had it (and to remind me that the elliptical machine is my friend).

Anyways, this is not about Slut-o-ween. It's about the recent observation about guys (I refuse to call them boys or men) my age and older. They seem to be serial dating/f-ing nothing but these barely twentysomethings. From now on we shall call them Twinkies. This was a name that was formerly reserved for my friend Duc who was fighting off his inner asian but it makes more sense in this arena.


Why Twinkies? Let's look to the Wikipedia...
Let's see, they are JUNK FOOD. Food of no nutritional value (aka not so good for your health). They seemed good at the time but in the long run you should have chosen something else. Twinkies may be junk food but they aren't going away anytime soon, they have a long shelf life. Loaded with preservatives, they could have the potential to mess up your plans for a one night stand.

So why do I care about the choices that these guys are making? First I made it about me. Why are they going after the damn snack cakes when they could have something more substantial, more decadent, like chocolate cake, made with real ingredients? (Ok, That made me laugh to even type it out). I got over that quick. I cared because they decided to air their dirty laundry and complain about said Twinkies. There are only so many conversations that I can take on this topic now that I am 30.

Then I recalled the Twinkie Defense... The excuse of a murderer but it works well in this story. The fall of the relationship could never be their fault. Because these guys have chosen something that was obviously a bad idea they couldn't be blamed for fouling up a relationship.

Eventually these guys will come to their senses. Afterall they have moved up from beer to decent wine. In time their emotional palate will mature.
