"In a lot of the chick lit, depicting women slightly older than me, the sexual maturity is that of a nine-year-old, maybe. The sex is just this giggly and ridiculous activity one is subjected to in order to make a man stay in your house and marry you. There’s no honest expression of female sexual desire, the kind you find even in those old cheesy feminist manuals like Our Bodies, Ourselves. We’ve gone backwards."

I actually talked to the guy [who seemed like he was going after my girlfriend] in person finally (we get along great, strangely), and he’s told me that he’s stopped talking to her altogether now. He admitted to me that he had a crush on her, and he didn’t want to get in the way or cause a disturbance. We later smoked weed and played some MTG.

The funny thing is, one day my girlfriend starts venting to me about how he’s immature cause he isn’t texting her, and I blew up in her face, telling her that he has a great sense of honor and respect for other people. And I bitched how, for her to not see that, she is pretty blind. She started crying but she apologized and we had really good makeup sex.

Things are better now. When she leaves for work tonight, I’m gonna go back to his house and chill with him.

“My ex broke up with me about six months ago. She lived in Germany, I lived in New York, so it didn’t work out. She did it over Skype. Fucking Skype!”

“I hooked up behind a bar, a couple of girls’ bathrooms out in bars, with the manager of the place I used to work at back in college. I used to get a little crazy back in my younger days. Not that I’m that old now, ladies!”
