The Goddess Hypocrisy

I was very recently given a lecture on the particular kind of women I go for by a female friend I used to have strong feelings for. After, I felt quite troubled, but as I thought about it more and more, I started getting upset, even angry.

Now, essentially, her complaint is that I should "reach for the goddesses, instead of the women who are almost sure to hurt me. She's tired of me getting hurt, and won't be a part of it any longer...

..until I realised, in a moment of troubling clarity, that I've been reaching for the goddesses my whole life, and that they have hurt me more over the years than any of my tattooed little gum-chewing freaks every could or possibly would.

Yeah, some are young, some aren't...but all I know is, even for a moment, they pose real interest, they see something they like...which is more than any of your so-called "goddesses" ever have.

I'm not bitter, I'm just being realistic...years of being good, but not good enough, does leave you feel used. I wish I was alone in this! Hands up, all the people who feel like this!

I'm sick and tired of the fact that the people who tell you that you can do better are exactly the ones who don't pose any interest. Take a look around...the world is a much colder place than you realise.

So, the next time someone tells me I can do better, rephrase the statement and tell me, honestly:

"You can do better...but not better than me."
