So it may have been a while since I last posted (2 months and 2 days), but I have good excuses. Like being a good, hardworking, dedicated student who studies a lot. Ok, so I just forgot because I'm a terrible student. But if anyone who cares asks I study a lot. Any way, today's/this post's topic is about somethings called Man Law, also referred to as the Guy Code. Women have a similar system, but it doesn't count because they all break the rules and besides, they were made by women (it's just a joke ladies, we don't follow your rules either). The Man Law is just a common sense set of rules that you need not be told, because you should know not to do certain things to your fellow man. One in particular applies to interactions with the opposite sex.
A no doubt, clear as day man law is that you do NOT go after the same girl as one of your friends, or acquaintances for that matter. If you know the guy, and you know he likes this girl, you steer clear. If you don't know he likes her, then you're fine and he can't be mad. But if you know and still go after her, well then you are a terrible friend and a douche. It doesn't matter if you think you are a better match, a better person, or you know he is going to be rejected. You just don't do it. Period. Now if you really like the girl, it is acceptable to confront the other man about it and talk it over a head of time. Apologizing after the fact is just you trying to save face, and it is even more pathetic to only say you feel sorry to one of her friends. Now a lot of you may have figured out that someone I know did this to me. Congratulations! Do you want a cookie? WELL TOUGH LUCK! I ate them all so you just win pride. As you can tell by my humor,, I have moved on, but the villain here still thinks I'm mad at him and want to kick his ass so shhhhhh. Don't tell him, that will just ruin my fun.
The real reason why he is now hated by our group of friends is he has a past history of similar situations. Even if you aren't going after a friend's interest, it is still against Man Law to try and hang out with her as much as possible. Especially if while you hang out with her, you make fun of your friend and try to influence her thoughts of your boy. Even if in good heart, it rarely helps and usually worsens the situations. Under NO circumstances is intentionally cock-blocking allowed either. That's just low man. Because when it comes down to it, no man should be allowed any say in another man's love life. Besides the girl's father, of course, because he probably has a shotgun.
So the moral of this rant is simple, don't interfere in a fellow man's quest to find true love, or the tomb of the womb. Which ever he's after. Hopefully love if he's trying that hard. And if you are on the same quest, talk it over as soon as you realize it so you don't lose what's most important. Your friendship, that is. So when it comes down to it, just know, understand, and follow man law. Now I've got to get back to my "studies," even if I'm just studying defenses on Madden. Peace out girl scout -JV
