Relationship damage control

The most damage that can be caused to any one man's relationship with his girl is her girlfriends. I know this because I have girlfriends with boyfriends and this weekend showed me just how powerful my measly opinion is. The girlfriends girlfriend doesn't even have to not like the boyfriend. In my case, it became slightly apparent that my girlfriend needed a more suited boyfriend. After telling her this via a multiple text message conversation sent in a marginally drunken stupor post dinner and drinks with said couple, I am reaping what I have sowed. I feel guilty. I'd never set out to intentionally break-up a gal pal's relationship. To each their own, even if my friend's prefer complete unhygienic primates. But in the inebriated state I was in, my true feelings for her less-than-par man we're revealed. It wasn't a male-bashing extravaganza, more of a you're-such-a-cool-person-wouldn't-it-be-nice-if-you-dated-someone-just-as-cool extravaganza. After my fury of texts, I was pretty sure I had permenantly disinvited my boyfriend and myself from all future outings with the two. Fortunately, that is not so. I think I have just piqued my friend's interest in how, pray-tell, do I think she could attain such a befitting male-speciman. (In Seattle, I don't know. I had to import my fantastic male from CT.) Never thought my ranting about how lame and unfunloving of a dude she's attached to would amount to anything. Now that I unleashed this can-o-relationship-destroying-worms, I can't, in good concious continue my thought train for her. I will not be responsible for whispering in her ear the wonders of a great guy. Or instigating unhappiness within her present coupledness. Although, I do still stand by my previous ramblings.

On the same subject of a man's way of doing irreversible damage to his relationship, the worst would be to let the true dick-male colors be revealed and unleashed onto girlfriends friend. Oooo, man. That gossip of mistreating her friend would spread like wildfire and her pack would rally to find her a more respectful and goodlooking man. A boyfriend could anticipate exile in the short future.

I think girls got it pretty easy. At least, more black and white. As long as you are decent human being that isn't a friggen weird stalker chick, a man's friends will leave a buddy's girl alone. I guess a girl could always date a man with barbarians as friends, set on conquesting three quarters of the female gender, and insisting on his participation. But then obviously that girl's got the equivalent of peanuts above her neck and probably needs the wake up call. That being said, unless she's a Leper, she's got girlfriends already telling her how unworthy her beast is. Ahhh, the mystery of relationships. It's a wonder marriage is alive and kicking.
