When Less is More

Petulah, these stories reveal less about three young ladies blundering through relationships than it does about the inner madness of women, more particularly your inner madness.

Aye Zeigy, don't tar all women with your jacked-up brush ok?

We don't all think like paranoid conspiracy theorists and we don't all rifle through other people's stuff like second-rate hoodlums.

To the writer: B-1 all the way to B-infinity should dump all your characters because they are clueless, paranoid and useless and exhibit borderline criminal behaviour.

I'm tired of people like you making women look like s**t-stirring, cantankerous, desperate hoodrats. Also, enough with the wannabe-cool names - can your characters not be named anything vaguely prosaic like Mandy or Eva or Tricia? Sheesh!!!

I won't be around in any case to see what you do with this because the last whiff of any potential I thought this column may have had has just evaporated.

Yeah? Well maybe you should rifle through your boyfriend's stuff more. Why should you trust him? He's attracted to you because you're hot.

A shallow situation at best.

As long as I have no reason to distrust him Zeigy, I will trust him. If I get reason to distrust him, I will keep my eyes open, because he WILL make a mistake. When he does, I will not reveal my hand, but will talk to him and give him ample opportunity to be honest. If he lies, I will leave. Pretty simple.

I find that working on the basis that what I don't know won't hurt me, works for me. No need to look for heartache - if it is meant to find you, it will. Until then, enjoy the ride(s).

I have a huge problem with the sorts of girls who go through men's phones etc. They find evidence of him chatting to other women (big whoop *rolls eyes*), create a scene, nag, pout, deny him sex while strutting about in sexy lingerie (which is laughably counterproductive, especially if he is innocent).

They begin distrusting the guy, rifling through his laundry looking for hairs like demented CSI personnel, examine his glove compartment, check his car visor for make-up stains that are not in their colour, but STAY IN THE RELATIONSHIP - EVERY TIME.

Meanwhile, the guy who never harboured an unfaithful thought in the first place starts spending more time away from her, and may even decide to leave.

The winner? Always cell-phone girl, never the amateur Nancy Drew.

Well, I lie from the start of the relationship. Gets me through just fine cause it's bullshit women like to hear men talk.

Really, tell us more?

B3 was hiding his survival instinct. Back AWAY from the bunny boiler!

Tell you more? Uh uh. The things I know will send you mad. I understand now why men find it difficult to understand women, because once you do you wish you didn't.
