My apologies...

Dear Lonely Hearts,

I am DEEPLY sorry for my absence from this blog thus far. I'll have you have you know that the pressures of schoolwork and life in general have kept me away from sharing with you my portion of anti-relationship wisdom. However, I would like to thank Penny a MILLION times over for her witty and wise words, not to mention the many fabulous quotes she has left. How inspiring.
Alright, time to get down to business. Ladies, I couldn't agree more with Penny about douchebags and their overwhelming ability to suck us in. Therefore, I'd like to add one more gem of information: these class-acts will simply NEVER change. Sure, they could mature over time and occasionally display gentleman-like acts, but you know deep down inside that they're still the same. Example? Sure. I'm not going to play the name game here, so we'll give this exemplar of a man the title of: "The Roommate's Brother". I can't tell you how many times his cocky attitude has made me want to throw up (all over him, preferably). Let me give you a couple choice quotes that have once escaped his insensitive, disgusting mouth:

1) "I feel like I'm only known for those I make out with. Like, random girls will come up to me and be like 'Didn't you make out with my friend that one time?'"
2) After being asked why he continues to hang out with a particular girl, he says "A mouth is a mouth!"

I'll stop there. Basically, I just want to know why statements like these would EVER be considered acceptable, especially when you're saying them in front of a girl (myself) that you don't even know very well!  How does that make you come across? Like a DOUCHE, that's how! Even though "The Roommate's Brother" and I still hang out to this day (as friends, mind you), I'm no longer afraid to call him out on his ridiculous behavior. Ladies, please follow suit and put these men in their places! It can only help, right?

Good luck to you all,
Tracy
