I was riding in the car with my brother yesterday. We were listening to a cd, and I was telling him about the time I saw the band play in Vegas.
Me: "There was this Brazilian girl who was hitting on me that night."
Him: "Brazilian girls are hot. Why didn't you do anything?"
Me: "Well, at the time I was still going out with my ex-girlfriend."
Him: "Yeah, that worked out real well for you. See that's the problem, if you keep being faithful, you're going to miss out on a lot of opportunities."
He claims he was talking about being committed to a relationship that's clearly not working out. That I should have realized that mine wasn't a long time before that, and then I'd have been free to take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself.

Um, WTF?
Hey Minnow,
I am sure you can guess how I feel about this. I think that you were doing exactly what you are supposed to do when you are committed to someone. It does not matter if that relationship is not working at the moment or whether you feel like it is ok even if things are good. If you are in a relationship that is supposed to be exclusive, you remain exclusive. If you want to explore other options...back out of the relationship first. I only wish Yang had taken some lessons from you!

I guess I should have thought this one out a little more than I did. If I had, I probably wouldn't have posted it.
I agree with you Yin, I was doing the right thing because I was in a committed relationship. The fact that it didn't end up working out in the end doesn't change that at all. I've mentioned on here before that I hate it when people cheat. I've been cheated on, so I know how it feels, and I could never do that to someone I care about.
I just thought it was funny when my brother said that. Anybody who knows him knows that it's not the way he really believes, he was just giving me crap. Of course, those of you who don't know him have no way of knowing how funny it was (to me) that he said that.
Yes, absolutely...becuase the fact that you were in a relationships, however non-functional, was the one thing that kept you from doing anything about some chick that was hitting on you. Is "nativeminnow" a synonym for delusional?
Anonymous isn't making sense in his/her blogs...why is nativeminnow delusional???
What Yin wrote is what I meant...when the relationship wasn't working out, maybe Native Minnow should have gotten out of the relationship and pursued other avenues.
Hey,
I hope you did not think I was being mean. I was just trying to say that I thought it was a GOOD thing you didn't do anything back then, and that I admire you for sticking to your beliefs. I did not think your bro was being stupid or thoughtless or anything like that. I guess I just get a little defensive on that subject. Sorry.

No worries Yin. I knew where you were coming from, I just wasn't sure if everyone else knew where I was coming from.
As to anonymous' post: I think nativeminnow might be a synonym for delirious. I don't know who you are, but you obviously know me well enough to know that I'm retarded when it comes to women, and I would have been too chicken to make a move even if I would have been single.
Anonymous - nativeminnow is delusional becuase even if he had no gf, no committments, and nothing to lose, he would not have taken "advantage of the opportunity that presented itself." The original blog entry is based on a busted premise.
He could have called me on the phone and learned some great Portuguese pick-up lines...If that doesn't instill confidence, what does? :) (If the opportunity presents itself again, you will know what to do this time) :)
I couldn't agree with Alpha more...you need to increase the quality standards for your women! No more young, immature, dumb girls. Alpha, see what you can do, and make it a woman, not a girl this time!
I couldn't agree with Anonymous more...hook up with an older chick like I did...They have money... :)
I guess I should remind you all that I am actually still friends with my ex-girlfriend, so I don't like to see people taking shots at her. She may be young and a little unsure about what exactly she wants out of life, but is not immature and certainly is not dumb. If not for the distance, we would probably still be together.
I just felt like I needed to say something in her defense. Having said that, you're probably right. I probably should see women that are closer to me in age. And from where I'm standing, the richer the better ;-)
