there can only be one

I am a tactical observer of life. I know this to be true. I am always watching and evaluating, trying to piece together seemingly random occurences into my own postulations and eventually arriving at some pseudo-science sociological theory of behavior patterns. And I've come to one theory recently that I believe to be fairly accurate. And that is this; that girls at parties predominantly attended by gay men do not like to interact with one another. Now, one would assume that these girls WOULD hang out with one another because people often search out those that they often immediately identify with, in order to faciliate a modicum of comfortability. But I have noticed that this isn't the case, girls at such parties seem more like competing carnivores circling a herd of prey than a band of brethern (sisteren?). They mostly ignore one another while marking their territory, claiming rights to their friend groups. It's fierce and competitive this staking of hag-domain. I would almost daresay that it's even more competitive than girls seeking a lover. Because, well let's face it, in the world of relationships in the city, a gay man-straight girl combo has way more staying power.

Hi Lisa:)

Greetings:)

You have propounded a new theory that gay man- straight girl relationship is likely to last. I hope so.

I am at a loss to understand that couples living together for many years, having children and getting married after making sure they are compatible , finally end in divorce.

I suppose understanding, cooperation, adjustment to each other, supporting and helping will go a long way in preserving a marriage.

Your new theory might work.

Have a nice day Lisa:)

AB-I don't think it's terribly cynical. I don't think there aren't good relationships out there already and good ones to be found. I'm just saying they're a bit harder to maintain. I always have you to look towards for some hope though :)
