Had an interesting chat wif a very interesting guy last nite. Or, he had an unusually interesting occupation, that captures the attention of all women.

J is in pharmaceutical sales - for contraceptives, specifically, birth control pills.

For the first half hour, my lady fren, Jo was totally attentive & takin in his every word about the menstrual cycle, bustin the myths of birth control pills, & comparing the benefits/costs of the different brands of birth control pills. Even better, J attempted to get the contacts of Jo on the pretext of offerin her free samples & askin her if she minds doin an interview after the trial. Ingenious!

Most unfortunately, the first half of the evening was ruined by someone else, who was desperately flirtin wif J, maybe she needs birth control pills badly.

So now, I truly believe that being in the birth control industry is possibly the dream jobs for guys.

 First, it's a great pick-up line & it keeps the initial conversations flowing. Second, ALL of ur customers are women, who haf yet to reach menopause & more likely to be young (hopefully beautiful too). Last, birth control pills are intimate details of a woman's life & u will be scoring mad-crazy brownie points for such an intimate discussion, leavin behind a damn well impression on the ladies!

Any other dream jobs out there which gives guys a natural advantage when it comes to flirting?

 

Do u think it's ever justifiable to cheat, repeatedly on ur S.O?

Had lunch wif an old friend yesterday, & I've always know that he's been sleepin around, with random females, while his gf is away in another country. He claims that he loves her & he's never gotten serious with his sleepin partners, so why the need to cheat?

From the horse's mouth, he said it's probably because he's unhappy with the relationship, despite lovin her. From the way he treats her, I guess it's fair to say that he's playin the part of a boyfriend very well, when she's in town. The gf, being an air stewardess, probably isn't in town much to begin with, but when she is, he spends all his time with her, & possibly all his $$$, from Tiffany to Loewe. 

Apparently, the reason for the unhappiness this promiscuous friend is experiencing, is that his gf has anger management issues & she over-reacts over the slightest stuff, such as a random driver 'cuttin' into her lane while drivin will get her into a bad mood for the entire day. The gf gets physical with him during quarrels & is rude to his mum. The only reason I can think of, that my friend is tolerating all this, is love. As he puts it, sleepin around 'diverts' his energy from the problem to something happier & more satisfying.

So I asked, will he marry her, if she gets over her anger management issues - he promptly replied yes. Dumb me, conveniently forgot to ask if he will stay committed in the marriage, but I will assume that he will. Else, why get married & share half of ur assets? Do u think he's committed, obliged or just confused?

I can only pray & hope that he is able to persuade his gf to seek professional treatment, cos it seems that her mum suffers from the same condition - blowin a wild tantrum over small issues, followed by feelings of depression, such as cryin for hours non-stop after that.

Of course, my promiscuous friends needs to seek treatment too - he's been cheatin on his gf for the past 5 years. Somehow, I have this naggy feelin that his gf is lesser of the problem, & his condition if probably more difficult to treat. In the weirdest sense, the two of them deserve each other.

Answerin my own question, nope, it's never justifiable to cheat on ur S.O, no matter what u say. If u wanna cheat, own up to it. If there's a deep-seated problem in ur relationship, face it & not run away from it by creatin diversions.

Somehow, I feel that I wasted my friend's beautiful Sunday afternoon, when he could have been gettin laid instead of receivin 'advice' from this unlicensed counsellor.
