She Keeps Sucking The Life Out of Me

[John V]

Still an issue of birds and feathers, if I had to guess.

Your guess is wrong. I'm speaking mostly of men I've worked with, not guys from my church. The guys from church generally don't talk about their sex lives with each other.

That's good, it would suck to be stuck in a loveless marriage.

You would know, strip-club boy. You're not going out for lap dances because you're so deeply in love with your wife.

The method, however, that you've proposed to achieve this..... sounds like something a kid would dream up. Gotta stay away from the candy jar cause you just can't trust yourself?

Avoiding temptation is not a childish tactic. Most people giving advice on dieting would advise keeping junk food out of the house as much as possible. It's a common and prudent practice.

I'm conflicted

Yes, you're conflicted as you know I'm mostly right, but now you're in a hole and don't want to quit or admit that you're wrong.

- normally I like to lift people up out of the mud that our gender stereotypes and cultural ticks have imposed....

So you admit that my views are common.

but with you...I kind of want to accept that you're just a shitty person, deep down

Exactly. You want to think poorly of me, so you argue against some pretty common advice.

- and that the shitty things you say about yourself (and then hilariously extend to others) might actually be true....in your specific case.

You contradict yourself. If my views are incorrect, they wouldn't have become stereotypes and "cultural ticks."

Meh, fuck it, you win. You're a divorce proceeding waiting to happen. Your wife doesn't trust you at strip clubs because you don't trust yourself, and shouldn't...because you can't be trusted. Given too much opportunity you'd invariably end up snorting coke off some hookers tits and getting blown in the alley behind the dumpster. Happy?

Even if your last statement is true, it's incorrect to conclude that I'm headed toward divorce, as I wisely avoid getting too much opportunity.
