VanillaSkyGirl 6 #28 July 21, 2004 I know that this thread is supposed to be light-hearted, but it seems childish to me. Personally, I don't spend time thinking about men whom I am not interested in or whom I don't like. If I like or love a man as a friend or more, then I accept him and his so-called "flaws". I don't have pet peeves about these men because I love and respect them (my male family members, friends and BF) so much. Sometimes the little "flaws" and funny quirks that someone has can become something that someday makes you smile (or even laugh) when thinking of that person.

The biggest pet peeve I have right now is that, when you talk to a guy you've been intimate with in the past...ex-bf, friend w/benefits,fling,whatever you want to call it... he all of a sudden starts talking about sex. He'll either manipulate the conversation to turn it into something sexual or blatently change the current unrelated topic or (what pisses me off even worse) he'll call/come over and start talking to you for no other reason than to talk about sex. I dont mean in a flirty way either. Example him: "hey how're you doing?" me: "good just doing some school stuff.you?" him:" I'm good. damn I'm horny..."[explicit details following] WTF?!? Yes sex is a big topic on alot of guys' minds, I understand that.But give me a break,there ARE other things in life (like skydiving lol) that you can talk about. Yes I know we've had sex in the past (remember I was there afterall) but that doesnt mean that it will ever happen again nor does it give him the right to keep bringing it up like I owe it to him to talk about it just b/c we have a sexual history together. If sex is literally the only thing you can have a conversation about then don't talk to me.Either grow up or call a 900 number and stop bugging me. *stepping off soapbox* ok rant over..sorry.Carry on.
