A or B?

With my papers over last Wednesday, I managed to catch up with many different groups of friends over the past few days. And invariably, as with all friends, we will gossip about how whoever's doing, his paycheck, her firm, his faculty, her grades etc. Of course, the juiciest bits are usually 'so and so are attached, so and so broke up.'

And so.. here are 2 separate stories about the juicy stuff! Identities are not disclosed for confidential purposes. If you know, you know.

1) A guy broke up with his girlfriend of 3 years just because he wanted a break to see if they are really meant for each other, when in actual fact, he's interested in another girl and might have been jio-ing her le, when he has not totally made a clean break with his girlfriend.

2) A certain person sent presents and a card to a female colleague on job, asking if he can know her better, when he is bloody attached with his girlfriend. That same female colleague is also receiving unwanted advances from another guy who just knows her on msn, but at the same time, is also attached.

Guys, any explanations for this absurd behaviour? This is a totally ridiculous situation! Many times there are numerous promises made in a relationship, and of course broken promises aplenty too. Well that is understandable to a certain extent, but this?! Its betrayal, adultry, torture, mental extortion all rounded into one! If any one of you guys are my friend, you had better not let me hear wind of it. As per my previous post on the punching incident, right now I wouldn't hesitate to give you a right hook if you so darn need some wakeup call.

This type of guys are just scum who needs to be put in line.

On the other hand however, can you blame these guys? Afterall, the girlfriends of these guys went into a relationship with their eyes open. Well, I agree that people and values do change over time, but to put it bluntly, you girls have just made a wrong valuation of the guy you chose then, didn't you?

Lets look at another hypothetical example, this is interesting.

GuyA is a total geek. He believes in a long lasting relationship, and he's so shy that he happened to 'stumble' into only 1 relationship previously, He did not jio her, nor she jio him, it just happened. A big sigh though, due to NS and many factors rolled into one, it finally did not work out after 2 plus years.

GuyB is a flamboyant popular fella with a glib tongue. He changes his partner ever so frequently. He is the heartthrob of a handful of girls, and an eye candy to many more others. He believes in trying out r'ships to find out the right one, so it doesn't matter to him if there are numerous past girls who don't cut it.

Now to the girls reading this out there, who will you choose? GuyA or B? I surmise a resounding exclaim for GuyA. Ponder this for a moment though. In reality, who will be the guy that keeps getting the girls? GuyA is probably gonna be single for a long long time, GuyB is probably gonna be attached for a long long time, albeit with many different girls.

So, is it really wrong for guys to adopt the GuyB mentality? Since being good and true wouldn't bring you anywhere? Whereas being a jerk actually DOES get you somewhere?

P.S. GuyA and GuyB are adopted from true stories. Again in this case, if you know, you know.
