Hey, I’m Married to You on Facebook

I hate how I always have to sound like an old geezer whenever I try and express my thoughts, but I need to rant. This time it’s about the silly little game of fake marriage on Facebook ; it’s something that I have almost participated in, but mainly for VERY self-serving reasons. It seems clear that many a times the “fake marriage” game is a way of getting involved with someone you like, but not really. No awkwardness, no commitment, no silly little things of that sort, just the acting. Just the stupid things people do as a couples, but at the end of the day it’s a big joke, but often times one of the participants thinks there is a chance. A chance for something real, something that goes beyond the joke ; of course, the problem is that the other person, always(and I mean ALWAYS) 1) knows that this person wants to go beyond the joke and 2) that they can control the other person by leading them on. The seductive power of women has probably driven men to do more crazy, stupid, and immoral things  more than anything else on this green earth. 

So, my proposal( no pun intended) is to stop this madness and quit the pretending. I don’t think it is all that great when people get hurt because they have this notion that they have potential with someone. I mean, we crucify ourselves for these people and then they say ” Oh, well, that was just a silly joke” . I love jokes, you love jokes, the old lady with the cats down the street loves jokes, but sometimes I need somberness. I need to know that I did not waste my time. 

* I’m slapping a big “NOT THAT I’M BITTER’ sticker onto that rant. Quite truthfully, that was not something that personally happened to me, but others around me. Yeah, no joke.
