At most social events, men are simply ornimentation for women. To prove my point, think of every high school dance you ever went to, okay? The flowers had to be her favorites and they had to look good on her with her dress. Ah, that dress. Professional photographers (if your school hired them) changed the lighting of the picture backdrop to match or compliment your date's dress, just like your tie or vest should. And speaking of that dress, do you remember the maelstrom of hate your girlfriend or date would spew if any other girl had the same one on? "OMG! She has my dress! That *****!" Romantic, huh? Thinking back (or forward for the younger guys) do you remember how many other guys were also wearing black suits or tuxes? Did you care? Hell no, because deep deep down in the burning pit of your soul you realize that every piece of society has set you up to be a token man for your date. In the old days, girls went to dances and boys escorted them. Boys have NEVER, NEVER "gone to a dance." Imagine, "Hey Mike, what are you doing this weekend?" Mike: "Dude, I'm going to a DANCE! It's gonna rock!" I feel my point is made.
It's not a high school problem. For the rest of your life, you will be social decor for the woman you're with. It is your role, so get used to it. Some of you will argue that, no, your girlfriend respects you and care about you and loves you as an equal. That's probably true, congratulations. Still, society has made these rules, not women, so like it or not, everyone plays buy them. Hell, I'm 21 and when my girlfriend decided that she would be a 50s girl (think ribbons and poodle skirts) I instantly became a greaser. No questions there, and it worked out that I didn't have to spend any money since I already have undershirts with pit stains, so no complaints. We both recognize and laugh at how it works like that, and accepting it makes it okay.

Phase 2.... hmmm...
It sort of was already in effect before Phase 1 completed. It's currently in full swing, However, there have been some recent developments on both the old and the new that I really can't explain cause even I don't really get what's going on.
To sum it up: WAY too many feelings from WAY too many people mixing around together.

Re: ([Zero-S])
What? Am I NICO's kid now? Albeit I signed up here shortly after my 15th birthday...[Zero-S wrote:]My little winston...he's growing up so fast!
I'll be in touch with you tonight
9 months, 12 days... haha, but who's counting, right? I've heard being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway...
Yaknow what makes me feel pretty bad? She writes songs for a local chick band (they're really awful lyrics-writers, and she's pretty friggin good)... amazingly, a chick band I can stand to listen to, but anyways, a song she wrote specifically about me got played on 99X the morning (they have a soft rock thing in the morning) of the day I got rid of the whole title thing... it doesn't have a name at the moment, so on the station is was literally called "temporarily named Winston's song."
Like I said, a lot of emotions. I still really care for her, but I just can't sustain a relationship at this point. The whole party thing and the other stuff that was making me mad was just excuses, I've come to realize.
