it's downright painful to witness. i'm as horny as any other human being on this planet, but i'm not going to humiliate myself for attention. the ones giving you attention are just gonna call you a slut or whore as soon as your back is turned anyway. i don't wanna hurt my friends, but i don't wanna see them hurt themselves anymore, either. i just can't take it.
I have 2 friends who act like this. We are all single moms with little kids that go to preschool together. We are all three on the Dean's list at our college. When no men are around they're bright and responsible. But when certain men are around, or when they think certain men might possibly be in the vicinity, they become pathetic. I feel so embarrassed for them. Suddenly, they can't have an intelligent conversation. Suddenly, even when the guy says demeaning things ("I can get together with you later if my girlfriend is busy.") they laugh like he's brilliant. It's so sad. It's a good thing I don't go to bars with them because I probably don't want to see what goes on. I feel like telling them that they're better than that, but they apparently don't think so.
