People that fool themselves?

[society]

I know, I should mind my own business - and for the most part I do. That's why I am voicing this here instead of causing drama with my friends.

 

I sometimes feel that as if I am the only "realist" in my group of friends. Especially when it comes to relationships.

 

I feel like there are so many people in relationships and they don't know why! From what I have seen, this would describe the majority of relationships.

 

Here is one example:

 

I have a friend, "A" and his "girlfriend of convenience", "B".

 

Okay, B is not a very attractive girl, but she is really nice. I've talked to "K" man to man and he claims she is beautiful. Cool, right?

 

A few days ago, "A" calls me up. "Hey, I met some girls at work, want to hang out and be my wingman?".

 

I declined because I just don't give a crap anymore, BUT "A" proceeds to go out with these women. A day later, I "bump" into him hanging with this very attractive blonde. He is obviously trying to make some moves....

 

Now, with me being me, I was like, "Where is "B""? And then he proceeds on this big long excuse on how "She's cool with it" - I'm like "yeah, right ----suuuure" Apparently,they had a "talk" and it's alright with "B" if "A" sows his oats all summer.

 

Is this a joke? I wish it was - I know at least 5 or 6 other people I know that masquerade like this. I mean just go be alone for a while, MUST YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP TO FEEL COOL?

 

Seems like being in a relationship lowers your intelligence anymore.
