gentlemen callers

the world puzzles me. really, it does. actually let that be society at large. you just can't win sometimes. this one example that i will give you, dear readers, is one that continuously fascinates me. let it be noted that i am not taking sides with this one...it's just too damn complicated.

the singletons vs significant others debate
...or as i like to call it...the case of green lights vs the red lights. SO, background information is required. as you all know, being a green light signifies GO...or in singleton language, "ready for action". therefore being a red light means STOP...because they already have a significant other.

now that we have that settled, let's move on. the greenies and reds co-exist somewhat peacefully, yet they just can't seem to understand each other. obvious, isn't it? it's like trying to understand a different species. although, there are the ones who have crossed over to either dark side. i am not suggesting that one of these groups is THE dark side...it's all relative to whether you are a greenie or a red.

COMMON QUOTES
greenies: “reds are the people who need to be attached to someone and don’t have very much independence”

reds: “greenies never understand what it’s like because they’re not IN a relationship”

now both seem to think the other is somewhat inferior to their own group of people. not true. your relationship status is not an indicator of you as a person within society (although it may be for some). and having crossed over to BOTH sides, i say maybe we should all be giving each other a break. who cares if someone is single, or another has a partner?

as sex and the city has taught me...in the end it’s your friends who are there for you again and again...and it doesn’t matter if they’re single or taken. good friends always come through for you.
