And the ever classic, ever clueless:
It sort of has a timeless ring to it, doesn’t it? Almost poetic in its simplicity.
I’m sure the first question you asked when you got up this morning was, how does social media affect the men who want to tell us what to do?
No, my dear. You’re missing the point. You don’t get to tell your girlfriend what to wear. Although, maybe we could make a new song, “If you like it then you should have put some pants on it…” But then, of course, she’d be wearing the pants.
Today I’d like to ask this question: what is a modern relationship? It’s pretty clear what it meant to this guy:

But is there really something worth being called a “modern relationship”? Are relationships so different today that they deserve this title? Or are we only having the same relationships we’ve always had, in a modern setting?
I’d like to think a truly “modern relationship” is ideally post-feminist one, where lovers are partners in a truer sense of the word than ever before. But you can’t read the news or watch TV without knowing that post-feminism isn’t remotely close to where we’ve arrived, as a people. But it makes me sad to think, that to some people, the idea of modernity and fidelity are not only set apart from each other, but possibly even opposites. Or is it possible, in this day of statuses and tweeting and “liking” as a button rather than a feeling, that the offender above meant a modern relationship was one that lacked any interpersonal investment at all?
But really, all of this begs the question to me: if that is a modern relationship, what the hell is post-modern relationship? Cave-man-esque scenes are brought to mind. Or is that love with robots?
Okay, so it’s not my soulmate. But I did find a new hummus this weekend that is to die for. Enough about me.
Found a new booty call? Slept together 4 days ago? This is one of those things you don’t want to hear him to say.

Translation: “Our connection” = “I’d still really like to keep having sex with you.”
Lesson of the day: if you have to seek someone out to announce that you’re over them, you’re not.
