the night, I woke up feeling sweaty and uncomfortable from being stuffed in my tiny bed with Luc draped all over me.
Still buzzed from the excessive amount of wine I had drunk, I stumbled out of bed and decided to check my email. I found an email from Katie and a few other emails from friends, but still nothing from Jeff. I pulled up the oh-so-polite email I had sent to him a few days back. As I read it over a few times, a rip-roaring vengeance swept over me. So, in my half-asleep, drunken state, I composed another email.
Jeff,
I just wanted you to know that I have a handsome, sexy French man in my bed at this very moment. Besides being attractive and sweet, he is AMAZING in bed . . . much better than you ever were. We had sex three times tonight in fact.
Just wanted you to know how it feels.
Your ex-fiancée,
Charlotte
Okay, so maybe three times was an exaggeration, but what the hell. Without hesitation, I hit the “send” button and off went my bitter email to Jeff. Immature? Maybe. But did it feel good? Oh yes it did.
I signed onto my blog and found that my hits were rising, and several more women had commented. How exciting. I began composing a new post:
Rule # 1: Avoid all serious “talks” with men who you are just having fun with. Think of the last time you told a man, “We need to talk.” Do you remember the expression on his face? How he looked like he’d rather jump off a twenty-story building to his imminent death than sit there trapped in a “talk” with you?
In our new method of dating like a man, the same thing applies to us, ladies. Since we’re not looking for love, there is no need to have serious talks with guys we’re seeing. The less you know, the better.
But, you don’t want to seem heartless either. We are sweet, caring women after all. In the following example, I will show you how I successfully distracted a man from having “the talk” with me earlier tonight, without acting like a heartless bitch.
Case in Point: After telling me he used to be married, then ditching me half-way through our date after another sketchy phone call, Half-Naked French Hottie came over tonight to redeem himself. Just as we were about to enjoy a movie, he apologized for the other night, then proceeded to say that he had something to tell me.
A few possibilities ran through my mind. He’s still married. He has a girlfriend. Or, even worse, he wants to start a relationship. We’ve only hung out twice before this, so the relationship talk seems premature, but who knows? I am in a foreign country.
Whatever he had to say was irrelevant though. I’m here to have fun, remember? Not to get into a relationship, have serious talks about issues, and become all emotionally involved.
So, to shut him up without making him feel bad, I kissed him. Which brings me to my next rule:
Rule # 2 – Do have mind-blowing sex with no strings attached, and then eat chocolate immediately afterward. Who cares if you gain a few pounds? It’s all about pleasure here, ladies.
Think about it. What motivates a man’s every decision? Pleasure. That’s all they’re looking for. They’ll have a beer when they feel like it. They’ll have a great night of sex whenever they want (or whenever they can get it). They’ll sit around in their underwear scratching their balls, just because they can.
We women, on the other hand, are always in the pursuit of love. But, as we throw our hearts on the line, guys are just wondering when they’ll get their next lay.
So, I am calling on each and every one of you to make a dramatic shift in your thought process. Remember this: pleasure just for the sake of pleasure is a good thing. We don’t need to be madly in love with a guy to have amazing sex and feel satisfied. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. If we’re not worried about what happens after the sex, the sex is more fun, more carefree, and definitely more orgasmic. Plus, if we don’t care about the next-day callback,
