Cooter Footer: Realism on Relationships

In my current relational state of affairs, I can only wonder how I've gone this long without holding on to a long-term relationship more than six months long. Then, I watch this clip from Chris Rock's HBO stand-up comedy special Never Scared.

It's not that I can't hold onto a relationship for long. It's just that I haven't so long as to strike one up. You know, the "in-between girlfriends for three freakin' years" phase.

So for inspiration, and for me to think twice on re-entering the market, I give you this food for thought from Mr. Rock, who makes several good points.

The bulletpoints of this six minute vid are...
  • Re-examine the times you were "in love"; 0:00-0:57 makes it clear to you
  • It's all about her, no matter what
  • Don't argue with her; In the end, she will win anyways
  • And, face it, some guys are good, but were you good enough to be "the first choice?"
Realism like this makes me and Chris Rock the worst viewers of pornography ever. We won't buy the acting those "actors" are selling until the whole scene "ends."
