The Promise Seekers

“I’m gonna go work out.”

“What time will you be back?”

“I dunno.  2:15.”

“Promise?”

“Uhh…”

This isn’t to make my girlfriend look bad though she’ll think I’m talking trash.  “Promise?” rolls easily off her tongue as it does off the tongues of many women.  The constant need for security pervades from the most simple personal exchange up to political philosophy.  Barack Obama didn’t response to the dangling “Promise?” with “Uhh…”.  He hopped to and bellowed “Yes ma’am.”

I think of the wedding ring, the engagement ring, and the “promise” ring.  All of these are security deposits usually put out by the man in a relationship so that the woman can feel at ease about her future.

    And yet, women are generally repulsed by men who freely and willingly offer them enough security to alleviate every last worry that could possibly ever concern their pretty little heads. Call it a paradox.

    all those times when the White Nationalists sisters and girlfriends are looking for some play, they always tell me I’m a white guy with a tan….

    There is no mixed. There is people of Color like the army of Soldiers in formation here. Unless you a uppity man of light color too good for Men of deep darkness. Are you

    “Just got home from the office [yes, I actually work at a real job], getting ready to go out for drinks with a hottie.”

    Yea because when most guys are about to go out with a “hottie”, they make sure to post about in a blog’s comment section.

    Yep. Classic fitness test. Fail this one by promising or getting irritated. If you do promise then you get to fail later also whether you keep your promise or not. Your either a loser who doesn’t keep his promises or you’re wrapped around her finger.

    There used to be a cause of action 100 years ago for breach of promise to marry. That was kind of replaced in the 1930s – so that it wouldn’t be so obvious, and also because of marketing by DeBeers and other diamond companies – by an expensive engagement ring that served as a “bond” (in the financial sense). You pay out money in dating so that she can assess that you’re not a cheapskate. If you “win” her, you get to pay for her for the rest of your life, or give her lots of stuff if she leaves.

    But – OH BOY! – you get to have sex with her in the first few years before her interest wanes.

    Women are natural socialists. Always have been. Always will be.
