Do expound, my good man. Details will perhaps allow me to adjust it in the future.
Well I went out with several of my friends on Saturday. We went for a few pre-drinks at a pub and everything was cool - really respectful, friendly and upbeat. After a few hours we head to somewhere busier. Upon entering we go over to the bar to queue for a drink, and a girl next to meet starts a conversation with me. We end up talking for half an hour, we kiss, then she leaves with her friends (I didn’t get her number; she was moving away, and by now will be in morocco). My friends treated me slightly different after this.They weren’t confrontational or direct, rather they were a little passive aggressive and less inclusive of me – which I found slightly ironic and disrespectful since some of them only know each other through me. It was subtle – and I don’t even know if they where conscious of it – but I pick up on these things. I think it’s starting to become a trend. Ultimately I’m not overly concerned; jealousy is just an inconvenient compliment, and I’ll live with it if I have to.
Very interesting. Do your friends have trouble getting girls? They probably weren't conscious of it, but I know what you mean. Maybe ask them about it or something. I really hate passive aggressive behavior, so I usually try to address it in a non-confrontational way.


- at some point.
My point is - as Shannon has, himself, been alluding to in some of his recent posts - sex isn't the goal. I'm beginning to think that how much people want sex isn't so much determined by their hormones or what-have-you, but more psychological; how much of a neurosis there is in the Phallus stage to borrow a term from Psychoanalysis. Similarly, for example, overeating - in my opinion - isn't a genetic trait but a neurosis of the oral stage. What relevance that has I don't know; all I know is there is an abundance of sex available for me, but in these past few weeks, it just doesn't
