Probably the smartest thing in this thread. Much, much smarter than all the "he's just trying to press your buttons" bullshit.

This ain't chess. It's checkers.

I get why people use it in the first place, but I just never understood how that represents having two things that contradict each other. If you're having some cake, you're eating it. And if you have a cake, why wouldn't you eat it?! Who wants to let a cake just sit there and rot?

ITT we reflect on our own previous fuckups and try to apply those situations to sylvershadow.

6/24/2011 11:05:01 AM

I have decided I like this phrasing a lot more:

"You can't eat your cake and still have it (or save it for later)"


Bothers me less

^ hahaha I love that blog post



But really, I am more content with this new phrasing. I think it gets the point across in a more sensical way (even though it doesn't sound as nice)

6/24/2011 11:08:08 AM

no it just tells people that you're too dumb to comprehend something pretty basic without rearranging the words.

6/24/2011 11:08:59 AM

epic burn

6/24/2011 11:09:43 AM

Or I just don't agree with how it's worded

All this talk is making me want some cake

nomnomnom i eat cake now

6/24/2011 11:10:47 AM

That's asinine. That's like saying the phrase "All roads lead to Rome" doesn't apply anymore, so instead you'll say "All roads lead to Nashville" instead.

Similarly, the expression "When in Rome" for you, would be "When in Nashville."

Nothing against Nashville, holla back now.

I wanted to find a funny lolcat picture, but instead I found these






^ I just really always had a problem with how it was phrased. Because honestly, to say you can't have some cake could mean either eating it or saving it for later. And I always thought it was silly to think that anyone would save some cake for the hell of it. Eat the damn cake. No dilemma there

6/24/2011 11:15:20 AM

Even when you flip it around, the meaning itself is still silly, imo. Obviously you can't have both things - but wouldn't eating the cake always be better? Why would you want to save it? It's just going to get stale and then you won't enjoy it as much. Just tell someone "you can't have it both ways" - no muss, no fuss.

6/24/2011 11:17:37 AM

are you seriously still talking about this

6/24/2011 11:18:05 AM

yes

now I can't stop thinking about cake

6/24/2011 11:18:39 AM

OP doesn't understand men at all.


1. MEN THINK WITH THEIR DICKS UNTIL THEIR DICK IS SATISFIED. Only then do you get an honest opinion.


2. MEN NEED TO FUCK MULTIPLE PEOPLE. It's coded in our DNA. Men are highly HIGHLY capable of fucking people they don't love.

3. MEN DON'T NEED TO FUCK THE PEOPLE THEY LOVE. Men love the people they love without the sex. This is why sex after marriage stops or slooooows down to a crawl. It's booooring. It's redundant. There's no cure for this except to fuck other women.

Best way to explain this:

I love my dog. I fuck women. No matter how many women I fuck, I still love my dog without having sex with it. I would never abandon my dog. I would always be there for my dog. That's love. But I don't want to fuck my dog.

Same applies to wives. A guy can love his wife, but usually fucks other bitches on the side. It doesn't mean he doesn't love his wife. Look at Senator Weiner. No matter how much a guy has on the line... he MUST fuck with other bitches. It doesn't mean he doesn't love his wife. Even Osama bin Laden, under strict bin Laden law, had 7 wifes. Monogamy is unnatural for a dude.



4. FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS: Friends with benefits is SEX ONLY. He was right about not being touchy-feely with you in public. Friends with benefits is 'just friends' and 'just friends' don't woo friends in public. There is a boundary/imaginary wall put in place to shield "emotions" and "drama" from the playing field. Friends with benefits means when you go out in public, you want to be seen as single with the opportunity of getting laid, but if all else fails, you both benefit from fucking at the end of dually failed nights.

Omg why do y'all keep thinking I want him back?? I don't. I'm just insulted he a not pining after me like he should be after telling me how much I mean to him. This situation with him is going to be super awkward. he's staying with me next week while his apt gets fixed and we're both going to the same party next weekend.

And he's paying money to stay with me. Right now I can't afford to turn down any money.

6/24/2011 11:30:44 AM

men don't pine after women.

well none that i know.

6/24/2011 11:31:24 AM

he's looking to rebound after getting rejected

sounds like he did

He told you this for a reason. The reason was to get you to put out more.

6/24/2011 11:40:09 AM

Dude just wanted to fuck. He's not interested in emotions for at least another week when he realizes he has nobody and feels sorry for himself. Then he'll try to butter you up to like him again.

6/24/2011 11:40:26 AM

is he paying "rent" or giving "bootycallmonies"?

6/24/2011 11:42:06 AM

Paying rent.

I wouldn't say that.


Usually when a guy lies like that, he wants to build a facade around him to make it seem like he didn't care about sex at all and only cared about her.

6/24/2011 11:48:28 AM

Welcome to Planet Earth.

Men lie.

Women believe it.

Why the hell is it awkward? He apparently feels the same about you that you do about him, it would be way more awkward if he was actively pining after you and you had no feelings for him.

I can't understand why you're so pissed off.

ain't saying it's the right answer, but telling a girl about other girls to make her jealous isn't something i just made up on the fly. It's a pretty ancient trick.

Except before he had a 10% chance of having sex with me in the near future. Now he has a -100% chance.

6/24/2011 11:58:20 AM

all because he's not pining over you?

6/24/2011 11:59:17 AM

I dunno,he sounds like a man who can say what you want to hear to get in your pants again.
