Justin calls, upset, and I end up almost in tears because I realise how FUCKED all my relationships with men are.

I can't handle the opposite sex!! I just can't!!

I'm making huge, possibly erroneous, generalisations here, but for FUCK'S SAKE! Why is it that when a male complains about something and you point out that he's being a twat, he gets stroppy and hangs up the phone?

I try to be as sympathetic as possible. I say, "Yeah, I know that sucks and I can understand why that bothered you, but I think you should look at it a different way..." and he cuts me off and goes back to what he was saying before which I already told him wasn't fair because of a previous dicussion which outlined the expectations of the evening and UGH!!!!!!

Note to Justin: Do not call me to complain about the behaviour of another friend when you have done THE EXACT SAME THING TO ME and then pretend that your circumstances were different and somehow justified when hers were not. I was able to accept what you are like when you go out; so accept what she is like when YOU go out! Why is it that so many guys hold different expectations for girls than they do themselves? Like girls are meant to be fawning over them and falling head over heels for them while the guy remains aloof and disinterested? And GOD FORBID if the female realises he's not as interested and she is, and, GASP! - dare i say it? - MOES ON! "Oh, what a bitch, after everything we discussed!" Yeah. Because I'm sure you were ready to give her the fucking wedding ring, weren't you.

If you ever find this, Justin, I love you loads. I am just slightly pissed off at the moment.
