The woman wasn’t turned off or overly turned on by the situation, which made
a single man on the prowl, notice how to come at this woman if they decide to,
and what if nothing else, not to do. Now, this is what was said to me by my
friend that had to wash up, pee, and wash up again the same time as me. Now
as we went and left the restroom, we made ourselves back to the sofa that
looked like it either came from A Deep Ghetto Goodwill or Vintage Ethan Allen
and sat down again.

Now as PBT, Pretty Boy Tone, one of my dudes, came back from the bar, he
gave us his rundown on whats going on here, somewhere else and his take on
the status or scale, this particular night at this spot is. As we all listened
closely and agreed on his assessment, we knew at that moment, we could get
a little bit more comfortable because we knew if nothing else, this is where we
are going to start, stay and end our evening together. So now comes in the fact,
are eating, hungry, drinking or what? We all had eaten, and many of us had
early morning, so we knew wasn’t going to drink a lot, but have fun and catch
up with each other. Now as usual, there were pretty single women in tha
house. The percentage of us that is single and current looking for a partner, is
about fifty-fifty, so when out with us, you never know what can or will happen.
Which brought up the question, are you still single, when you are not or are
married? And yes, even though you are in a committed relationship, does that
mean you are married, or in something almost like marriage with all of the
rules, but not marriage and can or can’t still morally, break the other ones or
rules, quite yet? That was the question and topic we start talking about, and
was joined by this group of people, that overheard us, and asked if they could
join in with us, the vibe, topic and moment. Now us being us, we welcomed the
company. We did and do it unconditionally, and know if nothing else, we might
hear or learn something from someone we may had never met before, on
things we may have never thought about, thinking about. You see each of us
can handle their own in their own field of expertise, and smart enough to know,
how dumb we are on things we have no clue on. I am not saying we are the
cream of the crop, but I can say this, we are far from the bottom and bring
something to the table when it is time to eat. Anyway, as the two groups
started to form one, we scanned each other over, and tried to find that person
we knew we could go to for whatever in this once in a lifetime meeting, to find
comfort, understanding or whatever was needed at the time. Now my man
Tone, had two of the four women, trippin’ hard. They couldn’t stop looking at
him, and him being single, picked up on it faster than they knew they were
doing it. We all just laughed inside of ourselves, and knew where this path
could be heading, and continued our conversation of what it is to be single, and
what it means, not to and to be married. Now if you have read one of my earlier
theories where I talked about my crew, throwing out someone that had been
with us, for over thirty years. It was the one where I talked about how he was
married with a child, and was going through some stuff that had him down on
his luck. He was down and where he was at, we couldn’t help him, because he
didn’t or couldn’t see asking us for any, and there was nothing we could at the
time but support him. But his wife stood by him. She did that unthinkable shit
that many of us are not capable of, and went far beyond the stretch of the
imagination, and stood by the man she loved. But this idiot, start falling for his
shrink, and to us, that is a no-no. You see to us, and I can speak for us as one
unit, and how we think about this one topic, among others. But to us, when you
get married, you do not and can not cheat or go outside of the relationship for
things you should have in yours already. You cant even give a reason or
justification if you go there, because simply, you have no business walking
down that street or avenue in the first place. You know better, and we know,
you know better. If you did or dogo down that street, why did you get married in
the first place? Did you do it for the ceremony and not what it means, or what in
the fuck were you thinking when we all asked you the questions, close friends
are suppose to do, on what marriage means to each of the people you share
your intimate secrets with. We sent through everything we were supposed to
in giving the buddy test, and each of us gave him our two cents, as we also did,
our blessings in welcoming her as his better or other half, in his relationship to
us. If you do go outside of your relationship, you are greedy in the bad sense,
and your intentions are to harm ignorantly, not to help selfishly, and if you will
do that to your wife, what will or can you do with or to us? You sleep with her
nightly.
