A few weeks ago I was at FHE and having a discussion with my friend Mr. Caffee regarding the importance of putting yourself in situations where you have the opportunity to succeed. The conversation quickly progressed to the subject of applying this concept to interactions with the female gender due in large part to another one of our friends trying to convince us to go to a concert in Hollywood with him rather than staying at FHE. I declined the invitation because I was trying to be responsible and go to bed at a reasonable hour. Mr. Cafee declined based on the extremely high probability of the concert being a "sausagefest" if you will. He was tired of hanging out with "the dudes". He had had his fill of wieners. I then responded that I had had a lifetime of wiener and no longer had the desire to spend all my free time with "the dudes."
I feel the need to emphasize the fact that I do enjoy hanging out with "the dudes" and talking about the latest movie trailer or YouTube clip. However, I also need to have balance in my life. As such, I also need to spend time with those of the opposite gender discussing things like the new Mac store that just opened on the Promenade.
Mr. Caffee, in an effort to put himself in a position to succeed and find balance in his life vowed to never spend another weekend with just "the mantourage." In an effort to accomplish this goal he even convinced a girl to watch a midnight showing of Enter the Dragon with him and a group of friends. I am betting that she was the only woman in the group. Good odds for her though.
In conclusion, I would like to express my support for Mr. Caffee and his resolution. Finding balance and putting yourself in situations where there is opportunity for success are key ingredients to a happy life.
PS These principles are meant to be applied to more than just interactions with the opposite gender. They can be applied to all aspects of life.
PSS I consider myself to be wise beyond my years. I can solve any dilemma as long as it is not my own.
