Ok, so I was texting my co-leader from my leadership group (a HB8) because we hadn't had time to plan any activities for tomorrow's meeting with our freshmen, and our conversation took an interesting turn. Here's basically how it went down:
(*Planning*)
Me: Wow, I can't believe we actually agreed on something. It seems like we always fight about everything lately.
Her: Yeah well I'm not feeling well enough to argue tonight.
Me: Thanks for letting me know how to win any future arguments. I'll just wait to make my move until you're sick. And they said winning an argument with a woman was impossible!
Her: Well, most of the time it would be, but not today. Women get what they want, and the sooner you learn that the better, or you won't get any girls.
Me: See, this is why dating today is overrated. So you're telling me that I have to cater to some girl's every whim, buy her gifts, pay for her dinners, actually listen to what she says, and put up with all the extra drama? Tell me, what do I get out of it, besides an empty wallet?
Her: Yeah, pretty much. Good luck getting any girls with that terrible outlook. It's not about the money, it's about the company, friendship and love that two people share. But I guess you don't want that, so whatever.
Me: Of course a woman would say it's not about the money, you're not the one paying it! And I hope you know I wasn't being serious. Ok, only partly serious. And I don't need luck getting girls, but thanks anyway.
Her: Oh alright, go get those girls and prove me wrong then!
Me: Is that a challenge? If it is, I'm not going to back down.
Her: Alright, then. You have three weeks to get a girlfriend and you have to keep her for at least two months.
Me: Sounds interesting. I'll have to think about this, and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
I don't think I know yet what I've gotten myself into, but I have to do this. Of course, this just puts added pressure on me. Now, I don't want to get into a relationship for all the wrong reasons, and I definitely don't want to just jump into one with a woman of low quality in order to win this "bet," but if this doesn't motivate me, then I don't know what will.
