Digital Digital Get Down

THE REAL DIGITAL LOVE

People like to say...'You can't help who you fall in love with'...

And  I like to think it's true. But when it comes to the above story...is it a question of 'who'? or 'what'? 

What CAN you fall in love with? For some people...apparently, it could be a picture of a beautiful animated girl...for others, it could be a pillowcase...some men get very attached to dolls and bid them tearfull farewells when they have to go away to the 'hospital' (ie. the factory for maintenance work)...and for a select few...falling in love can happen when they watch a couple of pretty horses gallop across a meadow. 

But don't you stop and wonder...why is it always men who fall in love with unusual subjects. Go out and find me a story about a woman who has the hots for her gingerbread man and I'll start to believe that this thing works both ways. I don't know but doesn't this prove that men are more in need of love than women are? And if so, why are we still complaining about our singlehood?

  1. TELL ME ABOUT IT - i think men create this image of being emotionally detached and all that as a defense mechanism because they KNOW that deep down, they're bigger saps that women are.. and if we knew that BOY would we use it against them!!
