Unfriending inappropriate Facebook relationships
If there’s one thing this world isn’t short on, it’s attractive women. Seriously, mature females are the most aesthetically pleasing things to look at. Heck, even girls can’t keep their eyes of each other.
But there’s a big difference between appreciating beauty and lusting after it. Which is why some dudes are unfriending attractive females on Facebook, in an effort to stay Marriedbook (crash cymbal please).
“I deleted an old high-school girlfriend,” a colleague told me recently. “She was posting some pretty racy photos of hereself, and I realized I didn’t need to be seeing that as a married man.”
In similar shoes, I felt empowered upon hearing this. Indeed, before quitting Facebook, I had to remove a couple of contacts from my account for similar reasons. But it’s encouraging to hear other married men fighting to stay happily married. It gives me hope.
On that note, do you have any electronic relationships that need deleting?
Wow — what an interesting thought. I never even considered it before. For one thing, men don’t usually post scandalous images online, and for another, seeing men scandalously dressed is really not that attractive. So I don’t even give those kinds of photos a second thought — for men or women. That may be why some women post such awfully immodest photos — they really have no idea how difficult it is for men not to look and look again. And if there are women who do realize it and post, anyway? Shame on them. They are the part of the reason women are constantly objectified. Sigh . . .
