bros before hos

if you throw your whole life onto one person, you got serious problems if that finishes, everyone knows at least one person that disappears for months on end, then picks up the phone, aha, you know what happened there!

you got to keep up your end of the bargain with the people you know, with your girl/boy, with your family, with your friends, with everyone, with yourselfif you dont, bam they might be gone, and you never even knew, cuz you were starstruck, looking the other way.

dont exclude! its not about bros before hos, or hos before bros! its not really that hard to keep your friends! and keep up with yourself as well, being alone is good, you got to like yourself!

its easy, keep up with the people you want to keep up with, you like them? call them!

Yeah, not having enough to do/enough people to socialize with/etc. outside of a relationship can easily lead to small problems and frictions in the relationship seeming much more important than they are. It leaves you less to talk about, too.

(Meta-question: why am I always *so* irritated by everything and everyone?)

You also don't want to be the "bros before hos" reminder-guy, either, because as it happens any guy who's suspected of putting the ho before the bros probably doesn't appreciate anyone calling her a "ho." (In fact, he goes home and says "Christ, my friends are such crude little idiots" and they bond against you.)

Umm. I've never had this problem. I certainly didn't have it with Nory, cause all of our friends stopped talking to us when we got together. Dicks.

I read this as "like rabbit in headlights after a spliff"

I think it's always important when meeting new people not to think you're somehow moving away from old mates. When you meet a new bunch of people or new girlfriend, your "getting to know you" traits like sense of humour and general wit are always at the forefront and so it's easy to get carried away with yourself.

But often you never go past that level with a bunch of people, and if you've ditched your old friends then....it's your own fault really. I have been hanging with the same 5 or 6 best friends for about 13 years now, things change within that, but 13 years is a long long time.

I make acquaintances very easily and like this to some extent, but I like the constancy of having the same friends I hang around with for so long. I like the routines I have with them, for drinking etc.

I like my routines, like a grandad or something.

Gareth, your friends are very strange, aren't they?

that is more of a meme-question or, more still, a mememe-question.

I think it's a vicous circle.

New York encourages ditching relationships, everyone's always looking for that next step up, something cooler right around the corner, I think suzy calls these people "swivel-heads".

Nothing on bros and hos really, sorry.

Hi everybody!

One of the weirdest things about my "sister" being around, is she is someone that I have known for half my life. Both of us can remember things that we shared 10, even 15 years ago. And I'm not used to that, it seemed very strange.

I don't know if I have a bad way of not holding on to people because I am odd, or if I am odd because I've never held on to anyone.

Maybe this is something I'll grow out of, but for now, love != friendship.

Oh, and to answer the question, hos before bros = relationship, bros before hos = no relationship (or one that is quickly ended). Fact of life.

haha, er, :(

not my friends, hypothetical! as in, when people do this, the friends might have gone and done anything in that period for all that the person ensconced in relationship tunnel vision would know.

oh no, i have turned into hstencil, taking a jokey post all serious, yesterday i turned into sterling. what has happened to me. damn, i think i need to float above the skies of LA again before that cat destroys any more buildings...

I mean, I haven't invited HSA along for record shopping on Saturday morning, what would he think about that? me? Going along record shopping with FOUR BOYS from the INTERNET? Maybe he might have a problem with that. I don't know yet. Last time, he didn't *want* to come (even though it was only ONE BOY from the INTERNET last time) so who knows.

Whenever I'm in a relationship, I need to have time away, time with my friends.

Sounds like HSA is doing HIS stuff tonite. I wouldn't take it as a bad sign at all - in fact the opposite - maybe he feels secure about you and him and is just... doing his *stuff*.

Say Hi to Marcello for me on Sat. and tell him to reply to a bloody e-mail once in a while (I'm joking-ish). I wish I was going to the FAP tonight, but I'm really feeling rough this week, so will be tucked up in bed by 10.00 just as JtN lets rip with another Billy Idol song.

Maybe this is why I'm so freaked out by the realisation that this week is the first time in two months either of us have really wanted/needed to see other friends.

ACtually, that's not true. He has, I haven't really. I should make more of an effort. Starting with going to the FAP tonight.

OH, BTW, HSA's Histuff was last night. I don't know what he's doing tonight, we were supposed to have dinner with another couple, but then the other Soundartist Guy wanted HSA to go to the ICA with him, and there was no mention of if I was invited to that or not. :-(

overdoing/neglecting any one to detriment of others=DUD

Weird as it is to admit it, I don't think I have any real friends at the moment, not close friends anyway (and haven't had any male friends for several years, which I'm sure is not healthy and so forth, but I can't seem to muster the interest). Other men usually don't interest me enough for me to want to be friends with them. The women I would want to be close friends with usually interest me a little too much to be comfortable just being friends with them.

Also if you haven't got good friendships the chances of having a successful relationship are lessened somewhat I'd imagine.

We exist and are who we are through our friends as much as in any other way.

Also, when I had close friendships, that never seemed to lead into meeting women for relationships; but having a loose network of relatively casual friends has turned out to be more useful for that. (I know friends aren't just means to that end, but you (Ronan) brought up the issue of friends making it easier to get into relationships.)

I think you're thinking of his monologue on Nighthawks, nick!

"Sometimes I kinda feel like taking MYSELF out. Somewhere classy, y'know? And then when I get bored with myself I go into the Mexican whorehouse opposite the Catholic church, to see Rita, just got outta Folsom... BARK BARK BARK CIRCUS FREAKS SCANDINAVIAN MIGDETS SAILORS ON SHORE LEAVE IN SOUTH CHINA MUUUURDER BARK BARK BARK!"

Ladeez and gentlemen, the career of mr Thomas Waits! Thangyooverymush!

(that is, friends before boy toys)

and friends to the end.

You may or may not be bad, but either way it has little to do with your liking your own company. I'm pretty good at being a boyfriend, but I demand at least 2-3 hours a day alone. This is not negotiable. And I prefer to have that time at around 11-2 at night. My sleep patterns get weird sometimes, and sometimes I nap at weird hours and slog through work half asleep, but if I gave up my "me" time every night, time to listen to records and write and sip beer and be idle, I would go mad inside of a week. And the girlfriend is just gonna have to understand that. Fortunately, she does.

Many of you will realise that I am not a nigger from the motherfucking streets.

ahh so they ain't quite the same, d'oh

To what extent do you agree with "BROS BEFORE HOES"

I wish my job was illustrating cakes that are also kings.

KING –– it says it right on his crown.

ooh, he's just about to scoop out some frosting with that scepter of his

he is rushing to the aid of a fallen countryman (too late, too late)

Seriously considering a tattoo of that KING.

where

bros and girls

Lately I’ve noticed some tension among the bros; some dissonance in the brommunity

...as if millions of bros suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

The lads must save the bros

leave us ta fuck out if it

Lol, so young... not so different.

I so adhere to this. I hate couples and how they take away my friends. And my guy friends' girlfriends always hate me or my girl friends' boyfriends always think I'm out to maim them (not entirely untrue). I'm in a couple and I hate us.
