Inverse Paradigm

My buddy Tim. When I told him some of the things I wanted to avoid in my next relationship, like not dealing with excessive criticism, he said, “Raymond you must want a dead woman.” Then he said, “Go down to the porno store and buy yourself a blowup doll. ‘Cause when you’re in a relationship with a real woman you’re going to have to put up with some criticism. That doesn’t mean you have to have a crazy girlfriend. But you will have to deal with some criticism.” He’s probably right. Perhaps that was an unrealistic expectation. So with that understanding I am putting criticism back on the table as okay. Crazy is still out. Racist chicks are still out. My last girlfriend was a crazy racist chick. I feel it is important to split those to qualities for selection purposes. But I’ll put up with some criticism. I’m not saying a lot. And I’m not saying I’ll change or change completely. I am a Taurus and we don’t do conformity well.
