The Player At A Man Buffet

Let me put it out there in terms we can all identify with. You’re at a buffet. Everything looks good. The sirloin, the baked potato, the ceasar salad and the chocolate bottom pie. Do you need all these things? No. But will only one do? No. So what do you do? Of course you have a little bit of each, right? This is my feeling on the perfect man. He doesn’t exist but there are pieces of every man that brings the meal full circle.

Have a man you can depend on emotionally. This can be a friend, a confidant, whatever you want to call him. But don’t sleep with him. No matter how often he might try. Because once you do, he has slipped out of the appetizer category and into the meat.

Keep a piece of meat on hand. A friend with benefits. A sex buddy. A booty call. Someone you can call, no strings attached, at two in the morning after the bar and get your freak on. You won’t try calling him the next day and he won’t call you. There is no post-one night stand trauma or guilt.

Now you have fulfilled the emotional and physical. You need a mental dish. The dessert. The person I like to refer to as “the fake boyfriend”. A married man at the office, the guy that lives down the hall, a hottie at the bar…wherever. This is the guy who makes your heart skip. The untouchable. The one who can fantasize about but never really touch. He keeps your mind and body sharp and alert. You dream about the time when you will be together, knowing in your heart and mind, that this will never really happen but it gets you by with that flutter in your stomach. It adds pizzazz and mystery to your life. But remember, untouchable. If you take the mental dish over the line of physical or emotion, your asking for some serious problems.

By keeping these three types of guys on hand, you will never go hungry. There will always be someone there to quench whichever urge or craving you are having. And if/when one disappoints you, there are two others to indulge in. No one man or main course is ever going to satisfy you day after day so spice things up a little.

Bon appetite!
