Merry Christmas - Are you on the down low?
So I went to my cousins house for Christmas dinner yesterday. To my dismay, my aunt (his mom) was there. She's the one who is always trying to hook me up with women and just doesn't know when enough is enough. Anyway, it's Christmas. It's supposed to be a happy, mellow time with family. We watched Miami beat the lakers. We watched the Cowboys lose, so all is well. Until dinner. My cousin's fiance was there, so I guess this sparked a light bulb in his moms head. She began her crap again.
"So, who is the special woman in your life?" "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
"I haven't seen you with anyone since you left that China girl." (She refers to my ex-girlfriend who is Filipina as a China girl, even though she knows her name and knows she's not Chinese - Yup, she's a bigot as well)
"I know plenty educated black girls that would love to be with you." (Just what I need, a career woman!)
"I gotta ask you son, are you gay? You're not on the downlow are you?"
At this point and time, it doesn't even anger me anymore. She's way too predictable. She says the same thing everytime verbatim. I thought maybe at Christmas, she could be a rational human being and not verbally assault me. I thought wrong. It has no effect really, as I rarely see her, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. She tells me she's asking because she cares about me. Nothing says Christmas like asking your nephew if he's a homosexual over dinner.

I admire your stoicness but often I just want to whack the bees buzzing around my ear with a trusty roll of logic.
Just for fun, the next time she bugs you, you should let her know your sentiments regarding career women. For added pleasure, bring to attention Michael Noer's article on Career Women @ Forbes. Then sit back and watch the flames erupt. Also, watch the expression of the husbands and see whether they are trying to suppress laughter.
The other possible answer is you have no intention of being a Wageslave to an ungrateful nagging wife. You are having too much fun, listening to Tom Leykis and playing the "Hit it and Quit It" game.
There's nothing funny about the Lakers losing.
I love it when women try to shame men into dating the pieces of shyt that most of them are. And wonder why we're not so overly-enthused?
But, what the hell's in it for us these days?
