Me + Dag = Other good catch...

I popped over to the Glebe office today, to visit my monkey. I knew it would be like a 1 minute meeting, but the project manager insists that i waste 1.5 hours by travelling from our CBD office to Glebe and then back...just to see the monkey.

So, i went. But i had my really quick meeting with him and then spent the rest of the time catching up with other teams that i use to have lunch with when i worked at Glebe.

The manager, who offered me 6 figures for the contract role he really wanted to fill, was telling me about his newest addition. He use to be a monogamist, but since his divorce he has adopted polygamy. He likes to have 4 or 5 girlfriends, one for each day of the working week, while the weekends is exclusively for his kids.

In a very mocking way, i told him that his life was wild and exciting and in reflection to my own, my life was boring as...now stupid me, i also said, "if only i had that many boyfriends"...

Either he took me seriously, or i must be looking lonely and/or desperate these days...which is a worry in itself.

He suggested, since "from his experience" that i take a photo with our mutual friend and colleague (who he thinks is a dag) and pretend that he was an ex. Then, he can use that photo and pimp me to some eligible bachelors.

According to this manager, if you are in a photo with someone who is a bit of a "dag" it will then:

(a) Make you look more attractive, comparatively, standing next to said "dag".
(b) Make the person you are being pimped to, think that you must be a really special and nice sort of person to have given said "dag" a chance.
(c) And at the crux of it all, IF you did go out with said "dag" then the person you are being pimped to will feel as though they have a good chance in getting to know you. The fear of rejection is greatly minimised.

So, for most of the afternoon, i was dodging this manager, trying to avoid being snapped by his mobile camera...bloody 2M...

Now speaking of this manager and his polygamous relationships...

Listening to him talk about how much fun he is having is intriguing to me, as i have never met anyone who managed to have 4 or 5 girlfriends at any one time. Having said that, I am also quite turned off by it.

I am a person who believes in monogamy.

What i dont get is why these young asian women are comfortable with being only a girlfriend on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday? And I dont get why they are so comfortable with the knowledge that their boyfriend is being shared with 3 or 4 other women.

This manager is up front. All the women he sees know that they will only be getting one day of the week. They know that their boyfriend is seeing other women. They know that the intimacy will be shared amongst all of them.

I think that's the thing that would kill me the most, if i was in that situation.

I dont want to share the intimacy i have with someone with 3 or 4 other women. I only want the intimacy to be shared between him and i, thats it, no one else.

So, the question on my lips is "How are they so comfortable with sharing him?"

These women are intelligent, attractive and fun to be with...I wonder why they havent snared a man and gotten married already. But that kind of wondering opens a can of ugly worms...so lets not go there.

The turnover rate of these women arent that high...every couple of months, only one gets swapped with another...so i guess there is some form of retention.
=P

hehehe...

I cant wait until the next time i visit Glebe...i'm pretty sure there will be more news of his 4 or 5 girlfriends...until then, i guess.
