Rant of the Week: Going After What you Want

Written by Gary

“I hate games.” How many times have you heard someone utter this phrase? Have you noticed that the next few words out of their mouth normally describe past relationships in which they unknowingly played games? When someone is being manipulative, the very act of not responding or appearing effected is manipulation in itself. When someone is trying to dominate you, passive aggressively choosing to let them is a form of dominance as well. In relationships, it is basically impossible to avoid games. This is why I always just play to win.

People normally don’t ask for what they want. Guys are afraid that if they ask for a blowie on the first date, girls will think they only want sex. Girls expect a guy to know and understand why they are angry even if they don’t even know, themselves.

If we were living in a world where nobody was afraid to be vulnerable we could state exactly what we want and know that no matter what the outcome, life would go on. It’s a fact that you will never get what you want if you don’t at least ask for it.

In reality, life is just one big game and we are all playing against each other. The best way to win this game is to stop playing against yourself and go after the things you desire, whether that is a new job, relationship, breast augmentation, or hookup with a drug dealer that delivers. Its true that when you constantly risk your feelings by being upfront about what you want, a lot more doors end up slamming in your face. That number, however, is nothing compared to the amount of doors that open.
