I Almost Wish Ghosts Were Real...

So, I hate to admit it, but tonight I watched "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". However, now that I've watched it, I wish that this actually existed and ghosts would visit some guys from my past to smack some sense into them.

The movie tells the story of a guy, who is a carbon copy of most of the boys (note intentional use of the word "boy") whom I have dated, for whatever reason (in this case, he was burned by his childhood crush) vows to keep his distance from any woman that comes into life, to use them, and then immediately push them away to prevent any potential pain for himself. But of course, in return, he causes a great deal of pain and confusion for those women left in his wake (I can see you all nodding your head in unison).

It's full of stereotypical (because we know them all too well?) lines and behaviors, including "wise words" from his uncle, "If there is one thing you learn tonight, it's this. The power in a relationship lies with whoever cares less." The movie, like "He's Just Not That Into You," tells women in the audience that these boys are to be left alone, until the end when they get all Hollywood-happy-ending on us and make us think that these self-involved boys will actually change.

Don't hold your breath ladies, there are good guys out there. Go find one :)
