Making It Difficult

In searching for a new home to house the humor, I found that I like to use alliteration. I also found an interesting phenomenon. On craigslist, in the housing search area, not in the awkward 'wish I had talked to you passive aggressive non-committal post' section (missed connections), you will find a number of situations like this one:

Its a female looking for another female because the last female didn't work out. I have no problem with indicating who you would wish to live with. Totally down with that. I just find it interesting that there are way more female living situations on craigslist than 'must be male'. Why? I have an answer. In terms of betting, a female living situation (more than 2 girls in the same enclosure) have 3/2 odds of failure, leading to a complete house breakdown and subsequent evacuation or one female leaving with upset feelings. Why is this? Females feel secure in packs. When Alexander Hamilton said that 'factions were inevitable' he didn't mean political parties, he meant women ganging up on someone to feel better about themselves.

Think about this. If you are walking or driving in a major city and you see a girl walking alone, take a mental note of the % of them that will be talking on their cell phones. It will be very high. Like in the 90s. The remaining % are either waiting for a call...anxiously or are those really angry girls that try to come off as super-confident but are really not. Seriously. Observe it.

What does this tell us? Simple, women do not like to be alone. They do not like feeling lonely. Some may value private time, and this doesn't always go for all women, but women need alliances constantly. Most men do not. Every dude at one point or another, has been sitting quietly at his house, comfortable as all get out, doing something enjoyable by himself. He has then debated whether or not to join the others at another venue...really debated...and at least once, he has stayed in; not because he was tired, but because he didn't feel like seeing anybody.

Back to the original point, if they ever create the ability to bet on housing situations, find a 4 house parlay with all women in each one, bet $100, and clean up. Also, be unbelievably careful if you are a female and are responding to one of those 'looking for a female roommate' posts. Chances are, the last one ended really poorly and so will this one. Note: it is always better to live with dudes. I firmly believe every girl should have to do this at some point for at least one year. Increases how cool a girl is by an average of %34. I also believe that everyone should have to play youth sports until they are 10. After, that, whatever tickles your rainbow.
