Hey curry bear
I wanted to write about my girlfriend Rupal. She has too many guy friends. Even though our relationship is great I can’t help but feel unsecure. I donno what to do about it. She assures me everythings ok and all her guy friends are just friends. What makes me even more unsecure is that she dorms while I commute to skool. Am I being over-protective and insecure or should I lay back? I really like this girl so I dont wanna screw it all up y’a know. Any advice?
-Don’t wanna leave a name
Dear Uknown Guy,
Thanks for writing to Curry Bear. This is what C-Bear is all about - helping his fellow men/bears with relationship problems.
Let’s reiterate your question - are you being too over-protective or should you lay back a little? Hmmm…how can I put this… Let me ask you a few questions? Should the Spartans have “laid back” when King Xerxes came marching with his army of 10,000+? Should the Power Rangers have “laid back” when Lord Zed attacked the Command Center and the Megazord was destroyed? Should they have ever produced The Matrix sequels? HELL FUCKING NO!
Uknown Guy, what you need to realize is that having a girlfriend is a constant battle. You will constantly be fighting off other men from boinking your woman. Of course, I don’t mean fighting literally. In today’s modern world, you’re fighting guys differently. The whole battlefield has changed. In the old days, a guy spoke to your woman and you had a legitimate reason to kick his ass - no questions asked. If you tried to do that now, you end up looking like an asshole.
Don’t ever become naive and think for a second that any man is not trying to have sex with your woman. Lucky for you, I was able to create a “Pyramid of Who Is Trying To Bang My Girlfriend” (copyright Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother).
Have a look at the pyramid below:
This pyramid will show you which guys to look out for. Let’s start talking about each one starting from the top.
Your Girlfriend’s BFF - This category only applies if her BFF is a guy. Yes, a lot of young girls seem to have this new fad of having a guy best friend. There’s nothing wrong with a guy and girl being friends. But don’t ever become naive and think that her BFF has absolutely no intentions of taking her for a ride like she’s the new Batmobile. If you’re lucky, you may get stuck with a girl whose BFF is gay but that is very rare in the desi crowd. Put yourself in his shoes and think for a second - if you were friends with a girl, wouldn’t you think about getting with her especially if you share so many things in common? If I had a girlfriend, I would rather let her be BFF with a lion than a guy. At least with a lion, he would eat her meat and not the other way around. The way I see it, you should let your girlfriend be friends with guys, but don’t be naive! You are a guy - you should know how all men think.
Your Girlfriend’s Ex-boyfriends - Ex-boyfriends are like X-Men! Freaking mutants! And I’m not talking about the cool mutants like Wolverine or Magneto. I’m talking about the shitty mutants like the Blob and Spyke. If you have a girlfriend who talks to her ex-boyfriends, be very careful. I say this because generally when a couple breaks up, it’s a bad break up and the two never speak again. There is no such thing as a good break up, or unicorns for that matter. A girlfriend who is still “cool” with her ex-boyfriend is a good sign that there is some unfinished business. If the two ever meet again after a long time, especially alone, it’ll be like thunder. According to my “Relationship For Dummies” book, Chapter 7 says that “Ex-boyfriends should be kept away from your girlfriend at all times. Your girlfriend should avoid her ex-boyfriend like he’s the Bubonic plague.”
Guys SHE Hangs Out With - This category basically translates to “Guys Your Girlfriend Hangs Out With When You’re Not Around And You Don’t Know Who They Are”. Even if she’s hanging out with a bunch of guys at a Bible study group, you should not let your guard down. As a man, you should know how other men think and put yourself in their shoes. Ask yourself, “Hey I’m Rupal’s friend and we always hang out at parties. Would I want to have sex with her? Hells yeah!” The only way to fix this issue is by becoming friends with these people. If your girlfriend is keeping you from being friends with them, then this should be a sign that there is something black in your dal. Damn, it doesn’t sound so cool when you say it in English. If she’s OK with you being friends with the guys, then seize the opportunity and show them you’re the Alpha Dog. If they’re smaller than you, you may proceed to kick their ass. I mean, kick their ass in Wii Boxing of course. Shit, you think I promote violence on this site?
Guys Who Constantly Talk To Your Girlfriend - This is a separate category from guys your girlfriend hangs out with. The reason is simple: girls can meet guys online. There were times when people only met in person. Today, guys can find a girl on Facebook and five pokes later, they are having coffee at Starbucks. If that guy Karan keeps IMing your girlfriend the moment she gets online or takes off her away message, then he is no doubt trying to boink her. Hopefully your girl will think of them as “pervs” and won’t talk to them that much. But be careful if your girl is constantly talking to some guy on AIM for hours or writing 20 messages a day on a guy’s wall. These guys are like ninjas. They will silently enter your girlfriends heart and then proceed to throw a ninja star in your heart. Your girlfriend is always looking for guys to talk about her problems, and these guys are the perfect candidates. My advice on this scenario is to either break her laptop or tell Facebook that she is an ex-teacher who had sex with 14-year old boys.
Her Girlfriend’s Guy Friends - This category basically applies to any guys that your girlfriend’s friends know. If you’re not tight with her “girls”, then chances are they don’t like you either. Impressing your girlfriend’s friends is as important as impressing her parents and brushing your teeth every morning. If they don’t like you, they will try to hook her up with one of the guys they know. It gets even worse if the guy they want her to get with likes her back. Seriously Uknown Guy, this is real life and not a Shah Rukh Khan movie. You should not expect love and relationships to be as peachy as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Real relationships are more like Company - meaning that sometimes you just want to kill each other for no reason.
Curry Bear - Now settle down. I don’t mean that, I, Curry Bear am trying to fuck your girlfriend, although I am. But Curry Bear represents all other men you know that are not related by blood to your girlfriend. Yes, all men are trying to fuck your girlfriend. Think of your girlfriend as the twin towers (no, not like that you sicko!). All other men on this planet are terrorists and you are President George W. Bush (with a higher IQ and no false intel from the CIA). What do you do? Sit back and let them keep on attacking or do you attack your enemy? Fending off other guys is a constant battle and is a 24/7 job. Don’t be the guy who thinks his relationship is all lovey-dovey-kiss-kiss when in reality it’s more like “I’m a whore and I’m cheating on you”. I know it’s not a real song, but I couldn’t come up with anything.
Don’t be a fool and get back stabbed. I’ve seen way too many naive guys who come visit their girlfriend in the dorms once in a while and the rest of the time she’s sleeping with the whole floor. But all kidding aside, the most important lesson that you should gather from all this is that you should respect your woman, but also make sure your woman respects you and please don’t become a paranoid mess. Be smart, be cool, be wise and be awesome.
