Morality, Overheard

I overheard a conversation between two women or roughly my age, maybe a tad older. One was counseling the other on whether or not she should date a married man. Her arguments were that she was being used as entertainment, if he really cared about her he'd commit to her and leave the wife, she'll be left alone with nothing at the end of all this, she's wasting her time with this guy because it will all be for nowt and if he'll cheat on his wife he'll cheat on her.

It sort of hit me like a box of rocks - and I wanted to turn around and join this conversation to discuss my hypothesis. The reason women in their thirties date married men is because it's generally not a lot different from the dating scene anyway! You can apply pretty much all those statements in full or in substantial part to the over 25 dating scene. So, from a purely amoral perspective - there's no reason in the world for a single woman in her thirties to not date a married man because odds are the relationship will end up with the same result if not for the same identical reasons.

Of course, had the argument been it's morally wrong, then you'd have me there. I'm certainly not advocating adultery or being a mistress but honestly, girls, you get treated the same irregardless.

In other news, I rawk! I'm presenting all week and today was the first day of presentations to what was billed as a hostile crowd. Even I thought it was going to be hostile. But M, K and I are so freaking gooooooooood that we disarmed and had a fantastic fun meeting. No hostility at all because we had an answer for every possible concern. The little smarmy consultant I don't like was there as well and he was gobsmacked at the ease of which I handled this crowd. Bah ha!
