Which line is worse?

[MarlowBunny]

A gal complained that guys she likes romantically always "want to be friends."

I observed that all teenage boys are very familiar with the evil "friend zone," and she had my sympathy.

Then we discussed to "I'm not ready to commit now" zinger.

So which is worse?
"I only want to be friends."

- or -

"I'm not ready to commit now"

I vote for te latter because there is more invested by that point.

I suppose it depends what you want.
For me I say "I only want to be friends is worse."
Why? well simply that to get to the not ready to commit line means that you have at least scored so I think something is better than nothing.

"Friends" is worst. It indicates that the relationship is dead in the water. Not only isn't the person going to commit to you, but they actually want you to stick around as a "friend" and watch them go out with others. So you're going to be constantly reminded that they don't find you attractive.

Not-ready-to-commit means that they might find you attractive, just not "mate" material. So, at least you'll get the ego stroke that there's chemistry between the two of you--and maybe you'll get some sex and a chance to change their minds about that. Even if you don't, "not ready" lets you walk off rather than feeling obligated to stay "friends" and watch them go out with others.

Which is worse?

"Honey, I've been fucking strangers on the side for two years, but I don't even remember their names."

- or -

"Honey, I've fallen in love with my coworker over the last two years, but we haven't consummated our love yet."

Which is worse?

"honey, I've had herpes for years, I never knew how to tell you."

"Honey, I think you should get checked for gonorrhea. I might have picked it up last week."

Herpes is incurable. Gonorrhea is. Therefore, the first is worse.

or

"Honey, I've licked more pussy than a cat with kittens."

Which spouse is saying it to which spouse?

"Honey," he said to his wife, "I've licked more pussy than a cat with kittens" will get a very different response than "Honey," she said to her husband, "I've licked more pussy than a cat with kittens."

In this particular instance, the context matters.

Well yeah! The wife saying it would get a far better reaction from me and any other guy.

However a guy saying I've laid more pipe than... would probably be the end of most relationships.

Guy=pipe.

Gal=pussy.

That makes it even more problematic.
