Pauly has another amusing post today — this time about "dog kissing." And since I always find him inspirational, Pauly got me thinking about the subject of kissing (and not just with dogs).
I miss kissing a lot, although I still try to get in a little kissing with Sophia if I can get her drunk enough. The fact that I like kissing is surprising to me because I’m a bit of a hypochondriac. Kissing is one of God’s greatest inventions, but if you think about it, it’s a germ-filled activity that can get you a cold. Maybe the Eskimos have it right by kissing with their noses. At least it’s sanitary.
Last night, I was watching a Tivo-ed episode of Average Joe, one of those second-rate dating reality shows. This uninspiring girl goes out with one guy after another, seeing which one she likes the best. All the guys are "amazed" with this dull woman. Why are they so amazed? Is it because she seems to have real boobs and they haven’t seen that before?
I would be a terrible reality dating show contestant. Why can’t they ever find a smart woman who’s also beautiful?
This year, Average Joe had a "twist." Some of the nerds were kicked off, then came back after an extreme makeover. All of a sudden, Marlena, or whatever her name is this year, was all hot for the guys because they were now looking good. This time she used the word "amazed" over and over again. All the guys were salivating over the opportunity for a second chance. I was grimacing as one by one, they each sucked up to her by saying how amazing she was. Now I’m as ass-kissy as they come, especially when it comes to wooing a woman, but these guys were making me nauseous. Have some self-respect, guys!
If she picked me, I would say, "Screw you. You didn’t want me before. Now that I got the nose job and a trendy earring, I’m off to meet a woman who didn’t make me feel like a loser the first time."
None of these reality show relationships work out anyway.
If I were on the show, I would spend more time flirting with the female executive producer than the "girl," hoping to work my way into a new job.
Oh, yeah, right… back to kissing. In each episode of Average Joe, the woman goes on several dates with the guys. At the end of each date, it’s inevitable that the couple starts kissing. And it’s always some intense, open mouth kiss that the camera zooms in on.
Now, if I’m on a date with this woman, and I know that two hours ago, on her last date, she was french kissing some other guy, and three hours before that she giving some tongue action with a third guy — am I really going to want to kiss her? It’s not even the fear of catching mono. Maybe it’s me, but I think as I was kissing her, it would feel as if I’m kissing all the other guys — once removed. And that’s just disgusting.
If I just wanted to kiss all the guys, I would just hang out back at the mansion rather than going on a boring date with this dumb chick.
But that’s a whole other reality show.
