Boners for the Crazies is a great band name.

So I went out last night with a girl that's 20, and all I could think of after a text came through her phone was this thread. I asked her what she thought about being dumped by text and she said... "Well it would definitely make it easier, and hopefully avoid a lot of possible fighting."

So I guess it's a whole generation (christ, is 6 years really a generation cap?) that accept it.

FWIW, I broke up with a girl in college years ago by IM. But I didn't really give a shit about her, if that helps explain why I did it.

But at least that has some (not much, but some!!!) semblance of a real-time conversation, unlike texts which is severely limited. And it has smileys, so I could really punctuate my remorse with a well-placed ****

I barely use my cellphone - took us forever for my wife and i to finally get 'em (plan was to use them for emergencies like flat tires, etc.). We used to have this neighbor, however, who's daughter seemed to have hers surgically connected to her head. I'd see every night when I came home from work outside chatting away about what a stuck-up bitch this girl was, how hot this guy was, and how her mom pisses her off.

Come by my neighborhood on any night and there's about a dozen teens yakking away on their cellphones outside (weather be damned) until around 9 PM or so.

As for breaking up with someone, Steve Martin said it best - you go up to your sig-o, and say "I break with thee, I break with thee, I break with thee", then throw dog poop on their shoes.

We actually had a good conversation, about if she remembered life without the internet. Not her in particular having the internet at home, but the internet as a whole, and she couldn't think back far enough to an age she knew it existed first, but that "it must have been early elementary."

I guess it's what it was like when people switched to phones from telegraphs. Now instead of smashing your car windows in, they sent you a text. At least it propagates laziness.

But sex with crazy girls is so totally, totally worth it. Sure, they aren't much for conversation. Granted, they may be vile, sadistic creatures with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. However, these things are trumped by one thing: There is absolutely nothing in the realm of sex that a crazy girl will find objectionable. Nothing. You want to get one to two other girls in on the action? That's fine by them. You're free during the last half of spring break? They offer to come over and service you. Bear traps don't do that. No, bear traps are purely bad news for bears.

A bear trap will service you once.

Where the hell did you go to school? Had I known that stuff was going on during Spring Break, I'd have transferred.

You should remember though that crazy girls might one day snap and come after you with a bear trap or two. Or kill and cook your rabbit. Or cut off your John Thomas. Or go after someone you know and love - I knew a guy who told a borderline psycho girl to please be quiet. She wouldn't shut up, so he placed his hand over her mouth and said "shut up". He then went to class and sat down. 30 seconds later, this girl comes running in, shreiking and screaming like he just whacked her dog. Took two teachers to get her out of the class. A few days later, this girl corners the guys' father outside the local grocery store and lets him have it, calling his son every name in the book. The guy told us later his dad remarked the kid should've slugged her.

BTW, we're hearing about psycho girls alot in this thread; do any of you ladies had/have psycho boyfriend stories to share? Just wanted to get all equal and PC like up in this thread, yo.

"John Thomas". So that's what the old timers called the "tally whacker".

Not owning a cell phone would solve the text-breakup problems.

I go to UC Berkeley. We're the finest public university in the world and home to some of the freakiest crazy girls on said world. (The only drawback to the whole thing is that it seems every single fucking hipster from Orange County also goes here. I guess they staved off the urge to buy Hella records, mismatched pairs of socks, and thrift store vests long enough to buy some decent SAT preparation.)

Beg to differ.

Lots of good opinions from Lisa, Bele, etc. who, last time I checked, were ladies of the feminine persuasion. You might've read a few, in fact, yes?

Sorry to knock you off the cloud there, homeslice.

We're smart enough not to admit to our psycho exes.

Maybe it's just me and the things I've noticed about us guys, but we're a lot more kind of stalkerish/get drunk and complain about you. A lot of us make for shitty exes, sure, but the women of the world have the market cornered on batshit crazy things they'll do to you. In my experience, I have never seen a guy key his exes car, but I have seen a girl do it. And yes, I know one example does not a statistic make.

A survey finds that one in seven has broken up with someone by text message or email.

Right, but how many men have gone postal and the story includes "and he recently broke up with his girlfriend"? And you don't see women out there doing that. I've known of men (fortunately none that I personally dated, but those of my friends) who stalked, threatened suicide, shot all their pet dogs, burned down the woman's house...

Also quite true, Beth. I guess we all just crazy! Glad to know you haven't had to deal with any crazy people and that the majority of us (hopefully) have not.

Except for the psycho women that kill their kids...


I think there are some underlining "easier" prey aspects that present us with more male serial killers and more female baby killers.

See, Spunkmeyer? You're topical! And btw, from that article, I would never like to be broken up with a fucking letter. College/grad school rejections letters were enough.

But dammit, at least when we decide to kill ourselves, we have the balls to go through with it more often!!

I'm generalizing, but there is a difference in the way that men and women communicate with each other. And when women break up with men, for the most part they try to explain why. Men tend to not want to deal with the aftermath, so they generally let a bad relationship fester until it self-destructs on its own and/or they purposely become more evasive or hostile toward their girlfriends so that she ends up breaking up with him. I'm betting a lot of these psycho girlfriend stories stem from women who felt used and abused by the guys they were dating. (By the way, I have not read this whole thread so if Chewers posted their story I'm not addressing any of you specifically). If guys had the emotional stability to actually deal with relationship problems head on, they wouldn't have these girlfriends gunning for revenge.
