We all know someone that’s whipped. Face it, whether it’s you or your best friend or that kid you see in the hallway every single day. You know someone that’s girlfriend has got him wrapped around her finger so tightly that it’s turning purple. I’m not going to lie, I think that’s hysterical. That a guy can change everything about himself for one girl. Either that’s true love, or just complete stupidity. Believe me, I know, because some of my best guy friends are totally whipped. They do every and any little thing that their girl asks them to do. I know the situation DOES happen the other way around, but you have to admit, it never appears that way. If a guy has a girl whipped, it more or less looks like that the guy is treating the girl bad. It’s never “That girl is whipped”, it’s always “He treats her so bad”. I’m sure there’s instances of it the situation where the guy has the girl whipped, I’ve just never witnessed it, and if I probably did, I was probably one of those people that said “He treats her bad”. I understand doing nice things for your girl, like walking with her to class and sitting with her at lunch, but there’s a certain place you have to draw the line. See, when it gets to the point where she FORBIDS you to talk to one of your best friends (male or female), that’s a little extreme. Or when he has to delete every phone number of every other female he’s ever met or even glanced at. That’s where I think intervention is required. But then in some cases, the poor guy is so brainwashed that he denies any of that. I really think people should treat relationships more like extended friendships in high school, because in school, nothing’s meant to last. So, here’s this poor guy who drove off all of his friends while dating psycho-crazy control freak girl, and one day she up and leaves him. What’s he left with? A bunch of memories and no friends. That sounds great. It’s always the greatest joke when you can look at someone who’s entirely absorbed in their significant other’s life, and then the next week they’re broken up. It’s like they walk around like zombies. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making fun of breakups, or relationships, because I know breakups are awful to go through. I’m just saying that people in high school get so wrapped up in a little high school romance that once it’s over…they’re pretty much just lost. I can’t say I’ve ever become completely absorbed with another human being. I’ve been really involved with people, but I’ve never devoted every millisecond of every breath of my day to them. That’s just….too extreme for high school. And you know what, I may not be dating anyone right now, but I’m probably one of the few people that can stand here and say that I’m still friends with all of the people I’ve ever been in a relationship with, mainly because I don’t obsess with them and creep them out. I still stay friends with that person, no matter what. I’ve never walked around like a zombie, and I probably never will. I always but friendship before romance, because this is the way I see it: Your boyfriends or girlfriends will come and go and you’ll fall in and out of love with them, but your BEST FRIEND will always be there for you. You’re always going to love your best friend, no matter what happens in your life. Maybe people should start dating their best friends…..
