Taint - to affect with putrefaction

or

to contaminate morally

or

the area between a man's beans and his poop shoot.

Any definition you use? A woman with any sense is out of there. right? Only? That last sentence is a bit of an oxymoron, don't you think?

It's funny, looking back at a lot of my relationships and looking at a lot of my friends relationships, I can honestly say that "commonsense" isn't a word I'd use, with the exception of "she has none". Relationships that are good for us, and that are... oh, what's that word? HEALTHY. They just don't seem to impress young 20-something women. We get bored. We get tired. We're worse then men. Seriously.

Now, give us a bad guy; one with a motorcycle and a couple of ex-wives. And Tattoos. We love tattoos. A regular neighborhood bar in which everyone knows his name? Dude, we're hooked. We're SO there.

And really? It's sad. The good news is that eventually we do outgrow this stage, or at least most of us do. We remove our heads from our posteriors. We get our act together. We start going to bed at 10 and having a regular cleaning day and we start to get it. We get that what we really want is to be happy and healthy and secure, regardless of whether it's with someone else or just with ourselves. We stop making the obviously-stupid-choice (at least to others) and start making the smart choice. And eventually? We will at least become happy with ourselves.

Who needs tainted love anyway?
