Okay ladies, so I know you have missed me....and I am sorry for the lag...things have been crazy busy and I've been trying out this new DATING OPTIMISM thing for a bit based on this book I read called "Meeting your Half-Orange". PGPB seems a bit non-dating optimism so I was trying to rock my bad orange self...but tonight I just have to vent.
So good or bad thing, I've let the NYC man back into my life. First off, this was totally by my choice and after rethinking a few things....in particular realizing that my life was insane a few weeks ago and had I even wanted to, I would have had absolutely NO TIME to text/call him. Suddenly, I began to get that maybe I was in fact not dealing with a Cobra, but an actual guy with a LIFE....which sadly, I have not encountered in the wild until now.
We had been texting, calling and emailing a bit and I decided out of pure boredom and sadness over filling out my census (and realizing after PERSON 1, I was pretty much DONZO) to make him an Easter basket. I made a trip to the dollar store and mailed it off on Monday. On Wed morning, I texted him to ask him if he had seen the movie UP! because I wanted to ask him about an Adeventurebook...as soon as he got my text, he called me. This is 8 am. Nearly in tears, he explains that the reason that he hasn't called or anything is because he is going through some stuff personally (which he explained to me, but I won't air out here on my blog) Anyway, it totally made sense and I was suddenly very happy that I HAD been crazy and sent him a box of goodies.
He gets it and we start the text/call ping pong. Basically, we are the two busiest people on the planet and so trying to get us both in the same place at the same time is nearly impossible. So it takes us from last Thursday when we spoke for 10 min after he opened the box, until today (a week later) to finally catch up to each other. We talk for nearly an hour , he tells me the jelly beans were really yummy, and then when we are getting ready to hang up, I say, "I miss you"
He replies-"Why do you have to say things like that?"
(Definitely not the response I was looking for!) So I say, "Okay well then, I don't miss you." And then it just gets awkward. He's tired. I'm tired. And I decide it's not worth ruining the conversation over so somehow I get him to laugh about some other things and then we hang up cordially.
Here's what I think is funny about this. Does this guy really think that I am that dense to think that he has been texting me back and forth and scheduling and rescheduling a phone conversation with a girl nearly 2500 miles away so that he could tell me they were YUMMY JELLY BEANS!!! Buddy, I already know that you miss me too! I realize you are a stupid guy so you can't come out and say it because it might destory the whole I DON'T CARE BUT I REALLY CARE thing you have going on....but really guy....you have a busy enough life full of drama right now. Do you really think for two seconds that I believe that you spent all that time this past week trying to reconnect with me over that?
So at first I hang up the phone REALLY upset because it didn't at all go the way I wanted it to. And I'm sad and being a stupid girl. Telling myself all the stupid girl stuff. And then I wake up...I'm like- "Oh, no guy! You are so not getting away with this! I am calling your bluff."
I send him a text that says (keep in mind first rodeo is an inside joke between us because I have used part of this line before):
"LUCKY FOR YOU THIS IS NOT MY FIRST RODEO. U DIDN'T SPEND A WEEK TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH ME OVER YUMMY JELLY BEANS. I DO MISS YOU. I ENJOY BEING WITH YOU. UR HANDSOME. THE SECOND YOU WANT ME GONE- JUST TEXT "GONE" TO THIS #. OTHERWISE, STOP RAINING ON MY PARADE AND LET ME JUST PRETEND I GOT AN HOUR OF YOUR DAY CUZ YOU THINK I'M SPECIAL."
Should be pretty interesting to see his response in the morning. But seriously guy....back and forth for a week....and you don't miss me. Okay pal.
It's a rough road ladies, but we have to stay strong and smart. Even the good guys to try see what games they can pull. In the end it will be our wit and our persistance I believe that seperates us from the rest.
I think at this point, this guy knows, I mean business and to cut the crap. I'm onto him.

Johnny GOOD GUY
LMAO--okay I'm officially the most funny person ever.
Was thinking about the previous question posed by a guy about how Johnny from Cobra Kai ends up being a good guy in the end.
Perhaps there are some very rare cases where a Cobra Kai COULD by some strike of lightening become a good guy.
We shall call these men in the Johnny Good Guy rehabilitation program. And remember, any dude who has been to rehab can relapse. So it's never a full conversion.

DBCM
Okay- we are famous. Received this email from a guy...totally hilarious! Had to share!
I had to share this with you. I think you'll appreciate it :)
A couple years ago, my little sister was on a dating spree and it seemed she could only attract guys who just wanted sex, were hung up on their ex-girlfriends, were liars, cheaters, or all the above. She would lovingly refer to them as "douche bags". So in joking around and making fun of these guys, we came up with a little club that they would all be a part of, without them knowing of course. The club is called the Douche Bag Club for Men, or the DBCM. We even designated one guy as the president, since he was the first "douche bag" and the biggest one lol
Also- another guy emailed me and said that some Cobra Kais can change their ways. He pointed out that Johnny becomes a good guy in the end. Not so sure about that theory. What's your take ladies???

Karate Kid Beer Time Interviews
Two of us have decided that are going to start interviewing candidates for our Karate Kid Dating Referral service for PGPB Mafia members. You can let us know if you have someone in mind.
We will be doing the interviews over beers two days a week. Then we will determine who from the PGPB Mafia is the best candidate for the referral or just invite them out on the next PGPB great adventure.
We are also thinking of going on a PGPB cruise this summer...3 days or something. One of those under $200 deals. Of course, only Karate Kids would be invited...however some Cobras may be on the boat.
BTW- great moment in PGPB Mafia history....my friend called today and said her gay friend is reading our blog and hadn't decided if the guy he is dating is going to work out or not- because he isn't sure if he is a Cobra Kai.
AWESOME!!! This is a revolution for sure :)
Email us if you have Karate Kid Beer Time candidates: pgpbmafia@gmail.com
They need to submit a picture.

The Good Guys...
Decided to take my "Good Guy" friends advice and start just doing things I like to do and see who comes my way.
Went to basketball on Sunday night at the park which is organized by pretty much the biggest Karate Kid I know- Greg. He of course had already told all this friends that I was "single" so it was like being a filet in a shark tank a little bit.
My friend Jenn had a similiar experience when she joined a bowling league. She had two guys who were friends, kind of fighting over her.
What's really cute is how good guys are when they are interested in you. I think that's my favorite distinction from the bad guys. The good guys are willing to kind of not look as cool.
Example 1- one of the guys from basketball sees me online and starts asking me if I know how to bake. Well, pretty much anyone who knows me, knows I love to bake, so I knew he already knew that. So he says he has a potluck at work on Thurs and wants to bake something from scratch and can I help him. Seriously cute. What Cobra Kai guy would think of something like that?

Cobra Kai Identification Program
So the guy who had gone MIA on me for no reason for over 2 weeks- calls me last night at midnight on a Sunday acting all friendly like I am supposed to just ROLL WITH IT. Oh, this could not be done. Cobra Kai had to be told that he was Cobra Kai.
Here is how the conversation went:
ME: "Oh hey! Thanks for calling, but just so you know, I can't talk to you anymore."
Guy: "Huh? Why?"
ME: "Because you are Cob...ra Kai."
Guy: "Huh? You mean like in Karate Kid?"
ME: "Yep."
I really think that girls need to start telling men who are Cobra Kai that they are just that. Why beat around the bush? Why let them think for a minute or pretend for 30 seconds that they are good guys? They aren't. They don't deserve to look in the mirror and think they are Karate Kid guys...that should be reserved for the guys who really are GOOD AND DECENT DUDES.
Therefore- I'm on a mission and I hope that more of you ladies will join me in just putting this thought into these guys heads. With the number of head games that Cobra Kai men have played on women over their lifetimes...I'm sorry, but I don't think it is mean or cruel to make them think a little about why they are Cobra Kai.
So be sure to NOT explain it to them. Just simply identify them and let them know they are CK. It's probably the closest thing to developing a conscience that these dudes will get.
And by the way- this is not a man hater site. We love our Karate Kids and we would fight for them to the death.

Warning- Crazy Conversion
One thing I have noticed that guys try to do (usually Cobras) is that they attempt to play head games to normally laid back and level headed women, I think to see if they can make us crazy like the rest of the drama mamas.
Ladies- we have to fight back on this one. Just like if you had someone in your office go crazytown in a meeting- you wouldn't get all emotional and break down- we have to remain objective and recognize what is going on. Homeboy is trying to convert you to demonstrate his power as a Cobra Kai.
To best avoid this- I recommend calling a friend who is a member of the PGPB Mafia or better yet a Karate Kid. While a friend can be supportive and offer you some good advice, I don't think we really believe our own intuition that we aren't off our rocker with a convert to drama mama attempt until we discuss with a Karate Kid. A Karate Kid will help you to see- a) that you aren't crazy b) that the guy is playing head games with you and c) that you should have a beer and call it a day or move on.
My most recent experience with this was this guy I was talking to who was trying to make me think that I had "high expectations" and was "demanding" because I wanted to hear from him more often. The guy used excuses of being too busy due to his job.
I referenced the help of two Karate Kids in my life from two different social circles and they both said BS. 1) If a guy wants to talk to you, he makes the time. And 2) My expectations for more frequent communication were not me being a crazy psycho path.
This is why it's important that you as part of your development make sure that you have at least 5 Karate Kid guys in your life as friends. You are going to need them when these types of moments come up to keep you grounded and keep you from being converted to a DRAMA MAMA.
Resist the urge to react.
Instead- get objective.
