Editorial: Who's Playing Who?

Okay, first things first- if the majority of my readers really want me to stop posting these little personal updates on the weekends, I'll certainly stop. The only reason I do it in the first place is because my virtua-diary got a gigantic response late last year, but I know things can get old. I always focus on gaming for my Week in Review, but really, if you're all sick of my mini-dramas, I'll just stop. I'm no attention whore (never have been; hate the idea), and I don't mind letting you guys into my life here and there, but I know some people may get bored. So just let me know.

Now, moving on. You can read previous features over the past few weeks to get up to speed but as a quick refresher, we're dealing with Ms. Amy and Ms. Courtney (no, not their real names, although the first letter of each is correct); both of whom seem to have struck a friendly deal that they each "get a shot" at me, and I'm allowed to select which one gets the prize. ...I try to make this sound optimistic and all bad-ass and stuff, but those who may be familiar with the situation know just how precarious it really is. Ms. Courtney was the first who showed interest, then Ms. Amy popped into the picture and the two made this completely abnormal and suspicious deal. I know everyone wants to know what they look like, but really, the best I can do is to have you picture pretty, professional ladies in their late '20s; all kinda "Sex and the City"-like. One's a broker; the other is an insurance executive (I live in CT, after all). Both have similar body types (slender, average height, etc.), but Ms. Courtney is blonde and Ms. Amy has auburn hair.

Now, just to get this out there- I've already slept with Ms. Amy (yeah, that's right...I told you I'd write it for everyone to see, "Ms. Amy!"), which I figured would be the end of the deal. I figured that despite their supposed "deal," Ms. Courtney would just snap and that'd be it. No. Actually, she wanted effing details. Then she just wanted to make sure she still "had a chance," and once again confirmed a date for the middle of this past week. I talked to Arnold and we both admit to being confused, although he's insistent on bringing up the "threesome" possibility. I refuse to go with that, but we do agree that at this point, I'm little more than a marionette and there's really no way to escape the eventual talons. However, I didn't get to see Ms. Courtney this week because I had a root canal that day and I really wasn't in the mood to do...well, anything. But she remains insistent. And now that I postponed that, both want to meet me for drinks at Ultra 88 (club at Mohegan Sun) at 11:00 p.m. tomorrow night. That's right, chickadees; this sh** is public now. If you try to kidnap me and toss me into a dungeon of torture somewhere, I gots peeps backin' me up.

...uh...you guys are backing me up, right? Anyway, I'm thinking I should just stop the insanity and tell Ms. Courtney that although every man likes the idea of sleeping with two hot chicks without either getting pissed, the risk is too great. Ms. Amy is great and we had fun. So...go with Ms. Amy? Yes? Or is it wrong, as Ms. Courtney initially asked for my number in the first place?

Scary sh**.

And just so people realize I DO have some sensitivity, I turn your attention to an excerpt from Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain," winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1927. It's one of my favorites:

"To try to make a clear-cut distinction between the passionate and the soulful - that would, no doubt, be analytical. The subject is so equivocal, the limits so fluctuating. We make bold to laugh at the idea. Is it not well done that our language has but one word for all kinds of love, from the holiest to the most lustfully fleshly? All ambiguity is therein resolved: love cannot but be physical, at its furthest stretch of holiness; it cannot be impious, in its utterest fleshliness. It is always itself, as the height of shrewd 'geniality' as in the depth of passion; it is organic sympathy, the touching sense-embrace of that which is doomed to decay. In the most raging as in the most reverent passion, there must be 'caritas.' The meaning of the word varies? In God's name, then, let it vary."

Ben,

Man, Two things to say.

1) Hang on and enjoy the ride (pun NOT intended)!

2) Allow things to unfold as they do, and don't try to shape things, women have a way of avoiding our attempts to shape anything. Which of course brings us back to 1)

We got your back, but well you seem like a reasonable guy and even though I hate it to death: I am too. As much as my good friend in my pants tries to get me to do scandalous things I always find myself doing the right thing anyway. The right thing here is, despite anything that happened before, to go exclusively with the woman you see any kind of future with. It doesn't have to be marriage, but just a future. If it's neither, then just pick the one that best suits your type, or pick niether.

On a sidenote: I've never heard of this kind of "deal" and it worries me, usually a girl gets dibs, just like we get dibs and then everyone has to back off. Something here is twisted and all you can do is play it like a game: try to survive.

We got your back, babes can be a lot of trouble :X

You know, I'm actually trying to decide which babe to go far at the moment too...No neither knows I like 'em, but both hint at liking me. One is super hot....and has a way of mesmerizing me. The other one is really cool and friendly, but not sure she can be more than a friend...

The problem is that the "hotter" one would take more maintenance and more pressure to "keep happy" than the "simpler" one. It's weird though, generally I'd go for the friendlier one...but I don't know what's wrong with me.

---------------
On your story bit:
Man it's pure win, I don't know why, but unlike most I really like this situation or the drama of it. These two girls are wild/interesting. If it was me I don't know...I might "try out" both lol. But yeah, just be careful man, these two are "friends"......

Pick whatever one you like the best, If it's not Ms. Courtney its her fault for hooking you both up in the first place. You could also just sleep with them both then pick whatever one that's better in the sack. who knows they might of planned this from the beginning so they could get in a threesome. Just a little heads up the sex and the City chicks are kinda ugly.

Also, I don't mind if you post stuff like this it's a nice little bonus. And I got your back if/when the kidnap you, unless its like a sex dungeon and you don't wont to be found.

Check this out: I take my dog to this vet's office regularly right, and the vet must be a pervy cuz ALL his vet techs are cute young girls. And they all seem to act strangely around me and I'm trying to decide which one to go for. All different types and I know they all talk like hens in a henhouse to each other but I very much need to make a decision of which one to hit on because if I do it to all of em (besides the basic flirting I always do) they will probably all just forget about me as a sleaze.

Theres shy-not-as-hot-but-very cute girl, theres young-inexperienced-willing-to-please girl, tall-popular-girl, and athletic-perky-all around sexy girl. That's my pickle, really grinds my gears that I have exactly 1 shot at this.

haha, I wonder if Ben remembered I too live here in Connecticut...

Good thing I don't have plans!
So, Mohegan Sun tomorrow night?
ahhhahahahahaha! nah, just kidding Ben, I'm not a fan of the casinos; less a fan of huge crowds, and chain smoking old ladies.

Personally, I think you should go with whoever seems the most sane. A persistant girl might seem like she's into you and all, but you gotta remember, women are actually viciously competitive with each other, especially when they both want the same thing... Either for practical reasons or just spite and jealously. Nice, sane, good women are hard to come by, if the "amy" persona is that, go with it.

Remember a situation like this can be delicate. So proceed with caution, and medical insurance! LOL Or hell, get that suit of armor seen in our lottery commercials.

Lastly, I know this perhaps seems silly, but you could let things pan out to a Mass Effect finale. Mrs. Evil Alien Hating Bitch Williams vs Sweet Loving Squidy Head Liara. Course then, you're either left to decide, or suggest a threesome as Arnold has, and watch the evil of the two walk away. Then again, it could pan out and you lose both.

Again... Proceed with caution. Especially with women here in CT... They're cold blooded imo.

btw, nothing wrong with personal life stuff. Some people will read, others won't. Sure, it's a gaming website, but we know who the guy behind the name is because of it.

Yeah, of course they know. Remember the first feature that started all this; "Gamer Stuns Gal Crowd"? I'm like an exotic or some sh**. Big gamer who doesn't look or act like a gamer (if gamers "act" and "look" a certain way).

So you've never been down to the club at the Sun? Ultra 88 is pretty cool. RIDICULOUSLY hot chicks in there sometimes, but as you say, CT chicks can be ruthless. As for which one seems the most sane...I really have no idea. Both are loopy as far as I'm concerned.

Ben, I admire your position. Two women interested in you is a brain tease of the century. To answer you question, It comes down to your morales. I believe you already know the answer and have made the right choice. The key to happiness is no drama with the added drama how can you really have fun. When your with the other girl can you honestly say your having a goodtime or are you thinking how the other women is thinking about it. The key topic in your post was wen the other wanted details of your sexual encounter with the other. This in my opinion is either a setup for the 3 some that you tossed out because of moral issues or she is interested in you a a friend. You already chose when you decided to be with Ms Amy. Morality is the answer to this drama.

Honestly, I think you're so worried about it all that you're making the whole thing into a much bigger drama than it really is.

Just go with it and see where things lead. Stop over analyzing it. Stop fretting. Stop waiting for everything to explode.

I think you're so afraid that it's going to go bad that you're pretty much going to force it down that path.

From what you've described, you're already making decisions based on fear.

Perhaps you should try being positive about all this. And look at the opportunities you have for what they really are.

It's good fortune if you'll let it be.

nothing wrong with your stories, its not like you post about it every other article. But if it gets serious with one of these girls or another one, you might have to take into consideration of what you have wrote, especially if its a totally different girl.

As long as you protecting the package, i say you are good to go. Still, id kinda hate to have these kinda issues. At least thats what im obligated to say since my wife would kill me. And while im at it, shame on you mr dutka ( had to throw that in there since my wife would kill me otherwise...)

If you are getting on fine with Ms.Amy, then you should tell Ms.Courtney you have made your decision. Although I would still nose around for that elusive menage a trois. Hell, they seem willing to share you...

Dude... not to be an ass or anything, but man the F up!! You don't have to make a decision unless THEY push for it! So until that time comes, go with the flow. What an awesome situation!! lol

Ben "The Prize" Dutka... No sarcasm intended, just due respect.
Mr. Dutka, you have enough commonsense to pull this off I'm sure.
Maybe you should just relax and try to let things happen as they would, its all out of your control for as long as you are in it.
I'm a short drive away from you, in NYC, so if I hear something in the news I will add my efforts to the search LOL.

I think Ben is past the stage of "letting it fall into place". You've slept with one, but the other still wants a piece of the action...which rarely occurs. I say go out with Ms. C and do your business. After, see what Ms. A thinks about it and how crazy, jealous one or the other gets, then choose the less crazy one. lol

And for those of you saying I should just "go with the flow," that's what I've BEEN doing. But "going with the flow" is essentially the same as being a marionette; in both cases, you are being pulled at by a force stronger than you. One has strings; one has water. Big diff. ;)

But we'll have to see what happens tonight. I still can't understand why I have to meet BOTH of them for drinks, and why - given what she knows - Ms. Courtney hasn't just decided to opt herself out of the situation. I don't particularly WANT her to, but maybe it'd be a lot easier... I despise being clueless, that's all.

Oh well. At the very least, I want Ms. Amy back for another night. Or Ms. Courtney for the first night. Or WHATEVER. ...'runs away'

Again, CT women we're talking about. Seemingly educated ones at that, making them more like pit vipers than rabid dogs. Personally, I see it as, they get you in the middle, both are mooching on you (once they've had enough to drink), they'll let some slanderous comments slip out against the other. Then one will eventually break, it'll be a full blown cat fight (most likely verbal only, unless one is seceretly Xena)... Meanwhile you're stuck in the middle, most likely just to see how they're willing to fight for you, and that one of them is more mature than the other. Least... That's a possibility.

The other is that these two are both bi of some sorts, and using you to get to the other... In which case... Make sure your cellphone can record videos. kthxbai! lol Personally I hated having a bi gf though! Both are loopy though eh... I hope that's a good loopy! :P

And I've only been to Mohegan Sun once. I went up there with some family a few years ago. Spent most of my time in the shopping area, bored to death.

Hopefully tonight proves useful. In my personal experience, women also like guys to know what they want, and be decisive. It seems to me, the Courtney one wants you to want her. I mean, otherwise for her it's all rejection "what'd I do wrong?" For the Amy one, it becomes "why's he hanging around this slut trying to steal my guy?" or so that's how I see it. My own male brain can't begin to fathom what will happen tonight, but part of me wishes I could be a fly on the wall to see!

At that, good luck tonight Ben!
I feel you are going to need it!
Better you than me honestly! Granted, I'm not much a fan of single life at 29, but after the last 3 1yr long relationships I was in, I don't think I can handle any more cheating, abuse, lies, more cheating, and yes... more lies.

Oh, the lies and cheating and drama are part of the heady spice that makes up single life. I'm addicted to it. LOL

I really don't think either of these women are bi (although Arnold would want me to believe otherwise). And they are pretty and educated, so they could be more dangerous than normal... But I guess I'll find out something tonight. :)

I didn't know they had a 90210 zip in CT.

Seriously, these women sound like they want/like drama. If C steals you away from A then imagine the pride she would feel. Or perhaps that's what A has already done and C thinks she's wrong and can still have a 'meaningful' relationship with you where A was a one night stand.

For you out there encouraging Ben to 'ride the wave,' that's just bad advice. Ben's a man. He makes decisions. He doesn't ride the wave. That's why this situation is uncomfortable for him. I say make a decision. Sure as heck don't let THEM start telling you what's going to happen.

Ben: You need to ease up a bit. It is good that you can write about your personal life to about 9000 gamers( I can't do that; just dont have the balls) but dont let this get out of hand. Your editorials are entertaining, but please remember this IS a gaming site.

As it stands, we put up about 50 articles per week...if 1 of them has anything to do with me, I don't think that's an abnormal ratio.

And it's probably closer to a few hundred thousand, not 9,000 (those are just registered members). :)

I could swear I saw 9,412 as the the total members on the site's stats. Ben, you should remember this is a gaming site. It is good you write about your personal life because it gets the readers to be more familiar with you, but this is about your 5th or 6th article in the past month or 2 months. We dont need to be too familar with your love life; just ease up. Alienage, it's NOT about the girls, but is about Ben; it's HIS personal life!

Those are members, not visitors. The visitors can easily be over a million on big months.

And this isn't common. According to our database, I'd say about 99.7% of all articles are gaming-related, so I think we're fine.

Ben we got your back. As for making a decision heck I can't make my own decision sometimes on stuff let alone someone else's, all else fails do what I do and flip a coin, sometimes let fate decide is the best answer.

However wait till you have spent the same amount of time with the the other person to break it evenly then decide and if you cant decide then the coin toss comes into play.

Hahahaha..... Man I love this show! Keep posting this kind of stuff Ben. From time to time that is. It is very interesting to see what the different people have in mind....

Now for what I would do:

1- Go for the threesome....Worth the risk I say.

2- If you feel uncomfortable with that get the 2 of them to have a "f*** off" if you know what I mean. get them to have a go at each other and just watch. See which one seems the most err.... dedicated. The winner takes all. If it's a tie please refer to option 1... (I know that probably a bit insane but h3ll man that will be fun either way)

3- Go for Ms Amy ( seems like you to hit it off pretty well and something just tells me she's the one for you and in the end you only slept with one of them which will show you are the one girl kinda guy which will count in your favor at some point)

4- Go for Ms Courtney as she was the first one to show interest in you and she is the "original" one... But then just know seeing they are friend and you already got "jiggy" with Ms Amy that will always hang over your relationship with Ms Courtney. And you'll still be around Ms Amy once in a while.... trust me that won't be easy to keep it legit.

I know this probably doesn't help but I'd go with option 2.... And maybe 3...
