LOL @ the author making her drunken make out session at the bar seem like some romantic love story.

As a guy, I have drunkenly made out with women at bars. I never had any intention of seeing them afterward (or even exchanging numbers!).

LOL I wondered where the follow up acticle is. I think she was irrisponsible and disrespectful to her BF. This is whats wrong with people, she was flattered by his inital attraction just like she as with her BF but this guy was hot so apperantly cheating with her BF not 10 ft away is ok ugh

I was thinking about doing a paragraph-by-paragraph rewrite of the article to say what she really meant. I don't have the time to do that today though.

In the middle of Czechoslovakia, I had a revelation. What I felt in those few precious moments outside with Jack were things I did not feel for Tim. [...] I deserved to experience that spine tingling passion with someone
The grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it?
You'd think people would have learnt that at her age. Not that her relationship with Tim was doing great though...

Funny though to see how women justify cheating in the comments section, I suppose most men are just less naive about cheating and don't have to adopt a split personality to actually accept it.

What bothers me is that if a guy wrote this exact same thread he would have been char boiled alive

What I thought I would be doing didn't take long at all. Here is my rewrite of her story:

I was in Prague with my boyfriend at the time. His name is Tim. He was a 36 year old architect who made a good living and was generally considered the life of the party. I was a 38 year old with a modest job but I want to inflate my value so I’ll refer to myself as a “PR executive.” We’d been dating for a year and a half and he was flamboyant and the life of the party type. That suited me fine because he was so likeable. I have terrible self-esteem and so badly want to be noticed. Being around him got me attention even if it was often only vicariously. In the night in question, I was not getting Tim’s attention. My God, the whole trip to this point was too much about taking in the sites and enjoying the city. What about me? Hello, I want the attention. Any way, we were at this bar and after nagging him for hours and being obnoxiously drunk, he started talking to a foreign exchange student just to get the hell away from me. Can you imagine? What an *kitten* he was that night.
In my drunken stupor, I wanted to get revenge on Tim for ignoring me. As I was coming out of the bathroom from throwing up, I ran into this guy who had only a slight beer gut and most of his hair. He seemed so tall and strong and confident. Although, on further reflection, he looked me eye-to-eye so he was probably around 5’6” tall.

Any way, back to the events with my revenge guy: I took his hand and led him out the building. He began to pull away but I used my drunken feminine wiles to lure him outside. (Yep, I cried a lot and screamed at him.) Once outside, he began to say, “hey lady. Who the hell are you?” but before he could finish I moved in for a kiss. I think I fell to the side as I began to vomit again. I really hope I missed that poor man’s shirt, or jeans, or shoes. At this point, the jerk of a man tossed me to the ground and went back inside. I really wanted to stay out there with him for hours. After all, the earth was spinning really fast and I need someone to hold my hair while I was vomiting uncontrollably.

After 2 hours, okay, it was really only 2 or 3 minutes, Tim came out to see if I was okay and to take me back to the hotel to recover. He was so rude. The entire cab ride home he lectured me about my immaturity. Can you believe that? The next afternoon when I woke up, I let him have it. How dare he not focus entirely on me?

Things weren’t the same after that. He was just unpleasant and condescending the rest of the trip. That drunken kiss with the jerk that left me passed out in the parking lot of the bar, made me realize that Tim was not right for me. As much as I liked being around the life of the party, it was clear that I had chosen wrong and needed to focus on meeting the right guy for me. Okay, Tim dumped me in the hotel the next afternoon and I cried for months but that doesn’t really make me sound enlightened and empowered now does it? Please Tim, read the version and I actually posted and call me to tell how crazy I am. I really, really, really just want to hear your voice one more time. Even if it is to tell me to stay the hell away from you and that I am the craziest of all your exes.

She had a revelation "in the middle of Czechoslovakia"? That country ceased to exist over 20 years ago. How stupid can you be to not even know what country you're visiting? Amazing.

Thank you. I won't tell my girlfriend. Is that smiley face contagious? It looks like it is getting chicken pox in real time?

Well, her favorite place in Boston is "Nathaniel Hall." What do you expect?

Dbright, thanks for the other version -- it was so much more entertaining!

One of the best moments of my life was when I was at a bar. This couple I sorta knew was there too. My friend and I noticed him making out on the dance floor with another girl. Just then his girlfriend noticed came up and slapped him. It was hysterical. We still talk about it.
