Guys’ trips are an interesting phenomenon. The guys get scheming and planning, giggling about things like a bunch of schoolgirls, while their significant others get all in a snit. I tend to go on a lot of guy’s trips and it is never totally kosher with my lady at the time. I’ve tried different strategies for making my woman at ease with the situation…it never works. So I’ve decided to write a letter that would apply to any girlfriend, from any boyfriend, while in flight to a guy’s ski trip to Colorado. My newly single close pal is sitting next to me on the plane, 5 vodkas deep. Occasionally the single guy mentality snuck into the letter, it is probably obvious where that happened.
Dear <insert girl’s name>,
I am thrilled completely distraught that I have to spend time away from you. I will be counting the minutes of complete freedom joyously until you are in my arms again. In fact, as I write this, I am scoping the flight for young ladies sulking in my airplane seat wishing I stayed home.
<insert girl’s name>, I have looked at my phone pics of you naked smiling at me, and it makes me sigh with longing. I am going to research extending my stay getting a flight home earlier, so we can be together that much sooner. If I can’t re-book my flight, know that I am getting absolutely dieseled on my last night going to be thinking about our joyous reunion.
I am looking at the beautiful sunset over the Rockies, thinking of the double black diamond slopes wishing you were here. I’d love to join the mile high club with you right now (no dissent from single pal). I will do my best to get drunk all night and ski all day focus on skiing and not how much I miss you.
I love you,
<insert your name>
Dude, I didnt know this is how guys really feel. Wow.
