I went to prom twice, and it took to the end of my first one to come to the greatest realzation about prom that I thought was possible, knowing full well that there are greater things to be revealed in just knowing this simple fact. It's ALL about the girls. There, no getting around it, so I said it. Prom is literally, entirely, and there's no denying it from those asked, all about the girls. Guys, shit, I'll be honest, I'd just as soon be at the dentist or the doctor or in jury duty as be at the prom. For me, at least, the prom represented nothing more than a glorfied dress-up contest. I mean seriously, all prom was, to me, a time for girls to look their absolute best, with months of emotional, physical and fiscal preparation being put on the line, so that a "dream evening" might take place. This is almost every girl that goes to prom fantasy "I'm a princess, everyone look at me, not her, not the guy who's certainly almost unwillingly attatched to my arm" night. All I was hoping for at the end of the evening were these things 1) get me outta this fucking monkey suit before I gag myself, 2) get her outta that dress before I bust-a-nut inside the monkey suit, 3) I wonder if there's any money left in my bank account after this wild foray into the life of high-spending? Seriously, these were the thoughts that were running through my head while the evening was going on. Now maybe, I'm just a nerd or an insensitive jerk, and will be called so in later posts, but man. I just didn't care, because I knew it was all about her, the guys are just there for a black background for the girls to gab to each other how much they like the other's dress, (knowing full well that they hate each other's dresses, that the dress makes the girl look like shit or something along those lines). It's a precursor to marriage, its an initiation for the guys who are there with the girl to be prepared to spend money on the opposite sex for the rest of your life.
