Interested in knowing who would pick you for sexy time and who wouldn't? Try the "Smash or Pass" game! Where you throw out all self-respect and find out who would love to have an oh-so memorable night with you solely based off of what you look like! It's one of the greatest games of all time via social network! Free of charge! UGH.
For those that don't know, social networks have granted access to a popular game: "Smash or Pass". I noticed the game being played some time ago on my Facebook page. "LMS for Smash or Pass", or "Inbox a number for smash or pass". The name of the "game" is a pretty direct explanation for the expectations of the game. Enter a number or like a status, and await the results. Commonly used as an excuse for boredom, this "game" presents more conflicts than fun and entertainment, but it's probably unnoticed. As badly as people would like to blame the person dishing out the responses to the participants, the participants provide a majority of the damage. What does this say about the game? That someone doesn't have enough self-respect or esteem, and finding out if someone would have sex with them or not dictates the type of physical attraction they possess. Is being desirable (sexually) that infatuating? Are the opinions of the people in which the participants await that significant? And if you're that bored to where that's your game of choice, then an expansion of hobbies and interests is needed, immediately!
I mean, you may as well play "Spin the Bottle" or "Seven Minutes in Heaven". Neither of which I was asked to play...effects of not being popular I guess, or fear for the wrath of my parent (which I'd GLADLY avoid because that woman is crazy)! "Smashing" or "passing" is pretty juvenile, in my opinion. I asked a younger person why they played the game, and they responded "I don't know. I get bored". "Nothing else to do?" I asked. "Yeah, but, everyone else plays it..." PAUSE. "Everyone else plays it"? Note that this response speaks highly of someone unwilling to be different and resorts to fitting in. That's where that infamous question comes in: "So if everyone else was jumping off of a bridge, you would too?!!!" I know a lot of people have heard that one. And what happens if the response you receive is a "pass"? You become angry because you were rejected? Shrug it off and move along? Sink into depression because you just didn't make the cut?
I could be taking it too seriously because it's "just a game", but, it's not a game I'll ever be eager to play. I'm not defined by your rate or your decision to "smash" or "pass" me- especially if I'm not worried about you to begin with. I'm probably on the "parental" or "old head" side now, but if you disagree, I'd like to know why you play the game if you do. And why someone else's opinion (that you're not interested in) matters. The most important rate should be the one given to self, right?
With realness,
