Feminist Author, Women Should Have A Gaggle Of Men In Their Lives, Not Just One. (CNN BARF)
CNN ^ | June 14 2012 | CNN

Posted on 06/21/2012 8:53:09 AM PDT by trailhkr1

From the articleStop searching for Mr. Right and look around at all the Mr Right(s).

Like the “Gaggle," these three men can fulfill different needs - maybe you like to see movies with one, travel with another and cuddle with a third - which removes the burden of one man to fill all those slots. (Bwahhhaaa this would go over real well)

That’s the premise of "The Gaggle," a new book from Jessica Massa, who, along with Rebecca Wiegand, runs the website “WTF Is Up With My Love Life?!”

According to Massa and Wiegand, every woman - single or not - should have her own gaggle, a group of guys that occupy different roles in her life.

“You probably have a gaggle of friends, who all play different roles and fulfill different needs for you,” explains Massa. “You might call one friend to go shopping versus another friend when you’re upset versus another friend when you need a serious professional opinion. Your romantic gaggle is just another piece of the much larger, long-term puzzle of how you structure the relationships in your life to feel full, happy and loved.”

The men in this gaggle can include anyone from the barista you flirt with, to the ex-boyfriend you Skype, to the work buddy you commiserate with over lunch. Whether you end up dating one or more of them is just an added bonus.

“As a woman, having a gaggle provides you with a love life full of possibility: you have many men in your life, in many ambiguous but enriching ways, who are all teaching you about yourself and your needs and desires and leading you closer to the guy and relationship you want,” say Massa and Wiegand.

Did you mean “fill all those sluts?”

The true definition of hedonism.

It’s all about ME. My needs my desires. My personal fulfillment. I can USE other people.

I can do whatever I want to do. There are no consequences and nobody can tell me otherwise.

Sounds like a good way to end up without anyone.

As with all the other good advise offered to women by feminists, maybe thats the intent.

Hey, look at the bright side.
If the Tramp Stamp and Pin Cushion Brigade keeps three guys busy and entertained, that just leaves more of the normal cool women for the rest of us with less competition!

They write books entitled “WTF Is Up With My Love Life?!”

and they then propose that women should seek multiple partners, for whatever needs they have at the time.

Anyone see an answer as to why their love life is f****ed up?

I wonder if the book mentions how to decide if a man can be added to the ‘gaggle?’

“Rule #1 - Make sure he only pees sitting down. That way you’ll never have to look before you sit on the toilet.”

She’s going to be very alone when she is older and no longer fun to pick up at a bar and sleep with because she has been replaced by younger models.

I would say the men that go for this do so because they have a gaggle of women... It used to be called playing the field- what is new?

Does this gal really think that the guy who loves her but isn’t ‘the one she sleeps with’, is going to wait forever?

What happens when that guy finds a gal who really loves him? ;)

I’ve been on that end before, and it’s rather fun saying, look. This is what I’m looking for. If you’re not interested, then feel free to get the love and support you need from the ‘guy you sleep with’. ;)

Once upon a time, there was a term for a woman who consciously surrounded herself with the sort of men in whom she took no romantic interest, indeed: with men who quite obviously took no such interest in her in favor of pursuits such as shopping and theater-going.

Let's see who recalls what that term was.

What kind of ‘man’? Allow me to explain ;)

The very same kind as these women. Each raised on a steady stream of ‘you’re special’ and in possession of a thousand ‘I Participated!!!” trophies.

The women call it their ‘gaggle’ and the men call it having ‘friends with benefits. They spend their lives running back and forth between fellow codependants whining all the while how their life sucks. Then they write these books, sell them to others on the horny-go-round and come about 40ish, find that they are alone, jaded, diseased, unwanted and...

then go out and vote democrat so others are assured to partake in their misery.

Seriously.

Tammy, the difference is the man when playing the field wants to have sex with all the women...these women only want sex with one or 2 guys and want to be friends with the rest..major difference.

I knew a number of these types of sluts in my younger days. Today they are lonely, bitter, old ugly hags all used up and without anyone or trust in their lives. They usually become cat women.

Guess dating one person and then moving onto another if it’s not the right person, is too passe now.

Finding “the one” no longer is apparently the goal for libtards.

Sure makes catching stuff a lot more efficient. You know those kinds of people will just be content to be one of many stallions servicing one philly. What could go wrong?

Liberals rage against certain parts of human nature, and worship others. Viewing issues from the worldview of being utterly selfish and what’s the best for ME, will always allow you to determine if they are raging against, or worshipping, a certain part of human nature.
