The Cookie in the Pocket Concept
🕑 Added 2023-12-20 18:01:21 +0000 UTCAs a young man in the military, especially as a Nuclear Electronics Technician, I had some awful days. Days where I wouldn't sleep for 24 hours, emergencies in the plant, heated arguments with co-workers, and so on. The only break I had to process the day to day tribulations and challenges was mostly food breaks. I would go to the food mess and meet up with whoever was available to grab a meal. The food was not so great but I always felt like between the company and getting a mental break from the stress of life at sea that it was mostly my favorite time of day. Sometimes there were cookies out. For some odd reason the cookies were delicious. They would come in plastic wrap so they were easy to save for later. Regardless, if I was full or trying to cut weight I would always grab one "just in case" later on I wanted a snack. I would put it in my super deep coverall pockets and could barely feel it was there.
Later on, maybe the next day, I would reach into my pocket, and pull out a cookie and would be overjoyed (the little things mattered a lot in the Navy). I would sometimes skip going to the mess and relax and watch a movie and enjoyed my cookie, thanking my past self for this gift.
How does this apply to dating?
Too many guys will not let themselves hold on to the cookie. Instead, they will be full or trying to cut weight or whatever and not see the utility of the pocket cookie for future purposes.
The cookie is women.
When a girl ghosts you, or a fling decides to move on don't try to close the door or provide closure (throw the cookie away). Put her in your pocket. Let the parting of ways be amicable and open ended. Definitely don't try to hold her accountable.
Some women are like Sally's comet and will be in your life for short bursts over the years (they're trying to keep their body count low). Keep the doors open for these chicks so when you have a dry spell or a bad breakup they show up ready to remind you of one of the great joys of life. Casual sex with a little bit of familiarity.
