What Would You Do For a (Hot Affair) Klondike Bar?

What would you do for the perfect affair, as the commercial jingle goes?

What would you do for a Klondike bar/aka HOT AFFAIR?

Would you languish in Ashley Madison?

As a woman with a dick-pick-filled in-box or the run-on “hey baby, I will make u cum all night” replies? Or for the men, facing endless bots, pay-for-play solicitations, or no responses at all?

Who has it worse? Both, equally are frustrated.

What would you do for the Klondike bar version of a perfect affair?

Ladies, would you “live” hunt in grocery stores wearing yoga pants, your get-him-back black Versace shades, and a tantalizing top revealing so much cleavage that even the 19-year-old produce kid gets erect eggplant handling the limp greens?

Or be the older dude in a bar wearing Vuori joggers (bonus if you are hard), a soft V-neck t-shirt from the Gap, and veins popping through your eyes due to some steroids? A Rolex for the win. This might work for Ryan Renolds, but you are reading this because you haven’t got that game, playa!

Flexin that muscle and not the one you really want exercised, haha.

What would you do for the perfect affair?

Here are some of my favorite commercials and what they remind me of in this wacky world of cheating.

5 Seconds to Glory

Who else has been like Mark, listening to, I mean, zoning out to their significant other and thinking about their lover. All those passionate kisses, and feeling their body against yours, lusting you?

Would you play patty cake?

That wasn’t intended as an innuendo, but as my lover reads this, it now means I want to smack that ass!

What did I do for my affair?

I went into Ashley Madison and was unsure what I was looking for. I knew I had a dead bedroom, no connection on an intimate level with my wife, and even our friendship seemed like it had tarnished. I found myself, and I liked what I found. I rediscovered confidence in myself and realized I wasn’t the problem.

If you stay with your current stale old Fig Newton instead of going with a yummy Health Klondike bar, I am guessing it is for one or more of the three F’s. Finance, fear, or family.

But have you been honest with yourself? Are those fears… justified or magnified because of insecurity? As Lizzo wrote in her song, “Am I ready? To be loved?”

You might be ready, after all.

I think that if you are leaving for you, you get your Klondike bar, regardless. And If you find someone and think you have a chance, then you get your special dark chocolate Heath Crunch with caramel Klondike bar every day for the rest of your life.

What would I do for that?

EVERYTHING.
