"Only If You Dare Me To"

"Who dares me?" Excluding a small portion of nomads, it's a line we've all heard. But the cold hard truth of the matter is that if we wanted to dare you, we freaking would. Obvioulsy, if you're asking to get dared, you're gonna do it. So... really, there's no point in the first place. Like, here's an example of something you'll probably never hear:
Boy: You dare me to?!
Girl: Yeah!
Boy: No way man, that's freaking crazy!

Catch my drift?
Doing every dare put upon you doesn't make you a daredevil if you initially put them upon yourself. Next time someone asks, try just flat-out saying no. Dares are supposed to be a true challenge, a measurement of will! Bottom line is, our society is falling apart. Just kidding. But really, it's a bigger deal than you would think. Whatever happened to Evel Knievel? Tony Jaa? What if everybody got caught up in self-daredevilism? What if our enire dare-related life was a lie? What if an ''extreme dare'' became something as simple as jumping on a department store bed in while trying to look bada** in front of a group of newly-made friends? What would happen to our planet, with only simple, easy-to-conquer dares? And lastly... what would happen to us?

  1. ...and then, all of the sudden, I feel really bad and awesome at the same time for never hearing ANY of those lines.

    Friends Quote: "Dares are for people who don't have the guts to just do something themselves."

    No offense, but really now.
