It means he's an indecisive drama queen. But very sensitive, especially to his own pain. Probably a brooder. Truly, he is complex. Like Algebra.
You don't understand him. He's a loner. A needy loner. Somewhere, he has a tattered Moleskin journal where he writes his thoughts... IN HIS OWN BLOOD. Actually, he writes lyrics. Plays the acoustic guitar. His tear ducts are full of whisky.
People who talk about how complicated their lives are don't have complicated lives. Usually, these people are just befuddled by life's choices. Dude, crunchy or smooth? One or two-ply? Get a job or call Daddy? UGH! My life is complicated!
"My life is complicated" is just too vague a lament to be credible. I usually know exactly why my life can be a tangle of mistakes, disasters, and unforseen circumstances. Those who are legitimately having a crisis don't communicate in soundbites.
And here's another reason I can't stand such spineless emo boilerplate: you know that recent Meryl Streep movie called "It's Complicated?" I was dragged to this emotional porno and I kept wanting to shout to the mewling, well-heeled characters on the screen, "It's not complicated!" There was nothing complicated in that movie. She was rich, successful and flanked by wang.
It's a lame affectation.
These types remind me of people I've worked with in offices who are always complaining about "how busy they are." In an office situation, if you have time to bitch about being busy, you aren't really busy. I eventually figured out it was a clever technique employed by lazy people. You'll get skipped over for assignments if you whine about how "busy" you are. Or worse, how your "plate" is full.
Here is the good news: in my experience, when a guy says "his life is complicated" he isn't saying "I'm banging someone else, but would also like to bang you. Preferably, I'd like to bang both of you at the same time if I can get away with it."
Because if that were true, he wouldn't tip you off. He'd say "my life is great. Totally chill. Let's hang out at my place Friday. BUT NOT SATURDAY. Cool?"
Instead, this angsty mumbledouche is probably just weighing his options -- date you or get back with his ex? God. He's probably face down on a pillow in his bed right now being all "GOD! WHAT DO I DO?"
His tear ducts are full of whisky., angsty mumbledouche ~ LMAO..this answer is made of WIN!
OMG! I could have written that question! I love hanging out with this guy but he's so wishy washy....brooding funkiness....."things spinning out of control"...stay away...come closer...no stay away...no...yes...maybe....arrgghhh! What do you do with a guy who says....I'm afraid I'm TOO attracted to you? I really like him but you are SO right John. Just pick a side ... like or dislike and just man up and say it.
There's no such thing as being TOO attracted to someone, I'm afraid. That's pretty much code for what John said. I myself have used similar phrase, but it was when I was an absolute fucking mess. I regret it now, but basically it means 'Find somebody else who makes you happy, and let me regret my stupidity later when I realise what a dick I've been!'
Indecisive men take the blood out of my clitoris.
*Fist bump*
People who talk about how complicated their lives are don't have complicated lives.
so so true. i hate it when people make more out of their lives than necessary. truly, it is rarely ever that deep.
Sometimes, even when away from guys speak, I wonder to myself: "does John Devore talk like that in real life?" Your string of wit rocks my socks daily.

Wow ... sorry for the stalkerish repeats ... definitely error of technology, or the technologically challenged, as the case were.
Mumbledouche! Haha, that is pure awesome! XD
God i love this. It might even be true! HAHAHA.
:)
Mumbedouche needs to be put in the Guyspeak dictionnary!! :P
Or maybe he works for the CIA.
bwahahaha.....mumbledouche...that's epic! Right on target! My guy just this weekend tells me he liked hanging with me but wished his life wasn't so complicated. Funny thing is I'm the other woman, he's going through a divorce right now (and she hasn't even moved out of the house yet)....so yeah he's stringing me along and I fell right into it.
Hahahahhah!!
Sounds a lot like this guy I really liked
Actually I was in this boat myself (the guy John described). I have to say he is right on the money, but there is something I would like to add. At that chapter in my life I was finally taking control of my life and stopped feeling sorry for myself. I grew up poor and never had a father (really). So there was a lot of talks about feelings and normal things that I missed out on. In the end I felt subpar, but in retrospect I realized I was just as normal as anyone else.
These type of guys need a lot of soul searching. Definitely do not get into a relationship with them. If you do, make sure you both know you two are friends and you are just there to help him understand his problems. This is a person who needs saving.
On the flip side, if you do help him you may see a transformed and emboldened person with deeper understandings of things most people take for granted.
Good Luck!
Argh. Hit it right on the money. I've been hanging out with this guy I work with (I know, BAD). We really enjoy each other's company, and have a lot of common interests. We'll stay up talking for hours. He's still got "ties" with his ex that he was with for several years. Plus we work together and that can also make things "complicated." I'm actually waiting on divorce papers, and trying to get myself re-established on my own in a new city. We've been intimate a couple times (drinking has been involved both times). He has since stopped putting himself in situations where intimacy is a temptation (i.e. I don't sleep over in his bed anymore). His explanation is "I really like hanging out with you, but my life's just really complicated right now." I'm a stupid romantic who really feels connected to him intellectually and physically. I really appreciate the friendship, but am trying to direct my feelings. Bad timing. He keeps hanging out, and we have great one on one time together. I just know I have to stop pining, because he doesn't know what he wants. Step away from the fire, cause you're gonna get burned.
Should I just stop asking him to hang out, and txting him? Give him space? I think if I maintain friendliness, but don't make myself too available it will help him figure things out. Either way it goes, I'll at least know for sure.

this article is awesome!
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Happen to be looking for this and discovered even more than predicted post. Thank you.
The 3rd movie will probably be about Global Warming and how humans are causing it, that's why Gates said " Life Altering".. Maybe Gates will discover that we need to drill for oil inside the Statue of Liberty or that maybe 911 was actually an inside job ...Page 47 may also be about how Almost every president has been either a freemason or member of the ancient skull and bones society.. They ought to do a scene where Gates discovers naked politicians in a forest running around Bohemian Grove and he has to scale the 40 ft Molech statue and retrieve the secret page 47 puzzle piece while dancing to GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! Damn im a good writer...
