I am told that men and women are very different. Funny thing about my life is that books have always been gifts from other people trying to get me to understand that the world has rules and nature beyond my own ideology. ’Men are from Mars and women are from Venus’ is an example of said favor. Men are simple and women are pissed because they wish they had the penis.
I know I certainly do. I would do anything for a big, giant…
SQUIRREL.
Sorry about that, it’s been awhile. I would do anything to understand a man’s simple. I can’t relate to it on any level beyond a sorry excuse to get away with bullsh*t. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I tell you something else. I put up with it. I think we all do.
I’ve stopped thinking of the world by gender. Men and Women. These days I rank people by level of capacity. To what depth do you ponder? What value do you place on relationships? How do you express kindness? How do you express hurt? or anger? or fear? How do you contribute? How often do you laugh?
“Do guys even have feelings?!!!” was my own plea for answers to an X boyfriend recently.
He laughed “Yes Amber… we have feelings too.”
I whimpered pathetically “I don’t believe you.”
I don’t believe him but those are the guys that I fall for. I fall for the ones who have been hurt. Not every man. Not every hurt. There is a pattern though. I’m noticing my choices while wondering why I make them. What is it? Do I find I can relate or am I simply glad to know there is proof of feeling? Maybe it is even more simple than that. Maybe we all hurt equal and there is no correlation. Maybe I think too much. Maybe that is what we all do… women… and now we are back to gender. What if he is thinking too much too?
Maybe I’ll just write without needing answers. Maybe I’ll just write for you to think if you so choose because I do. I do spend my time thinking. Imagine that.
What do you think? Maybe I should be asking that instead of meandering down my own questions except I already know the equations are infinite. People are what they are. Individually.
If I were to write mate selection from a male perspective it would read like this, “Does she look good? Does she nag? Does she smell good? Is she good in bed? Is she good with kids? Does she have a good job? Does she believe what I believe? GOOD. I’ll take her.”
If I were to write mate selection from a female perspective it would read like this, “”Does he look good? Is he controlling? Does he smell good? Is he good in bed? Is he good with kids? Does he have a good job? Does he believe what I believe? GOOD. I’ll take him.”
LOVE IS SIMPLE WHEN MEN ARE FROM MARS AND WOMEN ARE FROM PENIS
I wonder what Dr. Ruth thinks…
