So let's talk about men and women. This is a subject that everyone has an opinion on and pretty much no one agrees on. I'm not sure which way I want to take this so who in the hell knows...I may just touch on everything.
So I'm sure youre asking yourself, "What makes this guy think that he is the person to tell us about men and women?" Well, I'm willing to bet that if that is what you thought when you first started into this then you're either a woman, gay, or confused. I don't want to start off with stereotypes, but I know that most men would just keep reading and not ask so many questions (even if they're internal questions).
I want to start talking about the male gender as a whole. Robin Williams said it best when he stated, "Men have a brain and a penis and only enough blood to run one at a time." This is true...most of the dumbest decisions in history have been made over a woman... would you like to guess which head was doing the thinking there. But don't get me wrong...men aren't all sex all the time... in fact it's really more a case of extreme simplicity.
Now that I have that out there, I want to let everyone know that my goal in life is to get as many women as I can to understand one simple fact... MEN ARE AS SIMPLE AS WE ACT!!! Thats all there is to it. I can stop there...but I know you want an explanation...and I'm willing to bet that of you that want the explanation, that 75f you are probably women...because like I said...We are simple!!!
Let me give you some examples of what I'm talking about. Say a man and a woman are just sitting around doing nothing. Both get quiet and zone out for a few seconds. The woman looks over and asked they guy what he's thinking about and the guys says, "Nothing." The woman immediately re-ask what he was thinking about...not believing that it was nothing...but it was. This is both a gift and a curse that the male genders possesses. We can completely zone out and just hit a state of nirvana for however short or long. Women on the other hand cannot. In the same five seconds that the guy had zoned out and thought about absolutely nothing...the woman had just made a mental note of her grocery list, decided what she was going to wear for the whole week, worried about work/school/relationship issues and possibly solved the worlds problems. It's amazing!!! I would love to be able to do that...but I can't...WE can't!!! That is why women have such a hard time figuring out how a guy can honestly think of nothing.
Another way to explain this same concept is to compare men to waffles and women to spaghetti. I really like this because it is good on two levels. First off, men are like waffles because everything has a shape and form...it's sectioned off and it has it's little square indentions. The waffle represents how the male brain works. Everything is sectioned off. A guy has one section that is just for work...another for play...one for family...one for relationships...one for finances...it's endless as to what the options are. What this does is allow us to completely focus on one thing at a time. DID YOU GET THAT....ONE THING AT A TIME!!!! If we're thinking about the big game...we dont care about money. If we're at work and into a big project we aren't thinking about dinner. That's how it works. Now women are completely different. They are just like a big plate of spaghetti. When you have spaghetti on a plate and you look down at it you just see one huge pile of spaghetti. There is no way of really telling where one noodle starts and the other ends. This is how women think. A woman can be at work and think about what the dinner plans are for the night... they can be out on a date and still worrying about how they're gonna pay their car payment. I thank God everyday that this is how a woman thinks...otherwise children would get left at practice...fast food would be the only food consumed...and the world may stop. The other reason I like to compare women to spaghetti is because Randy likes him some spaghetti!!!
So now when you try to talk to a guy while he is doing something else and five minutes later you have to completely start over...you know why...we were focused on the task at hand. We may even grunt or make some random sound of acknowledgement, but it's just a natural reaction. I'm not saying this is excusable, I'm just saying it's how it is.
Now let's talk a little about relationships. I don't want anyone here to think that this is my topic of expertise, because I don't think anyone will really ever figure this out. that is why all these relationship books, like "Women are from Venus-Men Are from Mars" are a crock. Did you even realize that when John Gray wrote that book he was a married man...that's right...WAS. How can anyone put any stake on a book written by someone who couldn't even make a relationship work themselves?
I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and we got on the topic of relationships. She had just gotten out of a ten month relationship and we were talking about how guys differ from women. We stated joking about how most men dont actually tell as much about the relationships they are in as people think and how women tell EVERYTHING to their closest friends. That's right guys...before you get to your car after a date at least two other people know how the date went, what you wore, if you are a good kisser...the works. It's like the psychic friends network or something. I think there is a secret hot line women can establish where one number is dialed and all of the inner sanctum is contacted. It's like Batman and Commissioner Gordon. It's incredible!! So remember that guys.
Guys on the other hand...don't tell as much as people think. The truth is...the more a guy is into the relationship, the less he talks about it. Usually what does get told is mostly falsehoods anyways. It strange, but it almost like were scared to give away too much information because it will hurt our masculinity.
This friend of mine also made a very good point about herself that I thought was pretty true for women in general...so don't get mad at me. She said that "When I'm your friend, then I'm the best friend you'll ever know...but if you piss me off I can be your worst enemy!" This statement was then followed with the oh so true, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." True...so true. The best advice my dad ever gave me was "if mama ain't happy...then nobodys happy"
I really feel bad for the poor soul that crossed her. He doesn't know what he's in for. I really hope that "the juice was worth the squeeze". Oh well...you live and hopefully you learn...but I still dont want to be that poor sucker!
DEAL WITH IT!
