One Woman Finally Gets It!

[Guest]

Funny thing...

Talk to her about your problems... it's all "Here's what you need to do..."

That is if she doesn't look at you with that look in her eyes... "You're man, right? Why are you whining?"

*Laugh*

Wait... I don't want you to tell me how to solve my problems, I just want you to commiss-- Never mind, I'm going to go play some b-ball with the guys.

Many guys won't talk about their problems. You know, it's nothing a little physical work or a few beers or a nice blowjob won't cure?

I liken this entire situation to the way my husband and I shop for jeans.

Him? He knows his size, knows his brand preference. He walks in, picks out the size (there may be a tiny bit of indecision over stone-washed or dark denim) but he doesn't even need to try them on. He's in and out of the store in 5 minutes.

Me? I know my size, but the variation in women's jeans is ridiculous. There will be at least a half an hour of trying on different brands, even different sizes to get the proper fit. It's never that easy for me as it appears to be for him.

He handles his problems the same way. All balls, immediate action while I have to agonize and ponder for hours.

It doesn't matter.

I still give exquisite blowjobs.

One thing I do appreciate.

Her: "How was your day at work?"

ElSol: It was work.

Her: Good... let me tell you about my day.

Wow, from the other side, I wish it was like that.
Unless something special has happened, I don't especially want to have a whole discussion about it. Unfortunately, my SO wants to know everything. I kind of wish he'd just go on and on about his own day.

Then again, if I believe women's magazines, it seems I'm the man in the relationship

Yes- ridiculous, and not just jeans! Anyone else think it's some kind of conspiracy just to keep us in the store longer?

I think it's a conspiracy to make our lives more miserable

Who does the ball scratching?

Anything else is irrelevant.

Phew! Thanks for the clarification Liar. I can now officially reclaim my title as the woman of the couple

The thing about stereotypes is they're so useless. Often they're true on average, but they're still useless because they're never true 100% of the time. We're all individuals, men and women, and we need to be treated and judged individually. What does it matter if 99% of women take longer to buy jeans than 99% of men or want to share more details or their day or aren't as interested in casual sex? If you come into any relationship with me thinking you can guess what I'll do or what I'm feeling based on a stereotype, you're wrong.

I can appreciate jokes but any statement that tries to pass itself off as "no, no, women are really like that" pisses me off. At least recognize that the stereotype you're spreading is a stereotype and that you're spreading it.

Where the money would come from, I just don't know.

Unfortunately, she has to 'hear' you say the words, especially in the right tone of voice.

The signs would be interpreted as not taking her seriously.

Hidden tape recorder, then?

Oh hell. You probably love it. After all, it keeps you in the All-Wonderful presence of Booty.

I can.

It is female nature to share difficulties with their significant other.

It is male nature to wish to solve all difficulties for the female.

And that tends to piss off most females.

We don't want our problems "fixed." Just listen, commiserate, sympathize.

We can solve our own problems

I think there were sighs of relief coming from all corners of the globe upon reading this. From both men and women.
Anyone else think sarahh should get paid for each pearl of wisdom she dispenses?

Spreading something, certainly.

None of my statements were absolute, and in fact, were more anecdotal, pertaining to my husband and myself.

I'd vote for her.

I'd even get involved in a scandal with her, if she let me.

BWAH!

I'm afraid my budding career as smut writer (and my sordid behavior at the Chicago Lit-together *sigh*) will prevent that from happening.
