It is difficult to put in words what your head has already given a non-verbal definition to. I may not end up doing justice; I will still try. I don’t know whether you can make sense of what I’m talking about. If you think you do, read on.
I said you’ll have those hormones racing through you because I have them racing through me - because nothing else can possibly explain this turmoil in my body and mind. Body: because I feel funny in my gut. Mind: because I can’t seem to think straight. I have been through this before. And it still gets me. Like it will get you. Every single time. Unless of course you learn how to take control.
Maybe these essential but little known facts will help:
Men are born sadists. They realise it or not, they admit it or not. When they see you in pain, and you want them to come up and help you out of it, they will sit back and relax in an imaginary jumbo-sized recliner and get ready for the show to begin. Maybe even get a bowl of popcorns.
Now men, like they say, are from Mars, and for all good reasons, should have stayed there. And we make the classic mistake of assuming them to be one of us and expecting them to be capable of relating to us. I wonder why they call both men and women by the same generic and specific name?! If women are Homo sapiens sapiens, men should be Homo sapiens jackassiens.
I will make it simpler, girl. Its always the best to hold on to your own. In the words of the great Janis Joplin, who by the way was murdered by Men (they may tell you it was Heroin, believe it wasn‘t),
“I won't quit to become someone's old lady.”
And a word of advice for you too:
“Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.”
- Janis Joplin
Well if men are from mars, then women are from Venus... grrrrrrrrrr
ReplyDeletewomen are from venus ...men are from Ur-anus

ReplyDeleteI read your blog and I think your just a little pissed off at some jerk that bruised your heart. Well, as a mature female (over 40)I have seen my share of good men, a handfull of great men, a world stocked with morons that think they are god's gift to women and are not even close to being considered as human at all, and there is no shortage of the well known species that resemble human life forms but they don't seem to have a sense of love, truth, empathy or morals. These ones are very dangerous and cunning. But, I must tell you, there are men worth trusting but love is but a mere game of chance. The perfect man can become a beast in seconds leaving you shaking your head in disbelief. But if you do get lucky and find true love, the game was all worth it. So don't be too hard one the entire man race. Yep the jackasses are there, and you need to learn from the experience! your blog was cute though. cheers
ReplyDeletethanks dee! was only playing with some dark humour about the "perfect" kind that leaves you 'shaking your head in disbelief'. also, it really doesn't have to be men you're in love with. their "kind" is everywhere - from workplace to public transport to bedroom. next i'm going to note a word of advice against vicious aunties plotting against my daughter to malign her ;) do come back for it. and if i managed to sound bitter and bruised, it pays off.
