Of Men


I received after one of the previous posts, a request for some of my thoughts on men. In general there is one rule: the two kinds of people on the earth are (1) smart people, who are eccentric, and (2) boys, who are stupid.
Unfortunately, starting at a young age, boys compete for stupidity rights. Ever heard of a dare? Do you ever hear girls daring each other to sip something through their noses? It doesn't happen.
Some have commented on the fact that boys get over stuff quicker than girls do. Want to know why? Boys can't remember what they ate for breakfast let alone a contentious conversation from the day before.
The logic of nature is really screwed up. As one lady put it, men come out of the womb wanting to be the ones to carry the club and go slay the dinosaurs. Why are the clubs in the hands of the stupid people?
Ever wondered why girls plan weddings? From a young age I was told that when I'm engaged and planning a wedding, I can give my opinion, but the girl has the final say. Isn't that nice of them to let me give my opinion? I've figured out why boys don't make those decisions, they can't handle making something as nice of a wedding materialize. Take decorating for an example. Boys use all these posters and stuff they think are cool, and then they put it all together, and it always turns out poorly.
In closing, I offer thanks to women for making something nice out of what us men have to offer. To use a traditional and maybe stereotypical example, men bring home a dead animal, and women somehow know how to make it into something nice. We offer them our rough unfinished selves, and they help us become something presentable. Thank heaven for women.
