I know I’m treading on dangerous territory here, but sometimes “a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do”.
Women don’t know what they want.
They say they want a man that is tough, driven, and know what he wants. A man who doesn’t budge,and go weak in the knees for anything. The tough guy, so to speak. And when they find him, they say he’s a bully.
They say they want a sensitive guy, in touch with his feelings, kind, warm and loving. And when they find him, they say he’s a whimp.
They say they want a man who knows when to be tough and “stick to his guns”, but also when to be kind, considerate and compassionate. And when they find him, it’s also a problem; he’s too perfect, there has to be something wrong with him!
Why do women think this way?
I’m not even going to try to answer the question. Rather, let us look at the complexities of the question itself. Let’s just see what we are up against when attempting to understand how a woman thinks.
Let’s start with Genetics. At this stage it is common knowledge that the woman possesses the X chromosome and the man has the Y chromosome as the dominant one. I don’t know why it is called X and Y, as I am not a geneticist. What the X stands for, I don’t know. X factor, maybe?
I do, however, know a little bit about Mathematics. By using the logical thinking, intellectual abilities and creative genius of many great thinkers I will prove (without any concrete evidence whatsoever to support my argument) the complexities of the woman’s mind. Here is my theory:
Long, long ago in a faraway land, a group highly intellectual mathematicians, sat around the campfire contemplating the mysteries of the world. They discussed astronomy, philosophy, and mostly mathematics. They soon realised that there are problems that they would have difficulty in solving. Since mathematics was still new, they were still building up the vocabulary to the discipline. They wanted give a name to something that would continuously challenge them. A variable. Then, one of them had a stroke of genius.
“Let’s call it x”, said one of the men. His reasoning was that “x”, derived from the X chromosome, is in any case associated with complexities of the woman. Women will always challenge the thinking of man; making the reasonable seem unreasonable, the logical seem illogical and the sensible seem like nonsense. So too in Mathematics. The more we try to manipulate x, it manipulates us. The men all agreed that x should be the name of the variable.
At this point I can almost feel a smack against my head from every woman who is reading this.
The fact is that women make our lives interesting and we wouldn’t have it any other way. They are beautiful and we love them. I cannot imagine a world without women.
