MEN NEVER DO IT RIGHT
(and why that makes perfect sense)
“Oh yes, it’s Valentine’s, completely forgot.” That on an early Tuesday, with three hours of traffic behind me. Call me an old-fashioned prude, but I think it’s a nice day. Yes, it’s commercial crap, but Christmas is too (besides the little child in the manger, right)? But he had almost forgotten it again. I kind of trudged through the day until I got home and fell into the flowers with my nose and a kiss from the most wonderful man Ungrateful brat that I am.
Our Theo brought it up très cautiously, but he thinks that men can never do it right with women and that it’s OUR fault. Can I get a round of applause for Theo? He said this at the kitchen table of Amayzine, while ten (quite frankly pretty tough) women with raised eyebrows looked his way. Yes, you need courage for that and a pair of sneakers to make a run for it, just in case.
Does he have a point? Is it a female trait to think that a man always misses the mark? I just heard Kiki shout something about a man with an incredibly large ear (he can’t help that, of course) and Simoon is already checking out before she can check out (just in case). But I seriously hear a point on the right, that they listen too little and don’t really delve into you. I find it incredibly annoying when I want to tell my story, but a solution is immediately offered. Or when I want to celebrate sweet Valentine’s. Oh, maybe it’s true or maybe it’s not. I do have to remain objective, Theo is standing up for his companions here.
“Ungrateful brat that I am”
Could it be that the upper room works differently for ladies than for gentlemen? It has been scientifically proven that we process events differently than men. And if that’s the case, then he can’t do anything right at all because he thinks differently. By the way, can we also immediately debunk that we think he never does anything right, because that is said from the male point of view. Ha, and that just happens to be structured differently than ours. So you can’t really expect each other to handle it a bit okay. And that is immediately the reason we need to cherish our best friends, because they are our understanding in fearful times. And make-up sex too.
