Womens Power over Men

     As we travel through life and with space-time, our life’s memories gradually grow misty, as though we are searching through thin, and ever-changing clouds. And every now and then, one of them will suddenly become crystal clear…and it is, in the elder ages of our lives, it is usually about an organic body of the opposite persuasion – perhaps it is our husband or wife, a teenage puppy love, or perhaps someone we once spent some time with, and who enriched our lives for evermore.  Regardless of our sex, and no matter how hard or long we try not to be, we are soon faced with the reality that we are social beings.

     My happy self, being a male, there were, and still are, many times when I wish to be alone, where I may enjoy my stars on a cloudless and moonless evening, where I will imagine that I am aboard my starship “imagination” and exploring the wonders and mysteries of the universe, or to just read a good book about one of my many interests.

      The problem we sometimes experience with being alone very often, is that the canopy of stars above, cause our minds and imaginations to remember a lost love…one that we let get away!  Yes, once in awhile, a few teardrops will fall from our eyes, and onto our heart.  It is at times such as those, that we are reminded, and realize, that we are social beings – whether we like it or not! 

     Again, being of the male persuasion, I have many times searched my mind and imagination for methods of luring the female persuasion…and with many very good reasons for doing so!  And every now and then, I was successful --- I say, every now and then, for my mirrors tell me that I was never anywhere close to looking like Adonis, and therefore learned how to dance, to tell good jokes, find the romantic movies, and even where to purchase roses.  As the years went by, I had accumulated a few good ideas that I could now pass on to the younger folks.

     And so it was, a clear sky with a mild sun, sitting outside of a nice restaurant where I could plug in my computer, drink some great tea, and read and write to my heart’s content --- that even have two restrooms, which is a fantastic convenience when mother nature decides that we are going to do what she wants, and when she wants us to do it --- and she doesn’t care if we do it indoors or outdoors…she only knows that we are going to do it, and if we deny her wish, she will only have to decide what our punishment will be. 

     Anyway, this young lady, who had been married for about a year now, was explaining that her husband was not paying her the attention he used to do, and she still desired the attention.  It has been my experience that women will let the male know, one way or another, that they need and want more attention…we males, for some reason or another, have a tendency to not let the female know they also want lots of attention – why it is that way is beyond my comprehension!

     That being said; I proceeded to relate an experience of mine with a new girlfriend I met in Florida.  When it was obvious we were going to be together, I told her I wished to eliminate a possible problem up front --- and therefore, explained to her that men are basically just big babies.  A lot of us brag, strut, and use various methods to show the female that we are “real men.”  I continued to explain that I wanted to let her know what I would do for her…but as you will see, there are a few strings attached.!

     I will mow your lawn, wash the dishes, vacuum the floors, leave you love notes throughout the house, bring you roses, remember your birthday and any other special days, take you dancing, to the beach, whisper sweet nothings in your ear, listen to you, ask questions about you and your children, play your favorite records, tell you how beautiful and alluring you are, notice new dresses and hairdos, and much more.(you should have seen the look on her face)!  I will do and say all those things if:

You will tell me I am the strongest man you know, even thought I know I am not.

You will tell me I am the best when we get together, although I realize I may not be.

You will tell me I am the best dancer you ever danced with, ever if I am not.

You will tell me that I am the best all-around man you have ever met, even if I am not.

     Tell me all those things, and I will do darn near anything you want.

     We never had an argument, and when we did part, we parted good friends! Imagine what you will discover next!
