what is wrong with (American) men?
"could i just ask you a question, what is wrong with men?"
"...well, first off, we're told to stop crying by the age of like, three, and then every time an adult male leaves the house, he says you're in charge. but, your mom is still cutting the crust off your bread so deep down inside you know you can't possible be in charge because you can't even make a sandwich. then, at a certain point you start to notice girls who aren't your mom you know, and you want them to like you. but they don't really go for the normal social cues such as being tackled to the ground, or being called a nickname, like craphead. then you decide to give her a gift. she laughs at the rock you brought her even though it's the coolest rock you ever saw, and it has all kinds of glittery stuff on it.
anyways, let's assume you work your way through that minefield and you actually get a woman to notice you, then what happens? your guy friends turn on you and they start calling you names. so you spend your entire life trying to satisfy these two disparate groups of people, and then you grow up and throw work into that mix and you start feeling like you're being pulled in three different directions, and you know, sometimes you're just too tired to know what women want from you, particularly if you've only spent five minutes talking on the phone with her.
but we know we would die in a ditch without women, so we keep trying." - Marry Me
LOL at American culture.
