Crazy On You
Damn, chicks is crazy. I only say that cause well... I am one. And it's true.
Last night I had another extreeeeeemely embarrassing moment in front of, well, let's just call him a bright spot on the horizon. I don't know what he is. We're okay with that. He's probably reading this. hahaha
Anyway, it got me thinking when I woke up this morning. There are lots of women who say "If women are crazy, it's because men made them that way." I actually don't agree with that, though I used to. I think that women are crazy. There's no getting around it.
I think what happens, however, is that men ENCOURAGE the crazy by not dealing with it. I think a lot of guys (thankfully not the one I referred to earlier) see a girl cry for what they think is no reason, get frustrated, and take the frustration out on its source... the girl. Then she cries harder, and she gets crazier, and before you know it- Armageddon.
Trust me, we don't always understand what makes us do crazy things. Those of us who are not actually certifiably crazy-- we generally benefit from being gently reminded that we are cared for, but that we are not being ourselves at the moment. I'm speaking to the men here- You've GOT to find a way to do that VERY SENSITIVELY, though... or she will feel attacked. Which will make her more crazy.
Men cannot possibly understand the role that hormones play in the crazy... when men have a surge of hormones, they want to screw, eat, or destroy something. Nobody sees that as crazy, it's just "the way men are."
When women have a surge of hormones, we want to eat something, preferably as much of something as we can... then we have guilt because we don't want to get fat. When women have a surge of hormones, we already FEEL fat. We have no idea how you could possibly still think we're pretty. We can't think straight. We are frustrated. We want to scream, want to cry, want to understand WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH ME??!?! I USED TO BE SO NORMAL!
So for as much as you guys don't get where we're coming from and think we're "crazy?" Well, we don't quite understand it either, but it happens. So next time your girl gets crazy? Try this. Give her a kiss and tell her you still think she's beautiful. It will shock the hell out of her, which should give you time to run. ;)
