Men And Women
Let me run an observation I've made about the sexes past you and see if you agree with me. I'll do it in the form of a made up situation, just for fun (and because I can't think of a better way to explain it):
Imagine the weather is really cold and the heating in your lover's flat (or apartment) has broken down. A call to the maintenance people reveals that your lover will be without heating for at least four days. Damn.
Now imagine that you have sympathetically put your arms around your lover and said,
"Awww, four days? That's horrible! Never mind sweetie, it'll be OK soon. You're SO gorgeous by the way. I love you, you know that don't you?".
My contention is that if your lover is a WOMAN she will think,
"That's so SWEET! The heating is broken but someone thinks I am I GORGEOUS and LOVES me! Awww! It's not so bad after all."
But if your lover is a MAN he will think,
"Oh GOD, first the heating is broken and now this! WTF does my partner want from me? WHAT? Do I have to dredge up some sort of validation for another person, and say I love you too, when really all I want to do is be left alone to feel pissed off about my fucking heating? I really don't need this shit."
Am I right? Feel free to comment and/or to learn something about life from the replies I get. If you DO comment, tell us what sex you are...It'll make it more interesting.
