So, those of you who follow me on Twitter are well aware of my rants. Some of them can be offensive, some of them can be witty, but all of them are interesting...at least I’m told. Well, the other night I went off into a rant about how women “think” they know more than they do...wait...that came out really bad. Let me reword it -ahem- Women tend to give themselves more credit than necess...wait, no...Ok, once more for the road -ahem- Women tend to think that men are inferior and have the inability to match up intellectually, therefore making them the more witty sex. Maybe not in such harsh terms, but the fact remains that they feel that they have the ability to out think men. I’ve been told by a woman-friend that women tend to think of themselves as “mental ninjas.”
...maybe this would be a good time to begin my points...
The other night while tweeting I decided to get uber-reckless and anger as many women as possible by stating the claim that men aren’t as stupid as you think we are, that women actually play into our games, that women are too emotional, etc.
Most of it was simply to get a rise out of them...some of it was and is true...Now, what parts are true? I’ll state the points that I said, both reckless in nature...and then I'll match them with somewhat intelligent rhetoric. Enjoy!!!
1. Original: ...sigh...Women...you're not as wise as you think you are...sorry. What do you think guys talk about? How you be fuxin up. We beez laughin!
Intended Meaning: Men aren’t as dumb as you think we are.
Women, for some reason you think that we men are just these ogres...lacking in emotion and susceptible to the Jedi Mind trick...these are the same women that are single and can’t understand why no man will date them. We’re not stupid ladies, at all. Just because you think you have the upper hand...doesn’t mean you actually do. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again; Men have the ability to wear the mask, and we’ve mastered said ability. We can effectively say and show one thing, whilst all together feeling otherwise.
And for the record, we have enough blood in our body to operate both heads...thus, we have the ability to logically and cognitively reason. Furthermore, we have emotions as well...and we know when and how to use them. Just because you don’t always see it, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
2.Original: Movies have ya’ll fucked up...
Intended Meaning: Truth is Stranger than Fiction.
Have you ever wondered? “Why do things go so well in films” -or- “I wish I could find my happy ending, things go so well in the movies.” Well...there is a reason they work out so well...because they are films. Films are written a certain way, and in certain genres there is no room for exceptions...Romantic Comedy being one of them. Things must end on an up note, or else the audience [read: women] will leave disappointed and think the movie was poor; and studios can’t have that, that will only skew their first week numbers.
Now, with that being said let’s elaborate a bit...ladies, for the love of God please stop trying to model your lives/perceptions off of movies. Men aren’t stupid. My previous point has stated this, and this point is reinforcing it. More so, most of the men in those films are written to intentionally come off as lethargic, tyrannical, and as sophomoric as possible. Not all men are this way. More so, you have to take each circumstance as a new experience. This allows you to grow from it, enjoy this person fully, and ultimately make decisions based upon your own perceptions and experiences with THIS person...rather than others whom you may think are like him.
[Note: Let the record show that this also applies for books, TV Shows, and any other form of entertainment. That’s why it is called ENTERTAINMENT]
3.Original: Why are all the women dating help books written by men? AND YA’LL BUY ‘EM!
Intended Meaning: To be such an unwitting species, we offer great advice...conundrum if I’ve ever heard of one.
Further reinforcing my first point, men aren’t stupid. That has very little to do with this next point...I just felt the need to say it again.
But, back to business. To be such a large group of behemoths with infinitesimal knowledge...we know how to write a book about relationships...and sell it...and get on Oprah...and get a movie deal out of it...That’s quite an accomplishment for a group with what seems to be wildly accepted as a less than average brain wave activity.
With books like “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” and “He’s Just Not That Into You,” among a thousand others just like it...with a substantial amount of them written by men...you’d think we had this relationship thing on lock and that women were the ones with the inability to effectively reason...
Hmm...maybe that’s actually it...
But what do I know, I’m just a man.

ReplyDeleteYea, I just did that for humor purposes.
ReplyDeleteI def agree that the issue lies with both parties. Its a catch 22 at best.
This shit made me laugh... I have plenty of girl friends that think they can trick dudes into being with them etc. I say everyone's equal and what not. But a lot of it is influenced by what girls are taught since they are younger [boys mature later and all that jazz], and then you get females who buy into the hype and forget people are people. The same can be said in reverse too for guys though. Like you said... it's a catch 22
ReplyDeleteWhy your twitter comments made women upset still confuses me , i found them funny, yet unfortunate that individuals chose to expose themselves with their feelings. I think its much easier for women to say men are stupid ittakes the blame off of them, very similar to the male cry" women are too emotional." I read Steve Harvey's book and found it hilarious not the key to relationships but made me aware of some traits of men I should be sensitive to. I think many women do have a fairy tale approach to relationships, they usually dont turn out so majestic then the " men are dogs" rant begins. But Movies have us all fucked up and contort our views on life. Even I sometimes want the whimsical romantic date that make feel like im floating home.
ReplyDeleteI think its pointless to repeat responsibility lies on both sides- I think we all know that.
But as a woman, personally i feel so many other women allow themselves to be perceived as idiots especially in the male-female relations area. We seem to have no foundation in our feelings, beliefs and standards when it comes to the men we date, get upset when our expectations are not met and instead of having basic communication we try to find sly methods BECAUSE WE THINK THATS HOW MEN PLAY IT.
These answers to our relationship issues come with age most people our age are too silly to realize we nor our friends have the answers and we are learning with every crush, relationship heartbreak etc. And we should embrace each encounter like something new. Artists dont stop painting because a piece didnt come out so great, they change their approach.
Im not reffering to myself but it would be rude to detach myself as though i have never been guilty of the afore mentioned behaviors.
Very Good Sir... Pleasant read.
