Men - - To be Fair

Alright, I know this has been a long time in coming, but it's not because I'm a man and ashamed of the gender. We definitely have our problems and one specifically needs to be called out. Men perceive women to be unintelligent and wanting. What the hell is that about?

A few years back I was employed as a common, hard working construction underling. On a daily basis I found myself ashamed to be called "Man". One week in particular we were installing a natural gas line through the heart of a city, along side a well traveled pedestrian corridor. The unassuming women who walked this path fell victim to cat-calls and whistles by my fellow co-workers.

No matter who walked by, as long as the gender equaled "Female" the harassment would ensue. "Hey baby, how would you like a piece of this?" Yo! Sexy thing; let me walk you to campus!" I kept a low profile hoping not to be recognized amongst the group of sweaty, dirty, disrespectful heathens.

What are men thinking? Seriously! Do they really believe that women are so dumb that a whistle put into a different pitch would beckon a female suitor rather than their sage, New Zealand sheep dog? That, calling a woman "babe" would ignite a fire so deep within that she couldn't help but spin on here high heels and offer up bust size and phone number?

It doesn't work and it never will! Women are pretty damn smart. They know how to play a man seven ways and eight on Sunday. Guys... if a woman ever accepts a cat call hit, you should be running for cover because they are out to eat your lunch. Even though you're marketing to both extremes of the female food chain, you need to beware!

On one side you have the brainless blonde who thinks cat calls are sincere mechanisms for communicating deep down feelings of love and trust. On the other, you have a woman who can disarm Osama Bin Laden with a smile.

Bottom line is that guys are dogs. Just the other night I saw a guy in a bar who approached the most beautiful woman there. He was so "EFN" flattering that I nearly lost my dinner. She appeared to be enamored with this guy. He seemed to be sweet as pie. She excused herself and went into the ladies room. No sooner had she rounded the corner, the guy started making comments about how he was going to "Take" her that night. Upon her return he morphed back into the perfect gentleman.

But then, he excused himself and went to the restroom. She started talking with her friends about how she had scored them the last three rounds of drinks and it was about time to lose the loser! It all made perfect sense to me. She saw that he was a bumb ass. She needed drinks for her and her friends. His penis got in the way of rational thought. The player got played!

Most women are very smart. They recognize up-front what's on a man's mind. Approach with respect or you might lose a hand.

These are my true words.

At the end of the day, we humans, both sexes are evolved animals with different sexual agendas. There isn't any biological imperative for harmonious interaction between the two sexes. The only thing that gets rewarded over evolutionary timescales is successful reproduction leading to the next generation of successful reproduction. All the dysfunction that we see in societyn, particularly between the sexes stays at evolutionarily tolerable levels. A certain amount of sexually predatory behavior as you describe will always be there. Be thankful for whatever ability you may have to rise above it.

I don't believe women are unintelligent. However, they are extremely wanting. And once they get what they want they decide it's not good enough and they want even more. And they want the man to give it to them instead of doing it themselves. How extremely frustrating that is for you men. Maybe it's just esier for you to have and unintelligent blode on your arm. If you prefer to have an intelligent women then she may challenge your position as the leader too much. Men like to be in charge. So which is better...an unintelligent woman who won't challenge you..or an intelligent one who will?
