Just browsing over facebook today, seeing all the various fan pages people joined, there's a growing trend of "I'm the girl you're the guy..." fan pages...
To side track for a second I've always been aggravated by how women expect the perfect select blend of traditional and modern values in a relationship. It's the man's job to be kind, caring, look after the woman, pay for everything, make elaborate romantic gestures all the time (yet spontaneously)... be the true gent and chivalrous, just like in the olden days. Now this alone I have no problem with... however these were all the advantages to women in those days, those were balanced out with significant disadvantages, such as lack of rights in general, never argues, has to be quiet and agree able... now this is where the modern "empowered female" side of this oh so sweet deal comes in. So basically they want a relationship to be run as a female bias dictatorship... lovely (Y)
Now I must concede that my views on this are somewhat tainted by one particular the and a half year long misery of an example... so the above is to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Anyway, to get back on track...
There were two in particular the first: "I'm the girl, you're the guy... If you don't text first, we don't speak today". The second: "Girls like it when guys text first... true story"... well I say try this one on for size... "I'm the guy, you're the girl... I text you first... HOW ABOUT REPLYING SOME TIME!" ... or maybe ... "I text you, I put my heart on the line... TAKING 2 HOURS TO REPLY DOESN'T HELP MY MENTAL HEALTH".
Ok so this is a long post for a small point... but one that I felt needed to be made...
Until next time... xxx
