... I agree, it's pretty fucked ... !!!


Yes, poor dear Tiberius,

Yes, I concur that your situation is rather fucked (excuse my French)!! But then again you have already asked me so you don't need me to reconfirm, however I thought I should be duty bound to put my thoughts up ...

Of course, you have to realise that women are of the genetic make up such that when they find a good thing and it is in front of them, they bolt like there is a werewolf hot on their heels. Ask female ....

Have a seat, let me explain ...

From a young age, we were taught that teenage adulation was quite normal and given enough perseverance, pop stars and movie stars you can never have are attainable. We write fan letters, and agonise over who they are kissing in the next movie (wishing it were us), and when we do not hear a response, we assume that this is NORMAL behaviour for a man.

Enter Reality Prince Charming. Somehow we don't want him. It's too much for our senses to have Mr Perfect thrown away and that's not much of a challenge. We want to go after the BAD boys. The ones we can't have who will make lousy husbands, drunk lovers and sexist boors. You've seen all the American high school reunion movies. The jocks with no brains who drive fast cars - must be that female need to get in touch with our Neanderthal counterparts. The less conversation, the better, it would appear. Then we can strive towards trying to wring a commitment out of them and wonder why our messages and "subtle" hints aren't getting through.

We tend to see through Mr Perfect, Mr Dependable and Mr Loyal. It's too easy. After all, haven't we learnt that men are a struggle .. challenge? Even if it is our soulmate standing in front of us, we somehow subconsciously create obstacles for ourselves. We would always look a gift horse in the mouth, take the narrow and winding road instead of that paved with gold ....

Makes you wonder what planet women were trained on ....
