Episode 11: Women are ladies, Men are boys?

He says:

Men have always been simple people with simpler needs and basic instincts. (Thought bubble: Sharon Stone cross-legged pose *slurp slurp*)

Think about it. His evolution has been about simple discoveries: fire, food, land, etc. And basic inventions: bulb, burger, computer, etc.

And how did it all happen? Because he simply refused to grow up, he always kept the kid in him alive. The kid who never stopped asking questions, the kid always up to mischief, the kid who broke rules, defied convention. The kid who believed that the only truth was that he knew little. Though they might pretend it, men always know that they do not know it all.

Which is why men exhibit child-like excitement every time they discover something. They don't lose touch with their innocence when they give in to impulse. They lie out of fear of losing what they really like. They fight for what they want and don't stop at anything.

They do not want to be in control of everything. They do not want responsibility. They like to sit back and let women mother them.

Men know that for the sake of balance and maintaining equilibrium on the planet, it's essential for them to let the heart rule. Because, women have taken sole proprietorship of using their head.

Besides, most women believe they know it all. They believe they are grown up, lady-like and take upon themselves the responsibility of raising a child as a mother or a man as his wife.

It's almost like it is their purpose in life to manage their homes, their lives, their families and take upon themselves the responsibility and reputation of being "practical" and "mature".

Women simply love to believe that they are in control of their life. They like to believe they are grown up.

So men simply let them believe so. Anything that makes her happy. Because unless she's happy, how would he get his basic needs fulfilled?

She says:

Men just don't grow up.

When they're fifteen, attaching a tin to a cat's tail is their idea of a sophisticated joke. When they're in their twenties, they are convinced that water pistols even scores in ways debates cannot. When they're in their thirties, they battle their children for play stations. Fifty? Sixty? Seventy? They still find gross sexist jokes hilarious. And at eighty, only a man will marry a twenty year old, and steadfastly believe that women are more attracted to wrinkles than yachts.

And then they wonder why women think they're juvenile.

Why do women marry and date men older than them? Because men take so much longer to mature emotionally and intellectually. Date a man who's twenty-five, and be prepared for bursts of kleptomania "because we thought it would be kind of funny if we stole that no parking sign," random fist fights "oh yeah? You think your girlfriend is prettier than mine? Eat dirt," and stupid spends, "Dude, I got, like, this totally cool new phone. Only, I can't afford to eat for about a month now."

So men invented fire? If women weren't around to make use of the flames, they would have still been sniggering and pushing each other into the coals with `childlike excitement'. "Snort, snort, now it's your turn to roast." Luckily, their wives and girlfriends realised that the big, hairy thing in the fire needed to be replaced with real food, so dinner could be made.

Makes you wonder how far civilisation would have progressed without women.

Of course men like sitting back and letting women take charge. It makes their own lives so much easier. The thing is, women don't mind taking over.

After all, women have allowed men to run the world till now. And just look at the mess their inner-children have created!

Sometimes, you just have to use your head.
