This is the one and only time I will use this space to complain about the male race (I apologize in advance for not staying true to this statement, sorry guys but it's not my fault you tend to let me down and I feel like communicating my disappointment/frustration). So on to this tirade...first of all....hmmmm...well actually I've decided to abort this rant mostly due to the fact that this specimen is a good friend of mine and I don't have the motivation to come up with logical reasons as to why I should be angry with him without specifically naming his "I can't believe you did/said that" deeds. I guess I owe my frustration to my innocence, but then again if I always expected to be let down/not fully satisfied with the actions of the man population then that would be a sad life indeed. Oh well. I am now currently accepting the universal truth that the opposite sex (this applies to women as well) can never be and never will be perfect/understandable/not frustrating.
This makes me appreciate even more those shining, beautiful, and wonderful moments of hope when he (whomever he may be) rises to the occasion and goes above and beyond my expectations (and they are big, trust me). These fleeting glimpses of the capabilities of guys (and ladies, for all you men reading this) can only be described as a relief to the human mind. Sorry I couldn't come up with anything more poetic, but I believe a statement like this deserves to be logical and rational. What I mean "as a relief" is: for that single amount of time our thoughts and what we believe to be a "fantasy" or some sort of made-up depiction of how that person should act or be like, well it comes true and no guess work is needed. The guess work, this applies most stereotypically to women because we are "dreaming" beings, evaporates and becomes reality and we are pleasantly surprised! For example, the girl who sits at home imagining her first date (sounds like she has no life, and I'm that girl sometimes) will probably come up with some idea of what she wants to happen or how she wants her date to act. Of course things never turn out the way we plan, but there's also the possibility that she never imagined he would open doors for her and stand up when she leaves the table to go to the bathroom and he does these simple gestures, contradicting what "realistic" women believe to be impossible. Now you're probably thinking, "Come on Jessie, there's a slim chance this would happen." That's why I refer to these types of surprises as fleeting glimpses of the capabilities of men. Translated into real world talk this means the "normal man" would never do this. I think this is enough psychobabble for now! :) Wow, that was a super abrupt ending and I apologize. I blame this slip-up on my gradually closing eyes at this late hour.
