In the Heat of Frustration

Why is it that men are so frustrating? They say that WE don't know what we want, but I'm convinced that THEY have no clue what they want. I find it amazing that men can say, with confidence, that they want a smart, beautiful, independent, confident, and fun woman but can't handle it when they get it. Some say that they want a family someday...maybe even someday soon...but can't find the simple words to tell his woman how he feels let alone commit to forever with her. Screw forever...can't even commit to plans more than 24 hours down the road! I don't understand how men can wage war, kill things, get in a bar fight like it's no big deal but turn into a big cowardly mass when it comes to women. Are we really that scary, boys?

They say that they want a woman who won't make them guess what's on her mind. A woman who won't say stupid stuff like, "Well, you should just know what's bothering me." But, when they are confronted with a woman who tells them like it is, they can't handle it. "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" They say that they don't want a woman who's wrapped up in drama or plays games, yet they play more games than most women I know: saying sweet things, doing sweet things, making you feel like the only woman on earth, then nothing! No calling, no emails, no clue that they've even remembered you're alive let alone all the sweet things they just told you the day before.

When a MAN is confronted with a woman who puts it all out there: I like you, I want to see you, I want to spend time with you, etc. they freeze up. It's like they ENJOY when a woman treats them like crap and never lets them know where they stand with her. Yet it's these same women that end up being their biggest complaint when they finally land her into a relationship! I don't get it. Maybe it's because men like to think they've evolved past the caveman hunter days into the more "in touch" men of today, but they haven't. They SAY what they think they want, yet find it much easier to just club her over the head and drag her back to his cave...just like the buffalo he killed for dinner last night.

SO, you're looking for easy? No, wait, because if a woman is "easy" she's a slut that you have no respect for. But, if she doesn't put out, you don't call. Yeah, WE'RE confusing. I've heard that men are simple...not complicated...and that it's women who are confusing. Sure, we're a bit complex, but we have to be. If we're too simple...speak MAN language, then men freak out! It's like we're supposed to talk in woman code, get mad at you when you can't figure it out, let you complain that women are frustrating, and then all just get along in spite of all this!

I'm sick of it. I think men need to, well, MAN UP!!! You all wonder why there are so many jaded bitchy women out there...it's your fault. I'm not a man hater, but I'm seriously SICK TO DEATH of men strutting around acting holier than thou, and complaining about how women are confusing, bitchy, or just frustrating. Well, news flash guys: you're not helping the problem. It's amazing more women don't have bloodied foreheads from banging our heads against a wall!

Sorry it's a bit disjointed, but I had to rant. Women, I'm sure you feel me. Men, feel free to shed some light on this for all of us women who can't decided to strangle you or kiss you. One final growl and I'm done...for now. GGGRRRR!!!!!!
