Women Are From Venus, Men Are Clueless

Numerous stories, tips and books have been written about the differences of these two species – man and woman – since ten gadzillion years ago. Most probably, during the neatherdal time, they even scribbled on the walls of their caves their own stories out of stones and sticks.

Women are all peaches and candies, strawberries and honey, cotton candy and sweet. They perspire and not sweat. Men..well, are just not any of the above.

Now, why did I picked on the word clueless today? Simply because I need to rant a tad about how some men are just plain clueless about treating women and they wonder why the women keep on running away from them.

Take a simple situation. Going out on a date.

• For God’s sake, please pick up a decent place to go for dinner. A&W may offer you a whole range of burgers and fried chicken. They even throw in curly fries and upped your drinks to large if you pay additional 99 sens. But, this is a date. I do take all the pain to put on a nice dress and waxed and err..ok I digress here. But the bottom line is, woman do take great pride in dressing up to go somewhere but not A&W.
• Deodorants were not created to look great on the shelves of the pharmacies. They are there for a purpose. And I can throw you plenty of reasons why too.
• Get comfortable ironing those shirt. I mean, here I am stepping out from my house wearing something nice (see the pattern here?) and you arrived in crumpled shirt? Leave that “The Only Thing My Dad Got In London For Me Was This Tshirt” t shirt at home.
• When we are sitting at the table and the waiter brings in two menus, they are meant to be read by two people. That means you and I are suppose to flip through the menu and we choose what we like. Not you order for me.
• Dinner is suppose to be spent eating and exchanging stories. Yours and mine. Dont assume that I dont get enough of your chiropractic stories who tried to fix your back after you did some weird positions with your last GF. Honestly? I dont want to know.
• Telling me allllllllllll about your ex GF. REALLY NOW. I DONT WANT TO KNOW.
• I have a friend who coined a term – courtesy call – right after ..you know, had a booty call or a hook up somewhere. Ms J firmly believes that a man can still be a gentleman and not a cad in a girl’s mind long after the spermicide is washed and rubbers are thrown. All he needs to do is to check whether she has arrived home safely or just a quick call telling how enjoyable the evening was.
• Being a single mom can be a tad tricky in the dating game. A single mom with a teenager who likes to know with whom she goes out with in a bit harder too. I prefer to be upfront with my new friend that I do have to pick her up at certain hour and that house visits will not be in the agenda, at all. So far no issue there. But unfortunately I do have some friends  whose new guys just doesnt see the rationale or the morale behind the no-visit-when-kids-are-around rule.
• I have written about this big no-no again and again. Men. Take heed! Do not undress another woman with your eyes when you go out with your woman. Sure, the sways of the hips and the perfume are irresistable but keep the urging to the minimum level. Masturbate before going out if you must so that you dont look like a cad.
• Call it conservative. I really dont care. But I do believe that men should be picking up the tab on the first date. Not that I mind picking it up later on during subsequent meet, if I feel its worth for a second date.

Sigh.

No, mustnt give up. Thats for sure. But its like. You know. Looking for a pin in a haystack. Maybe I should use metal detector instead? hmmmmmm
