The 'Men's Club Questions' Experience
posted Thursday, 20 October 2005
With 30 minutes of Thursday left, I began to ponder what I normally write about on here on Thursdays. Then reading through some other blogs it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't written this week's men's club entry. But, fortunately, I'm not the only one. But with 27 minutes left until I turn back into a pumpkin, I will write an entry. And it will be good. Promise. So with 26 minutes left, here goes....
The question this week isn't a question. But it's an opportunity for us to ask questions. More specifically to ask questions of the opposite sex to enlighten ourselves on our rather more attractive counterparts. So, as a man, the three questions I would like girls to answer are:
1. Why do you never want solutions when you are having problems? I've mentioned this before somewhere, but it is a very large issue, so is worth raising again. Ladies, lovely though they are, tend to talk about problems just for the sake of it. They tend not to want solutions to these problems and would rather continue to talk about them for years on end rather than actually solve them. This DEFIES LOGIC!!! And yes, I appreciate that logic isn't suitable in all circumstances (albeit perhaps roughly 0.01% of circumstances), but surely you talk about problems with a view to fixing them?
2. Why do you never like how you look in photos? As a general rule, people will look fairly similar in photos to what they look like in 'real life'. Therefore, ugly people look bad in photos. But attractive people will almost always looks great. My current female of choice refuses to have her photo taken, even though she's bloody lovely. This also DEFIES LOGIC!!! She is fit, and will therefore naturally look fit in photos. Whilst I will be the first to admit that a photo cannot ever capture someone's true beauty, they can certainly look rather lovely.
3. Why do girls often feel the need to change their partner into something better? By the time a man reaches his 20s, I feel that there is very little that can be changed about his personality. If he is a cheating, lying piece of shit at 20, he will most likely be a cheating, lying piece of shit at 30. Whereas men tend to go for women that they actually like everything about, women seem to look for potential and many seem to think that, with a little hard work, they can improve their man over time.
So there you have it. Three questions, which quite possibly cannot be answered. And since the last comment on this blog was made in 1987, I'm really not expecting any startling revelations to be made in the comments. But I can hope....
