Why are men so crazy? I've
coined a new term, "flam-boring," in an
attempt to describe how out of control crazy, yet how predictable and
boring almost all men are to me. I realize that this sounds like I'm
putting myself above other men and I'm not. I'm putting
myself above all of the overgrown boys who try and pass themselves off
as men, and that's a lot of warm bodies with cold hearts and slow
brains.
You bet I'm angry. I'm not saying that every woman who wants to
partner with a man deserves one, but from my point of view most who do
seem ready, willing, and able to meet these idiots half way. In fact,
the major flaw of these women is that they're willing to meet these
idiots more than half way, all the way in some cases trying to drag
these cave men onto square one of the chess board of life.
So why am I angry? Because I'm a man and I'm beyond tired of
hearing women say "I wish there were more men like you." So not only am
I embarrassed for my fellow "men," as someone who takes the world a bit
too seriously I'm convinced beyond doubt that the problems that plague
our world are not merely the result of trouble between nations and
religions, though that certainly is a big part of the troubles
preventing us from living in peace. The biggest trouble facing the
world right now is the problem of how women and men relate to each
other, or don't relate to each other, to be more precise.
Take the problems I have with religion. You don't have to even
scratch the surface of the major religions of the world to see that
they view women as second class citizens. This renders them incomplete
as ways to live by, makes their flowery words ring hollow, and renders
them just about useless for anything other than comforting the
bereaved, as far as I'm concerned. No good can come from any religion
that views women and sex and women's rights as secondary issues. You
cannot love "god" if you don't love women and consider them less in any
way than men. In my humble opinion women are far superior to men in
scientifically demonstrable and provable ways. Any man who doesn't
think so just isn't thinking, doesn't want to admit the truth, or
hasn't met a real woman.
But that's not why the whole reason that I'm so angry about this
situation. It's because it's relatively easy to stop being a jerk and
start being a man and yet so many guys don't do it. They relate better
to their male friends than to the women they supposedly love or are
married to. This is devastating to their children and that screws up
the future world and the present one and I live in the latter and I
hope to live in the former, so I have a stake in men acting like real
men, not overgrown children.
A man's role is to protect and serve - yes, the same motto that is
written on the side of every Los Angeles police car. A man's role is
not to tell women and children what to do, but to serve and protect
them in partnership. You don't boss your partner around. You discuss
things. You offer your best opinion based on your sincere desire to
offer the best guidance you're capable of. It's not a contest. And
giving up the life of a single guy is not a hardship, it is the best
thing for a man, once they've found the person they want to live with.
Trying to keep your youth going by hanging out with your friends and
doing the same things you used to do when you were single is like
trying to stop the aging process. Stay fit, stay sharp, but stay home
and be with the ones you love. Life is short, very, very short, and
wasting it chasing one's rapidly receding youth and hairline is a true
waste of time.
And the whole macho thing - sheesh! Trouble starts the moment a
man forgets the "serve and protect" motto or when he hasn't learned it
in the first place. The whole "machismo" problem comes when the man
turns on his loved ones the strong and stern face he should be showing
to everyone and everything threatening to mess with his loved ones.
This is not brain surgery, guys, this is manhood 101. There's no place
for being a scary guy to the ones you love. And ladies, don't equate
scary with strong - they're two different animals.
I have to admit that I don't understand the whole thing here. For
example, I can't figure out why so many otherwise sane women go for the
"bad boys." When I'm not mad at guys for causing great women pain and
suffering, not to mention postponing the joy these guys could have if
they'd shut up and listen and learn, I realize that we're all human and
I have compassion for all concerned. But sometimes I get angry that I
have to feel sorry for these guys, just because they're too lazy to do
the work and grow up and enjoy the small but powerful life that comes
from living in partnership and contentment. What do you think? Write to
