We are just as baffled as you.

We are just as baffled as you.

I know Charlie, easy for me to say, as I sit here with a uterus, but although I understand your quandary, it is very much the same argument for women. What do you want?!

I can speak from experience that, as a race women are also confused. Take for example a recent episode I had with a man. He liked me. He tracked me down, and then the pursuit begins. Very primal. Man likes woman. Man chases woman. Then Man moves on to next Woman. This is pretty much how it played out. The minute I began to lower my guard, he vanished. It is lose-lose for us gals. If we call you then we are ‘Too keen.’ If we don’t then we are ‘playing the game’. If we even think to mention a ‘second date’ then we feel needy. Then if we even think to sleep with you, then we are the awful ‘floozy.’ So what is the right balance?

I would like to bluntly say we don’t want to bear your children. Well not after the first date anyway. We don’t want a diamond, and we don’t want to read Domain with you on a Saturday morning.

In response to you Charlie, I can’t speak for all women, as we are all wonderfully different, unique and exotic; however I hope I can speak for a few. We certainly don’t want the bastards. It may appear that way, when you are in a trendy bar, and all the cute girls are swarming over the table of arrogant, sleazy, well dressed men. However in most cases, these guys are single. Why is that Charlie? Because they are Bastards!

It is honestly not the case that women no longer need men. Well for straight women anyway. Truth is we need you. More than you realise. Not just because fundamentally women want to be held, told we are beautiful, and ultimately have children someday, but because you smell good, you’re strong and you behave so strangely at times we love it. We don’t need you, we want you. Agreed that society has changed, no loner do we have to wear stockings, and prepare deserts for our men. However it does not change the primal desires that are inherent within us. The money issue is very minor; I think personally it’s more of an issue for you. You’re threatened we are earning more money. I have to admit though, from a few recent dates, some men are a little neurotic. Constant calling or booty call messages at 1am. I will take those on a case by case basis, but that is down right painful and an immediate turn off.

I want some answers. I want to know why you don’t call when you say you will? I want to know why you say things you don’t mean? I also want to know what the rules are with the calling? Because to tell you the truth, you have all lost me!
