A Guy Thing

To understand a guy, you don't have to really think that hard to figure us out. The male species is considered more basic than complex because we are all about simplicity. We thought about it and then moved on and that is why man invented instant replay. For when something semi-important happens we have a referee to check and tell us if the play was correct or not. When it comes to using the most powerful muscle in the brain, it's not one of our strong suits because when we start to think we usually get into hot water afterwards. Inevitably, when it comes to using brain power, women have us beat hands down. There is no denying it because quite frankly we don't like to think, it hurts our head.

When it comes to fashion, guys rarely don't have that eye for style as women do. It's that attention to detail that we don't have the time and patience for because as long as our clothes fit we will wear them. For when it comes to buying clothes, we tend to use a military-like strategy. When we go into the store we seek out our objective and when our objective is met it's a job well done. Let me tell you something, if you asked us to describe what we are wearing from the neck down our response would be a shirt, pants, and shoes. Plain and simple, nothing to go into detail over and we get straight to the point. For it's our mentality that if it absolutely feels comfortable, we will wear it even if it doesn't match.

The one thing that every person shares in common is that each of us has a butt. Yet a guy will not worry over the size and/or shape of his rear end because in the whole scheme of things, we really don't care what it looks like as long as we know it's still there. There are occasions we oftentimes don't realize we have one until it itches or a potentially potent gas is released due to eating foods that involve using salsa on it. It's been said that a guy's rear end is connected to our brain and when we scratch it, it helps in the thinking process, which hasn't been scientifically proven to be fact. In any case, when it comes to the buttocks, as long as we can still sit on it we're still happy campers.

As said before, guys are known for random acts of stupidity that would cause absolutely embarrassment, bewilderment, and/or bodily harm. Every guy knows or is friends with that one person who will do something so outlandish that stupid isn't quite the word you would look for. Personally speaking, I have a friend who stopped his car in the middle of traffic, went out, ran around it, got back into his car and drove off. His honest to goodness explanation was that he just wanted to do it which to me was the most dangerous and stupid thing to do; but he had the cojones to pull it off. When it comes to doing something before ever thinking about it we win hands down and usually we end up paying for it in the end.

Someone once said, ~Men are like a fine wine. They start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with.~ We may be grown up and matured, but on the inside we're still little kids at heart. Personally speaking, I'm 27 years old and I still get excited whenever I hear the ice cream truck roll around. For we will still make up secret handshakes, have burping contests, pull practical jokes, do prank phone calls, play video games into the wee morning hours, and says and do stupid things. Though idiotic it may seem, it's a guy thing and in the end you gotta love and accept us for being who we are.
