Made For Each Other

Men and women are, without a doubt, on a different level of thinking when it comes to all aspects of life. In theory, I believe all women think the same; but guys, on the other hand, don't think like women because quite frankly we'll be too confused than we already are. Essentially, there are basic truths about guys and girls in which both see the world from a different perspective that hopefully doesn't offend anyone. It's just a humoristic look at the basic and simplistic style of guys against the detailed and analytical style of women. When you think about it, it's the challenge of both men and women to try to understand each other even though we can drive each other absolutely up the wall.

When it comes to shopping men treat the experience like a battle plan. For if something doesn't fit or is torn to the point it can't be worn again our objective has been initiated. Once we get to the store, absolutely nothing will hinder us from our target unless a new video game has just come out or we're hungry. In our own thinking, spending more than an hour just walking around, buying and accomplishing nothing is a waste of time. For a woman, on the other hand, spending more than an hour just walking around is considered window shopping because in their own mind they are just getting warmed up. When it comes to shopping, women just take it more seriously than we do because it's in their blood.

Doing the laundry is something that both men and women do differently as well. For a woman, she will wash clothes at the end of every week because she doesn't want to run the risk of being seen wearing the same thing. For their process of separating articles of clothing are colors, whites, darks, and delicates is a system that is absolutely foreign to guys. For a guy, we'll wear every article of clothing we have until we need to do laundry or we just reuse certain articles of clothing such as pants and shirts, which we just turn inside out. As a guy, we have just two piles, dirty and funky; dirty we can wear again and funky...well, we have to actually wash because the smell will seriously knock someone out.

The relationship between guys and girls is completely different because quite frankly we don't get emotionally attached to each other. The male relationship is considered very simplistic and I'll give you a perfect example: A group of guys are hanging out and one of them announces that he is breaking up with his girl or getting a divorce. The basic response for a guy is, "Sorry dude" and we'll go back to whatever we were doing before he said that. Now, when a group of women are gathered around bonding and someone announces a break up or a divorce, an emergency style meeting ensues where they analyze what went wrong point by point. In all likelihood, tears will be shed and that guy will be ostracized from pictures, as well as not be acknowledged by her friends.

In retrospect, there are so many things that we're on a different level of thinking on such as shopping for food, asking for directions, certain kinds of movies, farting in public, what's considered funny, how many shoes a person needs, what guys are thinking which is NOTHING at the moment, and the list goes on and on. If you stand back and take a really good look at what we do as men and women, it is quite humorous. Thinking about it, men and women make each other feel like they want to kill themselves when things go wrong but yet, make each other feel alive when things go absolutely right. Ultimately, even though the things that both sides do make no sense at all, you have to agree on one thing, which is that men and women are made for each other.
