Simple creatures, simplified.

Walking a very short walk for a very simple dose of caffeine, my dear gal pal and I were discussing the opposite sex. Strolling along, I was struck (not by a bolt of lightening - although given today's weather, that's not entirely impossible - or by a cabbie, ALSO not improbable) but rather an epiphany. It was not a new or completely remodeled idea, but one I had spouted (and recycled, when convenient) to any female in need of consoling...
"Men really are just simple creatures."

As I said it, I FELT it. It kinda hit me - not in the Ike and Tina way, but shell-shocking enough to compete in the Whitney/Bobby welter-weight. Men are simple. I don't mean simple-minded fellas, so don't get your Hanes in a bunch. I mean - you need to be fed, shown physical and intellectual stimulation, and sometimes humored. There really is no need for a manual (although it would be the shortest best-seller EVER). So if guys are so simple, why are relationships complicated?!

Then my gal pal said the thing that made it all so clear - like that day in high school chem class when your lab partner lit her acrylic nails on fire on the bunsen burner and you realized that karma is a very powerful force -
"Girls are like fish. We just need a few flakes of attention each day and we'll be satisfied."

I looked at her like she was Yoda. She's recovering and currently detoxing from her past relationship, but the lady is wise beyond her years...

So if both sexes are simple creatures, why the confusion?

If men think that women are more complicated than we really are, and women are overthinking how men operate, then aren't we just doing one another a dis-service by overcomplicating what could be a beautifully simplistic relationship?

1.)Go home.
2.)Grab your partner/lover/maid.
3.)Tell them you love them and their eyes/butt/etc. and mean it.
4.)REPEAT daily


Here's to repeating yourself, in a good way. ;)
