What Women Should Know About Men, Before Trying to Change ThemWritten by Peggy Butler
WARNING: The following commentary is one woman’s introspection, and is NOT meant to vilify male species. However, if jock strap fits, wear it proudly guys. After 15 months of pure bliss, you and your significant other are still glowing in aftermath of romance. Incredibly, you note with satisfaction, that you have perfect relationship; complete with great sex, stimulating conversation and tons of fun. Quietly assessing situation, you think to yourself, “Although things are great, there are things about my partner that I would like to change.” Then it hits you like a ton of bricks, “If anyone can break my mate of those awful habits like eating like a pig and telling jokes that would bore dead, it’s me.” Psst, ladies before you spend one more minute thinking of interesting ways to change your significant other, let me remind you of a quote by legendary astronomer Galielo who said: “You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself. “ Translated, that means IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE A MAN, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY. For centuries women have come up with a barrage of formulas to change their lovers or husbands, all to no avail. The secret to understanding men lies in concept that they are guided by 12 principles. And they are: 1.He is convinced that he knows everything. And that reminds me, a mule’s head is bigger than a man’s, and they certainly don’t have a monopoly on intelligence. So, chalk one up for female species. 2.He must prove his manhood at all times. Morning, noon, night, and in-between. Whew! No wonder they’re so confused. 3.He will always think that he is smarter than you are. If you love him, let him think that. We know real truth, don’t we ladies? 4.He is convinced that women are weaker sex and biggest gossips. Have you ever watched a male gossip columnist in action? Picture Ru Paul on steroids. Shall I say more? And speaking of “weaker sex,” have you noticed Serena Williams’ biceps? Tennis anyone?
