Insensitive

    I have been reading my girl friends' blogs, and I couldn't agree more with Claire, men topic always gets a space in our blogs. From bitter feelings to kilig moments, men have their way on injecting dosage of emotional roller coaster into a woman's life. And I bet they don't even have a teeny-weenie hint about it.

    From a saying that goes, "Behind a successful man is a beautiful woman.." comes another, "Behind a woman's blog is an insensitive man."

    Gone are the days of colorful diaries where we keep dried roses in between the scented pages of love and frustrations(and more frustrations). Gone are the days when we cry in one corner and hoping that the love of our lives would notice us and hopefully(fingers crossed) ask us what was wrong so we could answer our famous "Nothing!" and hopefully again(fingers crossed again) they would start thinking why (which most of the time they won't).

    For the 21st century women now have blogs for our 21st century insensitive men who are now more busy with work(really?) or ogling over Viva Hot Babes' boobies, NBA Games, Boy's night out, Magic and the most famous computer games.

    Is deficiency in human sensibility actually natural in men? Are women really hard to comprehend? or is it men are just too lazy to perceive us?

    It just amazes me how well men deceive us during courtship. They'd give you flowers and chocolates in daily or weekly basis. They'd text and call you every minute just to say "hi" or "you're always on my mind". They'd figuratively swim across the atlantic just to see you. And the most mystifying of all, they would literally miss the NBA finals or a computer game just to spend time with you. And when you've finally felt like a real Juliet and have fallen into the trap, your ever so sensitive Romeo will transform into Pinochio (more dangerous because his nose won't grow everytime he lies), or Peter Pan (who refuses to grow old) or Frodo (whom you'd never hear from again because he suddenly got an important mission to save middle earth) or even The Frog Prince, instead this time the handsome Prince will turn into a frog.

    This is the time when we will start to complain and waste enormous time wondering like the Black Eyed Peas' famous question: "Where is the Love?". And all we get is a blank faced "andyan ka nanaman, nag ddrama ka naman." or "hay mga babae talaga" or "bakit? meron ba sa iyo ngayon?". Guys, we only have monthly period every month (that's why it's called monthly ok) and if you find your girl grumpy and not talking to you almost everyday or everyweek, then something's definitely wrong. So toss your 'manly' insensitivity aside and try practicing your interpersonal skill enshrouded beneath your childish ways.

    Women may be gifted with patience but we can only bear too much. So before we reach our boiling point and before you catch yourself drop-jawed asking "Why?" and "What happened?" start asking her now, talk to her and actually listen. Better yet, read her blogs and read between the lines before it's too late. Maybe along the way, you'll also realize that women are actually not that hard to figure out.
