I was reading an article on
Bossip.com about the difference between men and women when it comes to having casual sex. Rapper Bow Wow, discussed the difference and talked about how women become jealous and obsessed, but that men are capable of understanding the difference between casual sex and sex in a relationship.
First off, who gives Bow Bow the right to suddenly be an expert, isn't he like 12? Haha. I kid, I kid. No, but I'm really starting to get tired of the overwhelming amount of men who feel that because they are in the spotlight they're experts on men and women as it relates to dating. Sure, I recognize that there is a difference in the way men and women interact, and I also recognize that women are emotional by nature, but I know several women who are capable of having sex and accepting it as just SEX. I'm tired of men portraying us as whiny, overly emotional, hormonal broads! I'll admit, all these things can apply to me, but that's only when I'm watching Lifetime, so suck it!
Maybe, I'm being harsh. In their defense men don't always think before they speak. Darn, I guess that's pretty harsh too. Point being is that, men aren't the only ones who want just a sexual relationship. I have friends who tell guys straight up, "I just want sex, and not a relationship." Sure, the majority of women probably would like a committed relationship, but aren't there men who equally want the same?
Where the problem lies
Here's the problem. Men and women communicate differently. Oftentimes, a man will know that a woman doesn't want JUST a sexual relationship, but he'll enter into the situation anyway. We women are just as guilty, because we know what the guy wants, and instead of walking away, we walk into the situation hoping "he changes" his mind. Some men think with their anatomy and some women think with their hearts.
These roles can sometimes be reversed. Equally, a man can think with his heart, and a woman can think with her anatomy.
NEWSFLASH
Men don't change their minds regarding sex. There are instances where more feelings are developed, but rarely does a man change his mind.
SIDENOTE
Why are there so many books written by men on how women should act? And, so many movies--once again, written by men on women? In my opinion, standards of a woman have been set so high, but not by ourselves. These standards have been set based on men. Don't get me wrong, I love, honor, and respect THE MAN. But, I'm sick of being objectified all because of a particular standard that has been placed. We should all be able to screw who we want, date who we want, and act the way we want without some celebrity or reject pointing the finger believing that he has all the answers.
So as I end this long blog, because of rants... Here's my finger
"screw you."
