I'm sitting here right now talking to my sister Angie. She's talking about how vague and cryptic guys are. She just said "guys think we're hard to understand." Its true. She also said that guys seem to always make us carry on the conversation and I totally agree with that. Why do boys seem to complicate everything? Right now she's going through all of the things that a guy needs to be wearing, open about or just some sort of way to help us figure some things out. Haha, they probably think the same thing, and with good reason. Haha, what woman hasn't offended or scared a guy in the past?? Girls are SO moody. Cranky. Bossy. Demanding. And the list goes on.
Currently she's going through what the colors of a mood ring would be. Wouldn't that be nice if they all wore mood rings and they told us how they were feeling. Relient K has a song called Mood Rings, but in this song its the guy looking at the girl. But I think this goes both ways. No one is perfect. Miley Cyrus, despite all thats going on with her right now, she sings a song called "Nobody's Perfect." HOW TRUE!
How come every time a guy gets hurt he can't just own to the fact that someone just hit something into something that HURTS? They get hit or kicked or any other variation of pain...and the one most sensitive place seems to be the only one that ever gets a reaction. Most every other thing that hurts a guy just gets back up and says, "I'm fine." Despite whether they feel that way or not. BUT, you get a girl to have someone hit her and it hurts, either she cries or she lets you know that it hurts. Venerability is not always a bad thing. It seems almost impossible to get a guy to be venerable in a conversation. They're all closed up...then we act like somethings wrong and then they want to know, regardless of the fact that the only reason you sound like you're not okay is because they sound like they're not okay.
Will the sexes ever understand each other? Probably not, but thats what makes life interesting. And I mean interesting. My siblings did something at church for the older couples. They had them fill out on on a piece of paper what the answer to the question was. And most of them got it wrong. The women ended up coming out on the top. But that just goes to show you, that even after you've lived with a person for 20+ years doesn't make you understand them anymore than those of us that are teenagers (doesn't include me, cause I'm 20) and single. We will never fully understand each other.
The day after this dinner however, my brother took it upon himself to question Jonathan and I (my boyfriend) about the other. We got most of them right. I make it a point to remember the little details, cause thats just the kind of person that I am, but he knew a lot more than I ever gave him credit (sorry honey! :/ ). We'd been dating, I believe, 9 months at the time. But just because we know a lot doesn't mean we know everything. No matter how close a couple is, I doubt they know everything that the other, thinks or feels, their likes or dislikes, their unspoken dreams, they're unfulfilled dreams and countless other things.
So its simple in its complexities...I've summed it up in three points...
1. Guys will NEVER understand girls...
2. Girls will NEVER understand guys...
3. Like it or not...we'll never stop trying to understand each other.
Until my next ramble...hopefully not as long a wait as this one.
