Rock Bottom

Talk to a man about the weather, politics, the stockmarket and you have an animated conversation waiting to happen. But ask a man to talk about his feelings; and you have an animated conversation waiting to combust!

What is it about feelings that men find it so hard to divulge them? They will take out the garbage for you; carry your groceries for you; change poo-laden diapers, no matter how yuck; but they will not--no, NEVER--divulge what lies at the bottom of their hearts.

Here are a few, nakakaiyak examples:

Lady: Why do we need to see each other?
Current Date: Do you ask that of your other friends!
Lady: (Friend?!?) Uh.. sometimes I do, if only to find out what their plans are.

Note: Mr. Friendly Friend has showered her with stuffed toys, flowers, other gifts outside her birthday, Christmas Day and other special occasions.

Lady: Hey. What happened to you? You suddenly vanished.
Erstwhile Date: I lost your number. Here's my new number. What's yours?

Note: Erstwhile Date has her email address.

Lady to a 50-something man: Will you take it against me if I go against your suggestion? I mean, will you get angry?

After 48 years:

Man: ----

And I thought I wanted to get married?!? ... WA HA HA!!
