Guest Entry by MRD
While I am always flattered when somebody asks me to write a guest entry for their blog, it is usually my style to post only my own essays here. However, I came across the following entry in a friend’s private diary to which she foolishly kindly granted me access. I felt it to be worth sharing. She, like me, is not in the least a man-hater … just a confused and sometimes lonely woman wondering when, and if, The One will arrive.
*********************************************
being a woman is confusing. we are told we are too emotional and needy. SO many of us toughen-up, get strong, hold back on crying, and hold back on expressing our feelings/thoughts. if we open up to whomever, we are weakening again and found less desirable. so the tough few sit quietly with dreams and hopes, desires and wishes, waiting for that prince charming to show up. i mean IF we went out to get him we are considered to be too assertive and stalkerish. they SAY if he wants you he will come for you, if not, “he’s just not that into you” oh haha on us pathetic women! is it good that men still have so much power that we can sit and wait hoping the one we crave notices us? what do we have to do? trip him when he walks by hoping it’s us he sees? it would be nice if the men who seek these “strong” qualities in a woman held them himself. i see a lot of whiney ass men crying about abuses to them. lovely.
i see so many empty hearts waiting for their arrows. i see so many saying they are looking, i see so many games and auditions and rejections. why do we want to be part of this? maybe we crave the despair a sad heart holds when empty.
to all of you looking for that strong woman who lacks emotion, is open-minded, who won’t complicate your life, won’t ask anything, won’t ever have the need to be part of your world: BUY A DOLL!

Whining, unemotional, controlling, self absorbed, narcissistic men never receive much more than an UGHHHHH from me……..I have always been much too picky to sit through an entire dinner listening to the likes of such boring nonsense………….hence my nickname among friends of ‘the runaway date’ because of my saying to any of these losers at dinner, “excuse me, won’t you?” and leaving the establishment!!! I always laugh at their calls later saying they thought I’d gone to the ladies room. I must say that it makes no difference to me if anyone thinks I’m rude, cuz I think self absorbed losers are the height of rudeness. well, that’s my two cents worth………….do with it what you will !!!

Today seems to be Girl Power Day. Between the comments on my latest entry, arguing with a salesman about “What women really need,” and this, I’m ready to go kick the crap out of the next guy I see.

Maybe I should have been more explanatory……….I didn’t mean ALL men…………….as a matter of fact, I know more men who are very well rounded and delightful to be around….I didn’t mean my blurb to sound like a slight on ALL men…………….and I know just as many whiny azz women !!!

We both have our respective crosses to bear. All sorts of factors come into play. Money, is a big one. There are plenty of fine men that are handsome, witty and kind but are plagued by a lack of money. What woman will want to keep company with a man who can’t afford to wine and dine her? Or whose prospects are so dim that he thinks twice about even attempting a relationship.
The ones I feel bad for are the ones we deem as being “ugly”. You won’t ever see these people on the Today show or working in the high rises in New York or Los Angeles. They’re probably poor and will be found frequenting the one dollar stores just to survive along with the other inhabitants of the tenement. They won’t be found anchoring the evening news, that’s for pretty people. These are the ones who ultimately end up being invisible to the rest of us average types. We see them but pretend they aren’t there. To see them would be to acknowledge their existence and realize that somebody has it far worse than we do. We secretly breathe a sigh of relief that we aren’t them and feel relieved when they leave the room so we don’t have to confront their difficult lot in life. Oh crap, I went off-topic. Forgive me?

Feels good to have a penis. *looks around and sees he’s the ONLY one with a penis present*
Uhhh.. ahhhhh… I mean… damn those men!
