The Problem With Men and Women

By darkness_descends

I have something to say
To all of you stereotypical guys
Who think women and hearts are just games to be played
And care not for the salty sting of tears you bring to their eyes.

You're testosterone driven and hormonally crazed
Cold, dead, heartless, and emotionally depraved
You've got your head up your ass
And your brain in your pants.

I can't stand those who womanize
Stop telling your empty lies
The women you use are human and they do feel
The pain that you cause is far too real.

When you look at a woman what do you see?
An object, a notch on your bedpost, another trophy?
Do you not see a beautifully intelligent mind or an open caring heart?
They are more than just toys for you to tear apart.

Just for one minute get sex off your mind
Take time to talk, you'll be surprised what you find.
You'll see more than just and object,
Rather a person who feels, thinks, and deserves respect.

Those of you who think only with your dick
You all make me sick!
This may be strange coming from a guy...
But it's because of people like you that the belief in true love is starting to die.


Women you're not perfect
As you seem to suspect
You complain you can't find a truly nice guy
But how can you if you don't open your eyes?

You instantly assume
Any man who approaches you
Is just trying to get in your pants
You'll never find a nice guy if you won't give us a chance.

How do you know that when he says "Hi"
His intentions aren't to try and see the person inside?
Maybe he's just lonely and looking for a friend
And because of your assumptions his lonliness never ends.

If all men want is sex the power is yours
They can't have it if you say "NO!"
That much is for sure
And after that if they still stay maybe they're worth getting to know.

If all men say is nothing but lies
Then why do you continue to believe the same dumb lines?
You need to take some time
And stop judging before you know the person inside.

Otherwise that sweet, nice guy
May just pass you by.
But you'd never know what you missed
Because the thought of trying to know him was instantly dismissed.

It can be hard for some people to deal with the basic urges that the vast majority of people have, despite what they may say. Outstanding write, glad I stumbled upon it.

    As a male myself I thought I was the only one who feels that way about the human male collective. I agree with this to the letter. -Michael

    True Love cannot grow without true intimacy.. and true intimacy is what has been lost.. it is something that cannot be found between the sheets, that is only one place it can be expressed.. -Michael
