Uberfluff

 
 

Despite many years of effort and analysis, I still do not understand men.  And nothing makes me feel this lack of knowledge more than watching Bridezillas (or Jon & Kate Plus Eight or any number of TV dating shows).  What I don't understand is why there are so many men who are absolutely willing to put up with--hell, cater to--a woman who is (and I think this is the only accurate word) a complete and total emasculating bee-atch.

Being in a normal relationship, where I'm expected to show a modicum of respect and consideration for the other person's feelings, the whole thing is very confusing to me.  And I admit to being a bit jealous.  Did I miss a class or something?  I had asthma in high school and missed a few weeks of school.  Was that when we broke into groups and learned how to get a guy to spinelessly agree with your every whim and not raise the slightest objection when you override and belittle their every wish?

The easy answer would be that the guys in question are all pathetic losers who feel like they can't do any better.  And while I'll grant that is probably occasionally true, it's too universal a phenomenon to be true in every case.  Is there some kind of grand cultural emasculation of men going on in our country and this is one of the symptoms of a larger problem?  (Make no mistake, I do consider it a problem.  Because I have to deal with these women too, and never having anyone around to tell them to shut up makes it very difficult when you run into them in everyday life. Case in point: I went to a concert this weekend with a very high B-to-nice-chick ratio.  And it was very difficult to be near the stage, dance, and so on, with so many high maintenance girls demanding cattention from their sort-of dates.  Not to mention that the guys they're with are always super-tense and ready to fight with almsot anyone.  Not a physical fight, of course.  They're more of the, "I'll sue you for that!" type, but still, it's very annoying.)

So I guess what I'm getting at is that if you're a wussy kind of guy, you really need to sack up and stop putting up with that crap.  You know, for the good of society and stuff.

Prue, here's the deal with these men. They think they are supposed to desire these bitchy women. The mind set is "this woman is so difficult to please, yet she lets me lick her boots, therefore, I must be worthy and better than anyone else." Or the Mr. Fix-It mentality, "oh, I'm the only person that can handle her or deal with her, and I can fix all the things in life that she hates."
What these men don't seem to know is that the women they "love" actually hate the very sight of them and think they are even more pathetic for putting up with their antics. And what these women *really* want is for some man to tell them to shut the eff up and get a grip on reality. And then have wild make-up sex.

Ever notice that a good number of these girls are Lane Bryant sized? Puttting up with a smoking hot girl cause she may be a tad on the demanding side I can understand. But putting up with bitchiness from a girl that could play center for a d2 school is beyond my compre-hension.
