Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
Love is one of the most mysterious, yet wonderful things that we have been given. There have been many arguments between the sexes. Some men state that they do not understand women. Some women debate that men are insensitive. This battle of the sexes continues, and it seems as though neither sex is going to come out ahead. In the defense of the female population there is but another complaint.
One thing that has always baffled me about a certain percentage of the male species is their apparent inability to carryout promises that they make. Correction, the inability to follow through with promises that they make to a woman. For example: A guy may tell you that he will call you at a certain time, and more than likely he has no intention call you at all. In addition, he may also state that he will come by to see you at a specific time, or make plans with you to do something, and when the time does come he is nowhere to be found.
For the women like me who are curious and inquisitive we demand to know why. We expect to be given a reason for this apparent insensitivity. We all know that men and women are different, but that difference does not excuse the fact that sometimes other people's feelings get hurt when someone appears only to think of themselves.
Does it all come down to the fact that having to let a woman know they're running late or have had a change of plans remind them of having to report to their mothers when they were little? Well here's a news flash for the fellows; it has nothing to do with wanting to know where you are twenty four hours a day. Rather, it's simple concern. We worry when you don't call as expected.
Men respond by saying that women bitch and nag at them, but really, is that true? It seems to me that the ones who complain about this must know, deep down inside, that they are guilty of the accusation. They know it applies to them.
We're all familiar with the phrase "the truth hurts". It's true, the truth can hurt, and it hurts just as much when a man promises to do one thing and then turns around and does the exact opposite. How can men honestly believe that that's okay? It goes to the question of respect. If you've ever been stood up, regardless of your sex, you know how painful this is.
Good relationships begin with trust and honesty. This means that when involved with someone no matter on what level, love or friendship you should try never to hurt their feelings on purpose. Realistically we know that all relationships have problems, but why create something that is not there?
So for all you fellows out there, here's a bit of good advice. If you promise a phone call, then call. Same goes for emails, text messages or a visit. If for some reason you can't make it, let your lady know. If nothing else it demonstrates that you respect her and that she's important to you.
