I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much.
And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men
think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.
Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you
to hold me."
I said "WHAT??!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in
touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a
man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not
what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to
sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a
nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with
her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits.. She couldn't decide which one to take
so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I
said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair
of diamond earrings. Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave
short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet
when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's
fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with
excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all> dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled WHAT?"
I then said "honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with
my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just
when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I
am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.
