Women are growing tired....

Women are getting tired, tired tired!!!!!

Tired of waiting for Prince Charming to come and sweep them of their feet. Tired of feeling like products on shelves, waiting and hoping for a suitable man to pick them up, read the label, decide they want them and eventually pay for them. Women are getting tired of hoping that he will notice her, hoping that he will talk to her, hoping that he will ask for her number, hoping that he will call…..

The remedy to this fatigue; we won’t wait anymore. We will drop hints, not subtle hints that may be mistaken for platonic jest, I mean all out, “there is no way you won’t get that I am interested in you” hints. When we need to, we will initiate the conversation, we will ask for his number, we will call him, heck we could even profess our affections. Very recently a friend shared how she decided she was tired of wondering whether a brother was going to make a move so she suggested a relationship. She simply asked him if the two of them could maybe date. How that story ends is irrelevant the point is that she didn’t wait for him to decide, she took the plunge and made her own decision. 

Women are also getting tired of waiting for a brother to pop the question. I am sure most of us know at least one girl who has been sitting in a relationship, ready for the ring for years now but the brother man simply won’t take the relationship to the next level. Something to do with how he is not ready, he needs more time(remind me again why his “clock” is the functional one and hers is not?) So what have my sisters decided to do now? They have decided that he cannot continue to enjoy the milk without buying the cow. Yes, some of my sisters are engaging in what we call the art of trapping. Which I will define as the act of planning a seemingly unplanned pregnancy to force ones boyfriend to marry you. I just want to take a moment to applaud all the undiscovered award worthy performances that are being put together out there, some of my sisters sure can plan and execute “trappings” to perfection. At the end of the day the poor man walks away with the milk, a cow and a calf. 

Women also grew tired of being the victims in instances of infidelity. Waiting for your philandering man to come back from his other women. Knowing that there are other women but not having the faintest idea what to do with the knowledge. So we decided what men can do we can do better. Why should we sit around waiting for remnants of attention and love? And so now they step out as well. It’s a pity though that society seems to be more forgiving of the philandering male than the philandering female.

p.s . (I am not condoning the acts; I am simply stating the facts).

(I would like to say thank you to an old friend who made my day by printing a booklet with 60 of my blog posts. He titled the book October Madness, A Chronicle of thought. Thank you very much PM for the wonderful and unexpected surprise. You brightened up my day, YES YOU DID)
