guys are egotistical, yes?

to all the guys reading this (yeah all three of you)... i'm sure you've had the following conversation or something to that extent with one of your mates before:

A: why are you breaking up with her?
B: nah man... she's too clingy...i need someone more independent
A: didn't you like the whole i like spending time with her and she too
B: yeah.. but i need someone who thinks on her own you know? stands on her own two feet? doesn't need me for every single thing.
A: err...
B: yeah...you know...its not that she can't be independent but rather she just chooses to be with me all the time...physically and emotionally...
A: so... ... you need/want space?
B: that's a way to put it..


i have had the conversation before, being both A and B. and on hindsight, i think i was a little ignorant to be playing the part of B.

and that hindsight has proved to be somewhat useful in me being A to a friend's B.

look.
it's simple reasoning even if guys refuse to believe it.





now, don't go all literal on me and speak of non-existant transexual love..
because taken as a figure of speech, all guys do tend to want someone more independent. and that my dear, is basically a guy in a woman's body.

the fact that they can think. choose to think. choose to be opinionated and powerful. and yet have the beauty of a jessica alba and a body of a scarlett. is that not already attractive to guys? (for egotistical reasons probably just that we choose not to admit it, or we just don't know it yet)

guys are so tuned to the fact that they will always be the more rational beings that when, god forbid, a hot lady can actually be on the same plane as them, while at the same time, happen to be their girlfriend (why? because the guy managed to "tame and subdue" and win the trophy girlfriend), how amazing would that be for the guy?

Guys' Thought Process

"yeah...i have this beautiful girlfriend, who is independent, knows what she wants, can manage things by herself, and still retain the side of females that we all love"

basically translates as...

"yeah, my girlfriend's fucking hot. she doesn't bug me with all her girly problems, especially during her monthly thing. i mean come on, she even wakeboards! how HOT is that for a girl? and she can even drink with my friends while not coming across as one of the guys! and we agree on having alone time sometimes. isn't that great? and i actually managed to nab her as a partner, how fucking awesome am i? i mean her?"

-----------------------------------------------------
guys prolly won't accept it, just like how my friend thought i was being sick by suggesting he go out with a transexual (according to him, man in woman's body).. but this is the sad sad truth.

now, to all the ladies reading...prolly four of you..
i am in no way suggesting that females are clingy creatures who must be treated as pets but rather, how should i put it?

okay, one of you most aptly described:
girls CAN be independent...when they are single. after they get attached, it's just more convenient to be dependent..

that statement gets my stamp of approval.
