Retracting Retraction

After my last post, I received some strong negative comments. Women across the land back lashed against my musings the last time I wrote some thing. While I stand by what I said in the last blog I think certain comments were taken way out of context. Suddenly, women, even friends who I considered close friends were looking at me differently, "disappointed" in me as if I were some slime ball, sleazy piece of shit that marginalizes and abuses the entire gender.

I will be honest, and say I was a little upset and hurt that people read my blog taking what I said out of context and suddenly have done a 180 believing that I was not nearly the man that I once was in their eyes, a sophomoric child whose blog is nothing more than a rant meant to impugn women.

Most women read my last blog and are upset that I would suggest that women age "poorly" and men only look better. While that is what I said, it was taken out of context, its similar to the presidential candidates blasting each other on their negative campaign ads taking one line out of their opponents ideals and using it against them without taking into account the whole position.

Women age "poorly" not because women are the lesser of the two genders, but rather because men are the more socially superficial of the two. The question that must be asked is how many times have you seen a pretty girl with an ugly guy, versus an ugly girl with an good looking man? Few and far between is the obvious answer. The reason for this is women in general take into account a myriad of factors when choosing their mate, weighing physical attractiveness at a much lower level than any man would. So in turn, as a man ages, other factors play a more prominent role to women thus men have the ability to gain attractiveness rather than lose it; while the superficial man weighs physical attractiveness at such a high level and that does not really change as we age.

To quote Chris Rock "That's right I said it," but in the end I am certain that I will not get phone calls from my male friends that they are suddenly upset with me for stating verifiable facts. While I suggested such a small truth about women, which was something I heard from a WOMAN in fact. Don't you love the irony!

So in the end to those who commented that I am the un-datable male, I laugh, mainly because I know many of the males you are dating, and you have no idea what is actually going on in their head. I actually have the cohones to tell you what is being said without you in the room. This is a glance in the mentality of all males, when we get together over a poker table, smoking on phallic shaped cigars, discussing our sexual conquests, as a socialization to fit in with our male counterparts.

To be quite honest, I am way too nice of a guy, to a fault. I could list out all of the questionable actions that I have done in my life, write them down, and in all honestly it would be the equivalent to a college kids freshman year.

We all wear guises depending on the situation and social setting were are presented. When you go to work, when you are with your friends, when you are with you significant other, we all have a separate guise we wear so that we fit in depending on the situation. This blog is merely one guise I wear and I am sharing with you, so if you suddenly think you know me per this blog, than you are merely an ignorant fool who wants to live in your naivete ideals.

Finally, if you really don't like what I have to say, why are you wasting your time reading this blog, you must like something I say. For those of you who want to learn a little something about the male persona, listen, analyze and enjoy, I am giving you a backstage pass, don't make me revoke it.

In the end maybe I am being hypersensitive, if I want to be controversial I need to be able to handle a little flack, but fuck it, its my blog so I am going to defend myself. Its hard not to be a little defensive as I am opening myself to attack and having my friends view me negatively. If I didn't know any of you I guess I wouldn't care. Maybe this should be the end of the blog, hide and run, but I did say maybe!
