2004-08-01 ~ 10:54 p.m. ~ More complaints about men
It’s so easy to be misunderstood. As much as I hate to be misunderstood, there is no way people can really understand what I mean. They claim to understand, but I think they still think of me as selfish. Farm-man wanted to introduce some guys to me, and asked when I was going to visit Ohio. I said I never thought about it and don’t think it would be anytime soon. I asked what kind of guys are those. He replied that they were looking for someone who knows how to cook. I beg your pardon? I told him they just need to get a chef or a maid to do that. He said they are also looking for someone who can cook and love. I just don’t think that goes down well with me. Yes I can cook, but I don’t think I want that to be the reason why a guy likes me. Then he said, since I could cook for 1, what’s the big deal with cooking for another person? The guy can do the dishes and laundry. I told him he’s missing the point. It’s not about me being able to cook for another person, but that the guy needs to learn how to take care of himself first. Does that mean he can’t survive on his own if he doesn’t have anyone to cook for him? What does he survive then? MacDonalds everyday was the answer. Then he said people has to learn to give and take, then they can live in harmony. I really think he’s missing out the whole point here. Or maybe he already labeled me as selfish. I don’t think I had to explain the whole thing to him, but I don’t need to mother someone else’s child to feel my maternal instinct, or feed another creature to feel accepted. If I cook for someone, it’s really because it’s out of my own love, and I really wanted to do it for the person, not because of a daily survival reason. If I can take care of myself, I expect my other half to be capable of taking care of himself as well. Men has to stop relying on women. But someone told me that men seriously can’t live without women.
