Men are from Mars and women are from Venus




   I am not going to lie and really stressed out about some things. I have this friend ryan and I asked him what hoe does to just relax and go with the flow of life and he said , " I just dont let life get to me and I think about things that make me happy like friends and family."

What the fuck!! It may as well have been " Pink bunnies help me deal with life" I have fully come to the conclusion that men have diffrent issues than women and they dont even seem as bad. Womens issues have a category all their own because its so much and it takes a serious toll on us.

Even though men have simeler issues to ours it in no way compairs to the things we have to go through with ours.

Sometimes I hate being a woman because it makes things more complicated and I hate being emotional.!!!!

I think I would rather be from Mars than Venus sometimes.

(((((hugs))))) I totally understand what you mean. I think that men actually DO struggle with emotional ups and downs, only unlike women, they tend to box these feelings up for longer periods of time and find other outlets to sort of numb the "hardness" of life. Sports, alcohol, sex, and work are some really typical cover-ups for men. Women tend to take control earlier in life; really, they have to face the music ....and even more so after they marry and have children. This is something I've noticed in my marriage and in several of my friends' marriages. It is hard being a woman yes, but I love it. I don't think it is easier for either sex, it is just harder in different ways b/c society puts a different definition on each gender defining "successful" or "beautiful" or "smart" or even "happy". All in all I think that NOW is the only thing that matters for any body. Take advantage... and you are right, ignoring the hardships and concentrating only on the "happy" stuff like your friend does is so unrealistic. It sounds good but is not real. You are a smart young lady. De-Nile is not just a river..... tell your friend that. Take care of yourself- YM
