When it comes down to it, as much as I like to feel like a fiesty, strong little woman who has the upper hand in relationships, men always call the shots. I hate to admit this, but I wonder WHY?? If a girl calls off a relationship, it's socially accepted that a man is allowed to woo her back via: poem, serenade, flowers...any kind of soul bearing groveling that will get the job done. But women, if we are broken up with, we eat a gallon of ice cream and some fried chicken and are forced to move on with our lives. If WE grovel, we look desperate, needy, clingy, and that is inherently a bad thing.
So what gives? When men decide they need us back in their lives, many times they win. Women care too much! We want to see the best in someone (he was always so nice...when he was in a good mood...and not looking at himself in the mirror...), we hold onto our emotional attachments (ommmmg I loved how he used to text me back in a somewhat timely manner...or the time we went to the mall and he complained until I took him out to eat-it was so endearing the way his nose crinkles when he whines...), we TAKE THEM BACK. But guys--they throw us away like a used condom, and don't look back. They don't care, they never will.
But why can't I throw a rock at some dude's window and hold a boombox over my head? Why can't I decide I don't want to live without him anymore? I mean, I guess I could, but I just don't think a guy would respond to "In Your Eyes" the same way girls do.
It really doesn't matter how you look at it...we, women, will always be the ones stuck in a tower waiting for our knight to save us.
