Snowy Nights

It’s snowing this evening.  We have about 2 inches as I write this.  It’s a soft, fluffy snow.  I love evenings like tonight.  Softly falling snow, the quiet, the white branches and ground.  These are the kinds of nights I like to get out and walk. But, I’m still fighting off this bug.

Double Yuck

I am definitely sick.  Sigh.

Yuck.

I think I’m getting sick.  I can’t afford to be sick… especially right now.

Social Retardation

I have a MySpace page.  I logged into it yesterday to find a message waiting for me from someone I don’t know.  The sender’s page is that of a 26 year old woman from Michigan.  Her page says things like, “I’m a lover, not a hater,” and that she doesn’t allow negative people around her.

Her blog has quotes like:

 “Hurt people, hurt people”

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”

“What goes around, comes around”

One  quote says:

 Just remember that you are beautiful, stop caring about the judge-mentals.

Where is my post leading?  Well…. her message to me was:

 “

Ummm?

 

You look like a serial killer. Shave the beard, dude.”

What an opening line.  Sheesh!

This article just goes to show that there is still a lot about our own world that we don’t know.

The Science of Love

On this supposed day of love, nearly every outlet is concentrating on love.

Here is an article about how science is trying to learn about attraction and love.  For instance, a study asked “Which of these is more attractive?”

I say the one on the left is “prettier”.  But, “attraction” to me is not just about whether someone is pretty or not.

Man Bashing, Yet Again.

I saw an interview on Fox News with Georgia Witkin, PHD, who wrote a book called, “It’s Not You, It’s Him!”

A couple of points she made in the interview:

• Women have a big checklist of things they want in a man.  “Men have basically two things.  They want a woman who likes them and want her to initiate sex and they are happy.”
• Women have much deeper feelings, while men don’t have as deep feelings, but fall in love quicker and out of love slower.  “First in, last out,” as she put it.
• “Surprisingly,” men are more romantic than women.  Women like to read about romance, watch chickflicks and such but don’t really (want to?) live it.  Men want the romance and want to make the women happy.

Supposedly, she has the “studies” to back up her claims. So, men are once again getting a bad rap from the misandrist, sexist females who call themselves scientists.  Even if it’s partly complimentary to men — as in the third example above — the compliment is a backhanded one.  If a man were to say, “Surprisingly, women are smart,” he’d be excoriated.   If a man were to make derogatory claims about women like she does about men, she would be furious and calling him a misogynist. She would be berating him and making him out to be a horrible human being. But, misandry is just fine anywhere at anytime. Why is it always acceptable in society to make the man out to be defective, less than women, and stupid?
