What Men Want?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extracted from a blog written by whyistheplatypus:

I like the idea of having someone to come home to or having someone come home too me, I really want to be able to introduce people to the lovely woman on my arm as “my wife” and be able to look at her and know exactly why I am there, why I chose her, and always wondering how I got so lucky that she chose me. I know there will be days of doubts, but above all I want to believe in this world of rising cynicism and failed marriages that I am better than the 48% of failures, that I can adapt and in today’s world with today’s expectations I can have a marriage every bit as successful, happy and together as my parents.

I want to be father. I want to raise my children, I want to fail at things with them, I want to find myself repeating the things my Dad did that made me go “when I have kid’s I’ll never do that’ simply so I know that the acorn didn’t fall far from the tree…

I was moved seeing the above blog entry. Well, at least or rather finally, I have found a guy out there who has thought of settling down. I don’t know if he will ever read this, but I truly respect and admire him for writing this. Nowadays, not much guys will think this way or even penning down such thoughts online.

I like how he illustrated the heart-warming feeling of having a wife. The words are like a painting brush that painted a wonderful picture filled without lots of love and happiness in my mind. The blogger’s desire of falling in love, getting into a relationship or parenthood, really did make myself think, “Do all guys think like him?”

I certainly hope every guy does. Or at the very least, I hope he does. However, sadly, majority of the guys think otherwise. Guys seeing wives to be their life burden rather than a life partner, who will pick them up when they are down, give back rub when he is tired, stay and share the miserable part of life together without grumbling.

Around me, I see girlfriends broke off with their boyfriends all because their boyfriends cannot suppress their infidelity. That is saddening. No one can really pin point what has happened to the guys of this generation. Don’t they ever think that they are doing something iniquitous that will probably hurt someone whom they dearly loved?

I hope he will not walk the path of others philanders that deserve to die tragically. After all, I will end my single-doom this weekend. Finally something blissful is happening. *smiles*
