Men are "Me" Oriented

Me Oriented

Lalalalalala I am happy, I am only watching this program on tv and thinking of nothing else, as amazing as that can be, only thinking of one thing. Q: What am I?  A:  A man.  How can that be?  How can men do that?  I want some of that..........I am lucky if I can limit my thoughts to 3 things at once.  That would be considered a relaxed state of mind for me.

A customer once told me as I was happily engaged and so excited to get married, she said I am going to tell you this, and I want you to really listen, 2 things that will take you though life, 1. Men are “me” oriented, it is just the way they were made and 2. Always ask yourself, “does it really matter?”  You know, I have gotten some really good advice in life, but Susan, thank you so much because I think of you often and really listened to you when you told me these 2 things and they have helped me tremendouslly.

I am not making excuses for men, and I will probably make a lot of women and men, people upset by writing that, thinking that oh, I am protecting men and making their self centeredness ok, but I actually really believe that is the way most of them are and they can’t help it.  And yet another responsibility of women is to help men realize it.  This means reminding them of what they have to do to help you.  I know it is a hassle, and I am still getting used to it myself because I think dudes should think of things on their own, but they don’t.....so if you want to get some of the work load off of yourself and get a little help, you have to ASK.  It won’t occur to men on their own, because they are again, only thinking of one thing at a time.

This is especially helpful when you have children.  Because your work load increases so much and a womans life changes much more than a mans life when you have little ones.  I know that life changes for men too, but not nearly as much as when you have kids.
