Unrealistic Expectations
[commentary]
I was talking to a friend last week about her boy problems and eventually came to the conclusion that she had these unrealistic fairytale expectations of men. The kind of men you see in romantic comedies that are bumbling over their tremendous wealth of love and attention they have for the girl. These men treat women as goddesses and every intention as well as action is a good one. The very second I thought how impossible it was for men to live up to these guys I realized that I have the same impossible expectations for women, albeit of a different vein. My libido has been ramrodded into desiring unrealistic looking women. Women who number fewer than children with ADHD and women who probably don't even really look like what they look like. I'm not talking about boob implants because I am 100 percent against that. I'm talking about enhancements by make-up, lighting, photo-editing etc.... Basically where women are loving these emotional fantasies, I'm loving these physical fantasies. And then we wonder why women cheat late in the marriage with guys who pay them attention when the husband hadn't been and men cheat late in the marriage with young pretty girls when the wife isn't so young and pretty.
