That is a question with multiple answers dependent on the mood and or situation. Considering the situation I find myself in now .I can answer… “Nobody cares.”

Here I am, waiting on an order I have placed, which I am beginning to regret. This is a nice restaurant, and so I decided to go in, check it out and buy myself a drink only. Halfway through my drink, I’m attacked with a food menu by a waiter.

I could have simply refused politely, finish my drink and just leave, but I had thoughts of not giving the waiters the impression that I could not afford the food. And also feeling a bit uncomfortable other customers may have noticed the 30 minutes I had already spent sipping on my drink like an invalid, I took the challenge and ordered.

Whiles waiting, I noticed a young man with a lady whose dress size was two sizes less her actual size. She was shifting eyes as if she was being marked and was struggling so hard to balance her knife, which was obviously in the wrong hand.

Here We Go Again With the Same Old…’STEREOTYPING’

I listened to an angry friend blab on and on about her boyfriends’ recent cheating escapade with the concluding generalization of “all men are cheats” I just couldn’t help but wonder if women are being fair with this stereotyping.

People say men are moved by what they see and women by what they hear. Well…at least not for the women of this generation, who are moved by what they want not hear.

I certainly cannot blame my friend’s boyfriend for cheating, I would have done same if I were him. She sure can be overbearing, demanding and selfish most of the time.

Casting my mind back, I vividly recollect the number of times she has cheated with the cover story of doing it only to relieve herself of financial or employment problems.

Well it sure seems like that is how it has become for attached women now, finding a quick way out but not classifying it as cheating.

Yes, men indeed are attracted by what they see and cannot help themselves most of the time but be tempted to experience it. That in my opinion is better than these “quick fix” women exchange sex for; One man paying for trips, the other in hair and make-up department, the shopping voucher man and the main boyfriend she claims she is in love with.
