Guys vs. Men

I'm here in the library and just finished reading this article in our book, which to let you know was funny but fairly true. This article is called "Guys vs. Men" by Dave Barry. For me it was funny to read because it basically explained who I am, a GUY! So for those of you who are trying to figure out what I mean, let me show you how Barry portrays 4 themes in this battle of indifference between Guys and Men.

1. Guys Like Neat Stuff
   If you're a guy or you've been around guys you know what I mean! whether it's the latest gadget, car, or video game system guys want it and want it now. I don't know about you but i'm guilty for this one. He explains how he just bought the top of the line computer jam packed with power but all he really does with it is stare and type a couple of words. What can we say other than "Boys will love toys!"
2. Guys Like A Really Pointless Challenge
   "Man if that was me I would of done it better!" I mean who doesn't like a challenge, I know I do. Guys it's just built inside of us to want to conquer, doesn't the bible say that we have been given dominion? (haha) Anyways something inside of us GUYS is wired for competition whether it's in a championship football game or fantasy football we all live for that moment in the light, basically bragging rights.
   
3. Guys Do Not Have A Rigid & Well-Defined Moral Code
   The article says "Guys are aware of the rules of moral behavior, but they have trouble keeping these rules in the forefronts of their minds at certain times, especially the present." This reminded me about what Troy spoke about last Sunday, remember we try to get as close to the line without crossing it? I know I have been there both right in front of the line and past the line. Remember rules were meant to be broken, but not standards!
4. Guys Are Not Great At Communicating Their Intimate Feelings, Assuming They Have Any
   If you're a woman, you probably know what I'm talking about. If it wasn't for my relationship with Amanda I would have never known that I have a communication deficiency, don't believe me just ask her, haha, ok ok I'm not that bad but it is something that I need to work at. Here is a common conversation:
   A- "How was your day?"
   S- "Good, how bout yours?"
   A-"Ummm well first I brushed my teeth, did my hair, got stuck in traffic, saw a bird fly over my head, made it to school, no parking, felt sad that you didnt call...".
   Guys already have the hardest time communicating, you add feelings to that and we are like a deer in headlights!
