What Men Want
I drive a sports car. A really nice one, actually, with a number of ’show’ type modifications.
I popped out for lunch at the local fast food joint, and while I was waiting in line at the drive-thru, I noticed a guy in the parking lot. He was about my age, and looked to be doing well enough (financially), as his kids were climbing out of his new SUV.
He watched the traffic in the parking lot closely, and reacted to an oncoming vehicle by stretching out his arms and keeping the young children close to him as the car passed.
This guy was playing the ‘perfect’ dad. That was, until he got a look at me. His eyes appeared to glaze over and the expression ran from his face. With 3 very young boys in-tow, he continued across the lot on his way into the restaurant, never loosing sight of me.
As he and his kids crossed my path at the ‘pick-up’ window, he paused when they reached the sidewalk entrance-way and stared.
The eyes told me his entire story.
This occurrence is a VERY common one.
When men are born, the brainwashing begins. We are taught that love, marriage, children, the unity-of-family, and living a safe, comfortable, and BORING life are the standards by which we should judge our lives.
Love your wife, care for your children, buy a home, stick it out in your dead-end job, etc.
Well, I guess I’m breaking the mold. I’m not interested in having children. Diapers, whining, sleepless nights… You can have them. And I tried the marriage thing once. That was enough of that.
If what men really want is a cute little wife in an SUV driving the kids to soccer practice, then why do all ‘adult’ magazines and movies star 18-25 year old women? Why aren’t there advertisements for Mini-vans in Playboy? No articles about raising your kids the right way, or mowing your lawn, or taking the wife to Disney World for the week?
Seems pretty obvious to me.
Pornography placates the male mind. It plays to your whims, and fancies. And when it’s done, you get to return to your 1-home, 2-car garage, 2.2 kids, and a wife reality.
So, enjoy your life married guy. I’ll be the cat in the left lane with a 21 year old co-ed, flying by your Explorer, laughing.






Wuz up dude? Is this why we don’t see you any more? Holla!
