good-natured post about women making men wait

before i begin, let me just affirm the sentiment of this particular post's title and say that these next few paragraphs in no way have the intention of stirring up ire in the hearts of the females (or males) that will read it hereafter. the intent is instead to comment on an all-too-common tale.

"i'll be ready when you get here". "okay, honey". this exchange is one you've probably heard at some point in your life. i wouldn't go so far as to say that women outright lie to men when they say this, for surely they don't. i am sure that no girl has ever really had the intention of making their beau wait for them. but it happens.

my issue here is not out of anger or even personal experience. i have simply observed this phenomena in the relationships of those around me. in fact, she who i would call "the girl" is incredibly punctual and has never made me wait for her. and even if she did, i would be okay with that, for she is absolutely worth waiting for. but i can't help but feel sorry for these poor chaps who are forced to sit around and watch reruns of "full house" or even "the golden girls" while their beautiful, intelligent girlfriends complete their routines of getting ready to leave the house or apartment, whatever the case may be.

ladies, i know what you're thinking. (actually, i really have no clue, but let's pretend for the moment that i do.) you're thinking, "oh man, what is this turkey trying to say? who does he think he is?" what you need to know is this: man cannot live without woman. it's a force of nature. we would all lead ridiculously insignificant lives if were not for the wondrous female species. seriously, all kidding aside, i think i can speak for all men and say that without woman life would be boring and probably would not smell as good. in fact, if it weren't for woman, there would be no man--i need say no more.

thank you, ladies, for teaching us men to be patient and to savor every moment of the day. we are certainly better off for it.
