Truthiness?! Huh?

It is clear that men suffers from a disease called vagina blindness. I don't think this can be argued. There is just some woman in this world that no matter how smooth the man, the thought of being in close proximity to her vagina makes you blind to all of the stupid shit she is making you do. We've all been there. Try and argue guys. If you are not castrated or live a vow of celibacy you will fall into this debilitating disease. It claims millions of men a year in one form or another. This one is simple to diagnose.

The one that perplexes me is the opposite side of the coin...and sadly though I rack my brain I can't come up with a name for it. This one involves you ladies. It is a fundamental discrepancy in the natural order of things. The closest I can come to a name for it is truth blindness. There are these distinct moments in all of your lives where a guy (no matter how apparent his game is) can get you to believe anything, and you gladly give in to his whiles no matter how much hurt or consequence will come of it. Time and time again I've seen you ladies fall for the dashing words of some young Turk, dashed upon the rocks you once thought was the port of your dreams only to realize too late it was shallow coral infested waters.

The reason I write this is I'm frustrated. I've seen far too many friends fall victim to guys that were all talk but no walk. Any man can skill himself in the ability to hash out some sugar-coated plan to get in your pants, but the thing that amazes me is that no matter how smart you are you all fall for it. I've been standing there watching it happen and just shaking my head that you buy half the stuff that is coming out of their mouths. And I've been there in the aftermath when all you are left with is a pain filled husk confused as to how you got to place you did.

It can't only be the attention. I love attention...thrive on it even...but can say that I've never allowed the attention of someone from the opposite sex to completely void myself of all reason and blindly believe a lie that is being told right to my face. Is it a desperation that lies in you that you are willing to except any foolish notion in the hopes of not being alone? That is sad and can't help but make me feel that way too many young women are just settling instead of being true to themselves and their honest desires. More than likely this will be something that I will never have an answer to.

Hell...even I've done it (though not anymore...I try to be respectful)...feign a little interest in a woman's dreams, her thoughts, or her aspirations and sprinkle in a healthy dose of concern or empathy and you have them eating out of your hand. Can it really be that easy? Can you really be that blind to not understand what is happening? The only thing I can say is it must be true because I have never seen anything to prove to me otherwise. Is it any wonder women feel taken for granted and thrown away in life? Maybe if they put a little effort into realizing the power and strength you have you could avoid disappointment and heartache when in comes to your man.

I'm not deluded enough to believe that we will ever avoid heartache completely...but some things are just stupid. This to me is the biggest one. It is like I always say...it is too bad you can't teach a person common sense. It is lacking in humanity.
