A Man's Perspective

I had a flash of inspiration yesterday morning on my way into work. I was talking to a guy that I've been on a couple of dates with about sex. As a joke I said something about men paying for sex all the time in one respect or another. That simple statement set my mind off on a whole line of thinking.

What I said was true. Men constantly have to pay for intimacy in one way or another. Some men pay prostitutes or escorts. Some men date women and in such are paying for dinner, drinks, shows, etc. Some men have a girlfriend or a wife in which they are expected to buy gifts, do chores, take care of kids, etc.

This made me sad for men and grateful that I am a woman. Women have it so easy. Women can go into virtually any bar or club anywhere and with a little effort hook up with someone that they have an interest in. Men have to work so hard to even get a woman to pay attention to them, let alone have intimacy with them.

I'm always so down on being a woman and have said many times that I think I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body. For this one brief moment, I was so grateful to be a woman! Thanks to the man who helped me have this insight.

P.S. (8/11/2010) A few weeks ago, I was at a gay bar and an incredibly sexy man walked in...I almost fell out of my chair i was so enamored by him. He sat right next to me, and one of my friends immediately proceeded to hit on him. Later in the evening it was determined for me that the guy was bi, but had a preference for women. In spite of my strong desire to ravish him right then and there, I instead turned my back to him and focused on my friends. Partly that was out of respect for my friend that had been hitting on him, and partly it was...because I can...POINT BEING this guy...aparantly wanted me as badly as I wanted him....he proceeded for the next 15 minutes to pat me on the ass like a little kid trying to get my attention... :D ha ha ha...he came home with me that night...but still had to work way harder at it than I did...just sayin!
