My daughter and I had an amusing conversation recently about men and shiny things. I am widowed and she is married, however when it comes to men most women will agree that men bless their hearts married or single are all the same concerning shiny things.
As a single woman I date occasionally and enjoy meeting new people. During the last 2 years I have met some really nice and polite gentlemen. Speaking with other single female friends, we are baffled by behavior of some men. These are the men encountered that excitedly wants to meet you and begin to quote what the possible future will be like with you in their life. *Confucius say: If sounds like Bull then is Bull* Then for unknown reasons they disappear overnight from earth into the netherworld of non-communication never to be seen or heard again. Why bother in the first place we ask our female common sense brain. Oh wait...shiny things...preeettyy..
Like cats, men get distracted with new shiny things almost as soon as they find the first one. This mentality of men applies not only to their females but other things in their life. All of this I find extremely humorous. At some point the man may suddenly remember he was fascinated with the first shiny thing...when? Just a moment ago, right? He thinks. In reality the first shiny thing has disappeared long ago and he may never know that he lost something special.
I am all about politeness, “Nice to have met you” and “Good luck in the future” kind of person. I think it is just plain rude to do otherwise especially if you have known and communicated with this person for awhile. So, to all men out there remember that being polite and at least acknowledging the encounter speaks volumes about who you are.
So true.
