...how at the age of 46 (WII Fitness age 26, thank you very much) i can still be struck kind of stupid by a physically attractive woman. I consider myself an intelligent, fairly articulate guy... i think that most people that know me would agree... but... there's this woman...
She's a supervisor where i work. In heels, she's almost as tall as me (6' 2") and slim with long blonde hair. Whenever i get around her, all that it's in my head to say is "Heh heh heh... you're purrrrty..."
Personally, i find it kind of repulsive that women have that kind of control over me.
Am i the only guy that this happens to? Admittedly, it happens a lot less now than it did in my thirties... a lot less then than it did in my twenties... and so forth, back to about age 15 or 16 when i discovered my dad's Playboy stash and REALLY got interested in females. (What can i say, kids? It was a different world. We didn't grow up as fast.)
By the same token, i wish that more women would take Spider-man to heart. "With great power comes great responsibility." Most of the women that i've encountered over the years who realize that they have this power over us seem bound and determined to use it for evil.
There was a TV show on for years on either the comedy channel or Spike, i can't remember which, called "The Man Show" that was pretty good as long as Jimmy Kimmell and Adam Corolla hosted it. When Joe Rogan and whoever the heck that other guy was took over, it just slid into a pit. This show celebrated all things men, with tongue firmly in cheek. They spent the show quaffing beer and ended with a huge toast and a stein-drainer. They had beautiful girls on there called (kids, cover your eyes) the Juggies, for obvious reasons, and, over the end credits, always showed slow-motion video of girls jumping on trampolines. It was a MAN show, darn it.
Anyway.
I digress.
They did one segment on this show that, frankly, made me a little embarrassed to be a man, while, at the same time, demonstrating perfectly this power that i spoke of earlier.
One of the prettiest of the "Juggies", whose name i am embarrassed to admit that i can't remember, was hanging out in a bikini shop that was wired with hidden cameras. Guys would come in and she would try to talk them into buying her ridiculously expensive bikinis. Sometimes she just had to ask, a couple of guys she had to take into the changing room with her while she tried them on. (Don't worry, ladies... WE didn't get to see any of the girl, even if the guy in the changing room with her did). Most of the guys broke out the plastic and "bought" them for her. I don't think that their card was ever charged. Good thing, too. Let's see them explain THAT to the wife.
Anyway, one of these poor saps, the one that made me embarrassed to be a man, made it to the changing room with her, and, after getting the full show, rather sweatily admitted that he couldn't buy them for her because he didn't have any money. So then she started trying to talk him into STEALING them for her. AND HE DID IT!
I guess that what i'm trying to say, ladies, is that if you know that you have this effect on men, please don't use your powers for evil. Don't get us to buy (or steal) things for you with it. Don't promise sex and then withhold it as a punishment for some transgression. Don't bend, fold or manipulate us. Be gentle with us. We do good things for you and only ask that you treat us well in response.
Peace.
Randal
