NEWSFLASH

"NEWSFLASH - ALL GUYS ARE SELFISH AND SELF CENTERED - We just need to learn to manipulate them or else we will be alone forever! Of course I have not a clue about how to do that - Our problem is we are too sensitive! "

This newsflash was brought to me by a long time very dear friend. And, part of me wonders how true is it. I mean I know most guys are selfish and self centered. And, I know most women believe they need to manipulate the men they are with . But, is it ALL? Is it really that bleak?

The hopeless romantic in me is searching long and hard for that guy who isn't selfish and self centered. Who will fall hopelessly in love with me and constantly "do" for me. Who will want to bring me flowers and expect nothing in return. Who likes to hang out with me because I'm charming, witty, intelligent and outrageously funny. Oh yeah, and he is available physically and emotionally. Am I really asking for too much? Am I being selfish in not wanting to be the mother for a grown man who can't cook for himself? Am I being selfish in not wanting to have to console and conjole for more than 10% of the time?

I feel like if I find the guy who adores me and treats me like a princess, then it will be so easy for me to do everything for him. I have a caretaker's personality. I like to care for other people. I'm just sick of doing it to the point that I am neglected. I don't want to have to ask for that backrub, for my hair to be stroked, to be told that I'm pretty (I am damn it!). I want him to want to do these things because he wants to, not because he feels obligated. To want to care for me the way I want to care for him.

Am I asking too much? Are all men just selfish lil' jerks? Am I truly gay because I want a man who's personality is like my roomie!

Does he really exist?????????????????????????

I don't think that is true. But I think that men are often willing to let women think what they like if they can have an easier time become of it. "Sure she thinks I'm an idiot, but I don't have to do any housework."

By not accepting and excusing that behavior, you don't allow it. People will rise or fall to your expectations of them.

I'm beyond flattered!

I don't think you're asking too much. You are completely derserving of everything you want in a man. :)
