Hey guys,
Funny how my first actual post is inspired by a post my friend made on one of her social media platforms (whatsapp) about relationship rules or rather, to be more direct, “girls shooting their shot“.
I just want to state that what I’m about to say is totally my opinion and even though it can be subject to scrutiny and debate, it is what I think and may or may not change in the near future.
Okay, so basically, in order to keep this post as brief as possible I’ll just cut to the chase without a lot of diplomacy like I would like.
I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT POST ABOVE.
In as much as we are in the age of feminism and trying to abolish patriarchy, this role delegation is one that should not necessarily be viewed in that light. It’s a man’s way to show that he’s ready to commit to a woman when he asks her out. A woman is naturally built to love and desire commitment. 8 out of 10 women would fall in love with a man and be ready to marry instantly. At the same time, 2 out of 10 men will fall in love with a woman and be ready to marry her instantly (this is without considering other factors like financial stability, cultural and religious barriers). This just goes to show that a man is built to be more rational thinking. He’s not really moved by the words he thinks deeper on the situation and he responds after much thought. I’m not against a woman making her feelings known as subtly or obviously as she would like, but to go as far as asking the man out? That’s a no-no for me. Any man that doesn’t already take the cue from all the actions and words spoken, may not be ready to be in a relationship with the woman in question. This is not to say that he doesn’t have feelings for her, he just may not be ready to COMMIT.
I would really love to hear your opinion on this topic. Feel free to drop your comments and share.
Permit me to add; a woman would very easily go into self-doubt and other self-esteem related issues when she’s turned down by a man than a man would. A man would toughen up and move on faster and with more composure than a woman would.
Like I said I would, quote for the day:
Commitment is an act, not a word.”
Jean-Paul Sartre
Till next time.. Xx
