The truth

I've recently had a lot of chats with my female friends about them and their boy issues and about different related things. And I've come to realise something. Women really do NOT understand us guys at all.

While it's true that us blokes DO admire and respect aesthetic beauty - we are not all and only that. You think that what we want is Movie-Star good-looks all the time. And when you think you look rough and we say you look nice, you think we're lying. Well, you're in for some news...

We're not.

When we say it, we mean it. Else we probably wouldn't say it unless prompted. And we do NOT want movie-star good looks. Yeah, that's a bonus, but all we really want is a woman who'll kiss us and who has a favourite episode of The Simpsons. Or Family Guy. Or SOME TV show or other that we like. We don't care if you're not Anna Watts, or Scarlett Johannson, or whoever it is that's famous that we think is nice. We don't expect you to be - we just want you to be you. Most of us - believe it or not - by a certain age have realised that beauty IS only skin deep. And we want you to realise that beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. And that beholder is US!

And, Christian ladies, we want a lady who loves Jesus. A woman who knows her own mind, is not easily walked over, but who - ultimately - loves God enough to do what he says. And that's THE most attractive thing you can have. And constantly worrying that you're not pretty enough or whatever - that's not something that's even in the equation for us.

So there. Deal with it.
