Lately, my friend and I have been discussing how we have changed and how our lives have changed as we grow older. Remember the days when you could barely make ends meet, but somehow you always seemed to have money to go out with friends? Remember the days when you would stay up all night hanging out with friends and then go to class and work the next day? Remember the days when you had so many people that you always had something to do and were rarely at home unless your residence was the party location?
It seems as we have grown older we have weeded out friends and have only a handful now of people we can really count on, connect with and have a bond with. It seems that we would rather sit at home and read a good book or two or four instead of go out clubbing.
Not that there's anything wrong with the women we have become. We've decided we are pretty ok in our own skin, even if the men we married turned out not to be!
However, lately we have been reading books with these characters of men who would move heaven and earth to save their wives/girlfriends, they would endanger their own lives to protect them, they talk quietly in sexy voices and say all the right things, they listen to the women in the stories, they hang on to every word they embrace them and hold them in such a way that you the reader can almost feel the heat and passion between the characters and we continue to ask ourselves do men ever really act like this? Where is the man that feels as if his world would end if we were not in it? Where is the man that would heaven and earth to protect us? Does this man really exist, or are they all lazy, sloppy, momma's boys just wanting someone to cook for them, clean up after them, work a full time job, be a super mom, and still have time to be the "whore" in the bedroom with little emotional or mental stimulation and just be able to turn it on like the flip of a switch?
