My dear Darlings,
There is a belief out there…cruising its way around…I call it a myth…such as that “men “ are “easy”…men are “simple”…:)
Over the years I raised/cared for three dogs and two cats…(my exes are excluded, sorry I had to say this…lol)…
I recall my
interaction with my dogs…dogs are supposed to be easy to please…right?
My ex husband would say “they are dogs…they don’t need clean up and
clean blankets, good food, etc…)
Well, let me tell you…that all my “male” pets (four out of five) end up being the most pretentious…;) How come?
I admit feeling good
in a neat and clean environment…and, when I came into the picture, [true dat] the two pets my ex already had appeared not to care for cleanliness…etc…they
acted like dogs…:)
Well, once I came into the picture, and I would wash one of their beds
[for example] guess what…the male pet always pushed out the female…so
he could be in the cleaner bed…:) the same with the bowls of food…!
And who would always avoid the water puddles? Of course, the male dog …he displayed the most adorable tip toe walks ever! :)
And did I mention this pet was a half coyote and half lab dog used to
hunting and leaving it “rough”…a pure alpha, beating up and winning always all
fights?
Yes, I do hear you…what’s the point…this is “simple” and “easy”…:) and I say…nope…it is not…
They “were” simple and easy…for as long as they were treated and thought of as simple and easy… In the moment I began treating
them as “humans”…their own expectations of themselves raised up…and desired better…
And here is
my point: when it comes to the myth that men are “simple” and “easy”…It
is all a big lie and an awful excuse…and not to forget about the
limiting possibilities we place upon ourselves and men…because, as long
as we believe that’s all men can be and do for themselves…we are indeed
“settling”…and in that case darlings, let us not complain…:)
