POWER OF A WOMAN

POWER OF A WOMAN

            I’ve had two great exchanges with strong women over the last few days.

            Both women are 40+, both have teenage kids, both are confident in who they are, what they are and what they want.  My kind of woman!

            The first one was having problems with a guy.

            “He won’t call me!” she said.  “He’s got my digits and he won’t call me!  I don’t give my digits to just anyone but he won’t call.  All he does is write these bloody, long e-mails!”

            “He’s probably intimidated by you,” I said.

            “He’s a successful man!” she said.  “An entrepreneur!  Wealthy!”

            I said to her, “That doesn’t matter.  He can do his job with his eyes shut!  In his world, he runs things.  In this exchange, YOU’RE in control; that scares the shit out of him!”

            My second exchange was with a woman who posts a lot of provocative things on Facebook.

            “People look at them and think they know me!” she said.

            I said to her, “If you post a beautiful black and white photograph of a naked woman with a poignant comment attached, these sheltered boys will never read your comment, they will merely think, ‘Cor, I bet she loves sex!’”

            “These are married men!” she said.  “Married with kids!”

            “It doesn’t matter,” I said.  “Married with kids doesn’t make a man worldly.  They lucked out!  They found someone more sheltered than them and she agreed to marry them.  Having kids is simple!  They’re probably good at their job too but it doesn’t make them any less blinkered.”

            “It’s sad,” she said.  “They think they know me.  They say to me, ‘I bet you like this’ or ‘I bet you like that’.”

            “They’ve got one hand on the keyboard and one hand on their dick!  You know that, right?”

            “Yes,” she said.  “They tell me!”

            Outgoing, men of the world rarely pick-up women on Facebook because they can make friends wherever they go.  The men that live on Facebook or Twitter are shy, nervous and sheltered.  They have a blinkered view of women formed God knows how!  They would never entertain the possibility that all women are different, so they treat all women the same!

            “All these men fantasise about being with a powerful woman,” she said, “but, when they find one, they don’t know what to do!”

            So, what’s the solution for these two vibrant and vivacious women?  Hide aspects of their personality?  Tone it down?  Lose a few IQ points along the way?  Or continue the eternal search for a man who truly appreciates the power of a woman?
