Men Always Do Well (well...most of the time)

When I was a sophomore at Oklahoma Christian, I will never forget an incident that occurred in one of my science classes. We had a very entertaining professor with the driest sense of humor you've ever heard. He did a great job creating entertaining slide shows and what not. One particular day during lecture, he had a slide show of pics he had taken of a trip he and his wife went on. Now his wife was a very cute blond with a very nice smile. After a picture of he and his lovely wife flashed up on the screen, a girl in class shocked us all with her brutal words. With a twinkle in her eye and a smirk on her face (okay, no twinkle), without time to think about what she was saying or how she was saying it, she blurted out, "How'd you get her?!"

This a very good question. And although it is often asked, I have yet to hear a good answer for it. Thus, today, I am going to attempt to do what know man has done before and provide an answer for this question.

Simply stated, men always do well, or most men do. Just flip on your TV and start watching. Popular programs like "According to Jim" and "Still Standing" accurately depict not-so-goodlooking men with stunning wives hanging on their arms.

Sure your George Clooneys, Tom Cruises, and Will Smiths are out their, but they are few and far between. Even ad agencies know this. When the best they can do is put Nic Cage's face on an advertisement, you know they are banking on people looking past his not-so-goodlookingness and seeing a celebrity with some hit movies (which could also be argued). When people like Woody Allen, DwightYokam, and Bruce Willis are heartthrobs of their day, you know women are not focusing on their looks. Now, if you are female, you might be saying to yourself, "Well, I think Bruce Willis is very good looking." No he is not." Men only want to be him because you all want him. And the reason women want him has nothing to do with his physical appearance. And women, don't let men fool you, they know who is and isn't good looking in their own specie...but, they'll never admit it to you. Aside from celebrities, if you just look around you you'll see what I am talking about. Most of us men are beer drinking (not me though), belly scratching, lent picking, girl crazy, gentlemen. And that my friends, the gentlemen part, is why we have gorgeous wives hanging on our arms. After all, our gorgeous wives are commonly known as the better halves. And I couldn't agree more. The problem is some men forget to utilize their gentle man quality.

This is merely my mixed up, slightly humorous theory about mysteries of heterosexual relationships. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions.
