Pigeonholes

So today i had a relatively fulfilling conversation with a good friend,lets call her Winne.We spoke about things we always speak about and went on to speak some more.

We reached a topic about someone common,lets call him Tigger.So,our story today is about typecasts and stereotypes created by whats known as social decorum.

So here's a story about go getters, Go Getters have no principles are far as territorial pissing is concerned.

There's no such thing as honor amongst thieves and there's no such thing as being around for people who need you.

I know of a person who never takes no for an answer, except when he is in doubt of himself. Sometimes its convenient to get someone to convince you that this is what you want,so that you convince yourself that you are making some martyr like decision when in reality,you didn't have the guts to take responsibility for that decision.

Today,a good 4 years later,you have 'what if' thoughts...what if thoughts don't happen if you MADE the decision in the first place.

Then some might argue, maybe it was his decision, he just didn't think that he'd miss out on a lot.

No, when you are a go getter who stops at nothing, the only thing you are regretting is not making that decision on your own.SO what do you do?...you can't rectify 'could've'  'should've' because they belong in a different dimension.So make excuses.You look for someone to blame.

So Winnie defends Tigger and says...maybe its something he was forced into.

My rebuttal?...he wasn't, Simply because you don't become a fixture as someone's booty call...especially if this someone is in a relationship with some other guy? 

Here are more valid Points:

A man is expected to 'Provide', Protect and Take bullets for your wife.

If a man however strays...the world talks about it for maybe a week, a month tops,because honestly no one,not even the wife expects the husband to not stray.We all know it,but we are all too cowardly to mention it.All of us want to belong and fit in the world today so being lemmings are what we are fit for.

Conversely,if a man...loses his job,hits his wife or lives off her...its a big fucking deal,because his isn't man enough!...he couldn't do the most primal things for his wife/family.Sad isn't it,men aren't bound to the same rules in a relationship?...our expectations off men are sadly meager.

NO...no one will admit to it...but secretly i can see all you people nodding.

Thats alright,we are conditioned by society to be a part of the conveyor belt called life-in the eyes of others.

A woman is expected to be a Mother...one who can't stray.If she does, she'll be shunned.If she chooses to work and not stay home with her kids (when her husband is doing relatively well) she will be shunned.If she speaks for her husband (who's penis is the size of an amoeba), she will be shunned.

Real Swell to be Asian and Narrow isn't it.

Coming back to my rebuttal of go getters, GO GETTERS don't ever compromise on their reputation unless they really want it...and they will go get it knowing full well that they are on the brink of losing the most valuable asset anyone will ever own.Your reputation.

Go give it a thought and let me know what you think.

I'm craving a nice triple shot espresso latte with no foam in kids temperature,anyone?

You know, until you really said it, I guess I had this idealistic view about the whole "ëxpectations" of each gender issue. You're right. Really, really right. It pays to put things down in words, doesn't it? *wink*
