On Women and Relationships.
If you can live without a relationship, then it's probably for the better, I'd say. It's a sad state of affairs when you purposely (and deep within, knowingly) set yourself up to get smashed by the veritable, perennial "perfect one" (for the moment, at least) you hype yourself up to. - A friend
They say women are the smarter gender, but I beg to disagree, I just think they are perpetually confused like all geniuses are, hence the aforementioned cliche. Unfortunately, their confusion gets them nowhere at all. It gets them burning bras, showing off breasts to get dough, or kicking a guy in the face for opening the door for them. They are the perpetual lost puppies. - Another friend
These two quotes/sentiments came to my attention last night, and I can't help but comment.
The basic principle of human philosophy and theology is that there is no substitute for real life experience, and that conjecture and theory can never be enough basis to make a statement, especially if we are talking about something as complex as relating with the opposite sex. With that said, I think I've earned the right to actually say something on this matter, having had several relationships before and being in a solid 5 year relationship right now.
Not everything is served to everyone in a silver platter. Some people do not have the luxury of money, emotional support, professional and physical encouragement, and everything else, given to them at home. Not everyone can afford to shut themselves off from the rest of the world. Branding women as this and that is also just plain dumb and immature, and I will explain why in the coming paragraphs of this entry.
I've been with Mich for nearly 5 years now. If it weren't for the support she constantly gave me during the most trying times of my life, I would have probably caved in and called it quits. Love is not just romance. Relationships are not just based on sex and fun. The real deal is something deeper than that! Men were not made to impress women and vice-versa! They were made to complement and support each other. If there's one thing I learned during the past few years with Mich, is that everything I thought about women then (before the relationship with her) was high school stuff. Believe me when I say that there will come a time in your life that sex is not the only thing that matters.
Men constantly shout out that women take their actions for granted. Men have a tendency to be frustrated because their most recent effort of making their girl happy can be overshadowed with their past or recent mistakes. The fact of the matter is that men usually think forward, always on what is infront of them. Women, on the other hand, tend to think of everything. I know this because this is one of the problems that plauged the earlier stages of my relationship with Mich. I kept insisting that she can't see the stuff that I do that should matter, while she says that it's beside the point. They look to the sides, upward, downward, and even farther than what the man is looking at. It doesn't mean that women are more mature, but it just shows that one PoV is limited, and in order to fully see the beauty of life, you need to merge both views. Women only become complex if you don't know anything about them based on long term experiences.
Relationships should be about support. Real love is something that stems out from sacrifice and hard work. It is not a stupid walk in the park as most of you watch in romance movies or TV shows. I love Mich dearly because of the way we support each other. I cherish her because she's the one person that has taken an extra mile in giving me chances to improve myself, giving us room to grow as a couple. Through my ups and downs she's been there to give me warm hugs. When my family wasn't there, she was. When my friends turned against me, she stood beside me. When the world seemed to become much heavier, she was there not just to encourage me to forge on, she stepped in and carried my burdens with me. And that is what inspires true romance and real poets. Real life experience.
Go out! Meet new people! Make new friends! If you fuck around, then have fun! But don't be so condescending as to label women lost puppies or whatnot. Women are not just objects of affection or ego trophies. They are not just there for sex and kisses. Women can make a big difference in our lives, especially if we learn to respect them.
I don't know everything there is to know about women and relationships, but the one thing I know is that a woman saved my life, and she continues to do so.

Note that this in context with being a "hopeless romantic", dude. You might just have missed the point of the post, hehehe.
Para fun, let's disregard the context nga, and plug in that same line without the premise.
I still think that having a relationship isn't really "top priority" for "surviving" in this earth.
I do recognize the need for man to love, and be loved, but... he sure as hell doesn't really need it to breathe, function and go on living *decently* in this earth, man, hahahaha!
Sure, you might argue "but you'll end up lonely and sad for the rest of your life, dude." But happiness and loneliness are relative to each person. What you may experience as "sad" doesn't necessarily equate as such for another being. What you deem as "love" might not exactly be "love" to another person. It's all relative! If you concede yourself to absolutes, then you're as good as what I've been constantly yapping about in the latest post - mindless drones.
LOL. This liberal way of thought is very fun actually. Note that what I've been posting isn't really aimed to piss off other people. It's actually designed to make you people think more about life, and about the things you take always take forgranted. LOL!
Peace out. Keep on blogging, pare.

Yes, I am the infamously immature 'Another Friend'!
In any case, I never raised the idea of relationships in my statement. I just hate the fact that women promote this stereotype, in other words "We're smart 'cause, like, it's in our hormones and stuff *tee-hee* *hugglesh!*"
Finally, let me quote an actual woman (Rio's cousing in Canada) when I talked to her about this:
"But you know why women think that they're the smarter gender? It's because they're more paranoid and vocal. Women think they're smart because they think too much and they assume that men don't at all"
And I love puppies. Especially lost ones.
Until they urinate on me.
Then I just headbutt them and throw them in the street 8)
Before you scream "chauvinist" and burn bras for "woman equality", take into mind, when did I ever say men were superior? :)
