Let men be men


Some women ask if all men are born by one mother and different fathers, but from my life with many brothers, male friends and a boyfriend, I tell them that men come from the same planet: Mars. In case my guy is reading this article, I say except him as a normal lady is expected to tell her man. He is one in a million, because of the way he talks, smiles and even the way he quarrels. It is not that am writing positive things about him because he is special but he is special because I love him.

Any way, I have diverted from the main goal of my writing. A friend of mine told me that she found her fiancĂ© on bed with another girl and he had the guts to face her and tell her that it was not him but his twin brother. Another lady got a romantic message on her boyfriend’s phone but he denied and argued that his friend was using his phone and so it was his friend’s message. Really why do all men lie straight on the face?

Do not get me wrong. I have nothing against men but am just curious of knowing more of these brothers of ours. I was introduced to this cute, tall and slender guy. He had a huge chest and when he smiled, you would think he was an angel. At this point, I even thought it was a privilege to be associated with him. When he talked, it was like pure music to my ears. I wished I could listen to him the whole day. I had to remind myself that I had a boyfriend whom I loved with all my heart to remain sane.

As handsome as the angel was, he was also a good flirter. Within few hours of my company, he confessed his great love for me. He told me this was the first time he had fallen in love with a girl so quick and that the feeling was new to him. To tell you the truth, I was a bit surprised that such a handsome man could choose me among all the ladies in this universe. Little did I know that he had no choice and a woman to him was any creature that was putting on a skirt or peddle pusher.

I don’t want you to wonder about what I told him for it is not important at this point. In our next meeting, I came with my classmate to show her what an excellent guy I had met. She took my hand and whispered in my ear, “Please leave him for me, after all you have a boyfriend and I don’t.” I told her it is alright, she can have him. I forgot that is not exactly what I told her. So, I told her to shut up and listen to the great way he talks. I didn’t have to tell her this for she was concentrating on his every word!

I leave them for ten minutes as I go out. Coming back, I find them kissing. Am really shocked but am sober enough to hide it. They don’t even notice me. At this minute, I wish the earth could open and swallow me alive. “Welcome back, Mercy,” my angel tells me. As we start conversing again, my mind is rushing with thoughts like, “Are they in love?” And, “Is it love at first sight?”

Coincidentally, as my friend goes out to receive a call, am left with this mysterious man. “Mercy, am sorry about what you saw. Your friend was forcing herself on me but I have made it clear to her that I love you and only you,” Angel says. When I found them kissing, I did not see anyone forcing the other but I keep this fact to myself as my friend re-enters the house. She whispers something in his ear and they smile. This makes me feel like an outsider, so I excuse myself and go home.

The next day my friend comes to my place, this time am in for a big surprise as she tells me that am a horrible person. She warns me that I should stop forcing myself on ‘angel’ for he loves her and he has told her how I am forcing myself on him. She does not wait to hear my view or comment as she storms out of my room. That is why I ask myself why men can’t be men enough to admit it and apologize when they are wrong. Why they always try to blame someone else no matter the consequences.

I have forgotten to tell you about my precious love. It is not as if he has lived to all my aspirations. One day he gives me a teddy bear as a gift when am travelling. I hold it tight every day knowing it is his way of professing his undying love for me. I feel close to this bear. I clung to it every night, just to wake one morning and realize that it has a lady’s name on it. You might wonder what my worry is and I am a lady. The problem is, it was a gift from another lady to him. I ask him and he swears on his mother’s name that he bought the teddy bear that way.

This is starting to hurt me and reminds me of the day I found a romantic e-mail in his yahoo address and he denied any knowledge of where it came from or any knowledge about the sender. Then, this makes me wonder if all men are the same or it is just my imagination.

  5. Men like to be conquests. They can do that by lying all the time. Ladies like to be impressed. This can be done by well coated lies. It is not our fault.
