BECAUSE I'M A GUY
Because I'm a guy, I must hold the television remote control
in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced,
I'll miss a whole show looking for it, though one time I was
able to survive by holding a calculator.
Because I'm a guy, when I lock my keys in the car I will
fiddle with a wire clothes hanger and ignore your suggestions
that we call a road service until long after hypothermia has
set in. Oh, and when the car isn't running very well, I will
pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm
looking at. If another guy shows up, one of us will say to
the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now
with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know
where to start." We will then drink beer.
Because I'm a guy, when I catch a cold I need someone to
bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and
moan. You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't an
issue.
Because I'm a guy, I can be relied upon to purchase basic
groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be
expected to find exotic items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all
I know these are the same thing. And never, under any
circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for which
"feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism.
Because I'm a guy, when one of our appliances stops working
I will insist on taking it apart -- despite evidence that
this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person
gets here and has to put it back together.
Because I'm a guy, I don't think we're all that lost, and
no, I don't think we should stop and ask someone. Why would
you listen to a complete stranger -- how the heck could HE
know where we're going?
Because I'm a guy, there is no need to ask me what I'm
thinking about. The answer is always either sex or football,
though I have to make up something else when you ask, so
don't.
Because I'm a guy, I do not want to visit your
mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her
when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to.
Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay, I don't need
to see it. Did you remember to pick up something for my mom,
too?
Because I'm a guy, I am capable of announcing, "one more
beer and I really have to go," and mean it every single time
I say it, even when it gets to the point that the one bar
closes and my buddies and I have to go hunt down another. I
will find it increasingly hilarious to have my pals call you
to tell you I'll be home soon, and no, I don't understand why
you threw all my clothes into the front yard. What's the
connection?
Because I'm a guy, you don't have to ask me if I
liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of
it, I didn't.
Because I'm a guy, yes, I have to turn up the radio when
Bruce Springsteen or The Doors comes on, and then, yes, I
have to tell you every single time about how Bruce had his
picture on the cover of Time and Newsweek the same day, or
how Jim Morrison is buried in Paris and everyone visits his
grave. Please do not behave as if you do not find this
fascinating.
Because I'm a guy, I think what you're wearing is
fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was
fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or
without it looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can
we just go now?
Because I'm a guy and this is, after all, the '90s, I will
share equally in the housework. You do the laundry, the
cooking, the cleaning and the dishes. I'll do the rest.
