Trying to read men


Why do men do strange things? This line of thought amazes women? Women have always been puzzled by a man's constant fascination for strange things. For some, it's care and relationship, for other's, it's  childish video games and for yet others, it's television and movies. But, few women have asked why men are so determined to hang onto their toys. The answer is rather simple. Men, as a race, are an imaginative bunch. They require reality to be diluted from time to time. Reality is a scary place for most men: they don't understand much of what's happening and have even less insight. As such they need another reality, an alternative, a place where they can be better men. This need for an alternative reality has been evident since the days of the cavemen. Those drawings on cave walls were exaggerated to some extent to suit the ego of the big bad hunter. For example, a hunter may have killed a bunny and drawn a brontosaurus.

Video games provide an even more realistic environment for a man to get lost in, imagine being a CIA agent, a racing car driver or James Bond, all in the same day; it has ridiculous appeal for men, I assure you. It's strange sort of thing, but this allows men to be more pleased with their day-to-day existence; it's the idea that, if I want to, I could do anything. The truth being that, most men would rather sit in a lounge chair and take a nap at five o'clock in the evening.

The human race, especially men, desire what it cannot have. With video games and television, men get fulfillment, an idea that their hopes and wishes are coming true, an idea that the dreams aren't too far.

As soon as a man sees an action movie, he goes into his room, closes the door aims a little finger gun at the mirror and says 'Hasta La Vista, baby.' It's just our way. Sly Stallone may just sit around all the day and be a normal guy but, even for him, acting is an escape and I bet, from time to time, he still plays the Rocky tune in his head and raises hose gigantic arms in the air.

The world of imagination has gone to another level. Anything that can be imagined can be brought in front of one's eyes and this takes men to fantasyland, where all is real. When men achieve all that they desire with the power of a couple of simple gadgets, what else in the world do they need???
