the first from a food blog.
And since we are on the topic about the difference between men and women, I would like to throw another spanner in the works by bringing up another point. With my limited experience in dealing with the opposite sex (I only ever had one girlfriend), I observe that there are 3 things (in general) women love that men can't really understand: 1. Diamonds 2. Flowers and 3. Chocolates.
Seriously, I really don't understand why a small rock would cause so much delight in women. That a small rock can set you back a few sets of Golf gear or a good Hi Fi system! The way I see it, $5000 can buy you quite a few bits of technology like an Xbox, a great big LCD screen and one of those new space age OTO chairs that vibrate and explodes into surround sound when you crash your virtual Nascar into a tree.... OR..... it could buy you a small little rock which sparkles.
Well, there is a Medical reason that might explain it. The ability to see the colours Red and Green reside on the X Chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes while men only have one. Sometimes the genes on the X chromosome may be faulty and since men only have a single X chromosome, they are unable to perceive the colours Red and Green. Women are protected because if one X chromosome is faulty, they have another one which most probably will be normal. Research has shown that because women have two X chromosome, some women can actually see a wider spectrum of colours! So, for some women, instead of seeing just seven colours of a rainbow, they can actually perceive 10 colours. That might explain why women value a diamond much more than men! It also explains why I always have to ask my wife whether my clothes match.
pretty amusing. the part about research. trying to explain why guys like anything but diamonds. but yea. i would agree with the 3 objects. i'm fine with them. like i know girls like them. i will probably get it for my gf, wife. thing is i just wouldn't know the purpose behind it. like yea. the thought behind it is sweet. romantic. but. crazy over it just seems a little overboard. i'm not that crazy over soccer? sleep. maybe. but i can go on without sleep!

the second from a friend's blog, part of a story.
To me, a guy and a girl are best friends only because at some point in time, there was interest on at least one side. And because things didn’t develop for some reason or another, they become best friends instead, and that stage is irreversible. Franken liking Anna was entirely plausible, even during school days. So that meant that Anna must have not reciprocated, and that was why they became best friends.
i couldn't agree more. beautifully summed up.
for the whole story,
he played a part in me starting up this blog.
mainly because i thought he writes well.
