BUT SO WHAT IF I SIMPLY SHOOT?
Thursday, March 10, 2005
The circulation of the prior masterpiece, "10 reasons why you shouldn’t have boyfriends who are 10 years older than you" have had a rousing response. As the survey continued, I became more and more convinced of the flip-side argument. You may want to compare the prior article with the sequel, because they match point for point:
10 reasons why guys should go for girls who are 10 years their junior:
1. She is 10 years younger! That is one reason in itself.
2. During the wedding dinner, after the powerpoint presentations are over, he will get to say this in his speech: "FINALLY! After 10 years..."
3. He is a money-making wizard, genius physicist, and cutting-edge biologist. By this age, he probably has made his first million dollars, knows every law of physical attraction, and able to support a big food-chain. No match for the younger guys.
4. He is going to get old and sick 10 years faster than she does. Marrying a younger girl is a strategic move!
5. When the wife is still young, he gets to enjoy blissful married life. When she gets old and starts to get the inevitable "old woman's disease", he has probably hit the advanced stage of the "old man's disease". So he won't know the difference anyway.
6. She is looking for someone she can look up to. With his age and experience, he can take up the leadership role effortlessly. No need to try hard to be mature. No need to try hard to be wise. It's all in the "older man" package.
7. Forget about equality. He can just tell her that he is being very fair to her, and everything is done for the best of the relationship. And she will probably believe him. Arguments usually have its roots over injustice and imbalance. With the problem of inequality down the drain: No arguments = No domestic violence = Peace and harmony. Which man in his sane mind would not want that?
8. With his age and experience, he’s “eaten more salt that she has eaten rice”. Since he has been through a lot and knows a lot of things, she can have the privilege of expecting him to know all things including ESP. And he won't have to try hard live up to that. Because he has understood so many women in the past, he can read her like an open book.
9. Men are practical people. A guy's maturity is probably her number one requirement. If trying to be mature brinks on impossibility, he will logically take an alternative solution to achieve the same objective: Wait until he gets older, so his maturity will match any young chick.
10. Time-space argument. By his age, he would have already established his kingdom, built his castle, and own his own fleet of ships. All he needs now is a woman to complete it. Since he is already so established, he will have the TIME to do the hunting. He also will have all the SPACE he needs, both in his castle and in his private life. He can surely compartmentalize his life very easily and hide things from her if he wants to because he is 10 years wiser.
For this sequel, there is an 11th reason:
11. When God made Adam, He gave him the job of looking after Eden, naming the animals, plants, etc. When God saw that Adam had no companion, He made Eve. The creation of Eve probably took place 10 years later :)
