An Open Letter To Misguided Men

Dear Misguided Men,

I need you to do me a favor. I need you all to stop. Now before I elaborate on exactly what that entails, I’d like to share some of the recent work turned in by one of the wayward members of our male coalition.

Exhibit A- This is a Facebook chat that took place within the last 24 hours.

After reading that, I only have one question for you: Why must you to continue to make it so hard for the rest of us?

Listen; we all know that the odds are dramatically stacked in our favor when it comes to meeting new women. With that indisputable fact in mind, it just blows my mind how many of you continue to get so upset when a woman turns down your advances. I’ve seen it more times than I care to think about.

Here’s how it goes down:

You approach the woman … she blows you off … and then you become so enraged that you begin to lash out, calling her everything from “stuck up” to “bitch” to “stuck up bitch.” The reality of the matter is that she’s probably none of those names. She’s just guilty of the one crime deemed inconceivable by you … she’s guilty of not liking you.

My advice … just grow up.

You’re affecting us all here. If I meet another woman that has her face screwed up because she’s still reeling from her interactions with you, then we’re going to have a problem. No mature man wants to deal with the aftermath of your bullshit ….

(Dear Mom … I’m sorry for cursing in this piece. But bullshit was the only word that I could think of that would accurately describe what this is.) Where was I …

I learned long ago that a real man is just as gracious in victory as he is in defeat. So the next time you don’t get your way, and she rejects you, just walk away. Why? Because the saying DOES hold true that there are plenty of fish in the sea—especially when you’re a man.

So now that you know there are other “fish” just waiting for you, all that’s left is for you to hold up your end of the bargain, and begin to act like a man. And I mean a real man … not that low fat/soy version you’ve been peddling for the last few years.

I hope this is the last time that we have this type of talk. The brotherhood needs you.
