I’m beginning to
think when it comes to the term “relationship equality” men and women have two
very different definitions. So different I’m not sure they’re even written in
the same language.
When men hear the term
relationship equality their brain jumps to physical things like not paying for
their date.
When women hear the
term relationship equality our brain jumps to emotional/mental things like
having an equal say in what happens, where we go, how we get there.
They’re two very
different things, and probably the reason why women and men don’t see eye to
eye on the topic.
A lot of men think women mistake equality for chivalry
and women think men are idiots.
Take going out for
dinner as an example.
Man’s view of
equality: The bill comes he pays his half, you pay yours. Or he pays the whole
thing and you two go to his afterwards for sex and that balances things out.
Women’s view
equality: When making plans where to eat her and her boyfriend talk about where
to eat and when together and come to an agreement.
The two sexes really
aren’t on the same page.
A farther example of
that is men think women see them paying the bill as chivalry. They’re idiots.
We see you paying as compensation for the time and money we spent getting ready
for the date. Do men think we roll out of bed with a full face of makeup and
our hair perfect?
If men think paying
half the bill is equality in a relationship, how about we take equal time
getting ready for a date too. See how long that lasts before they’re whining
about areas needing shaving/waxing and us looking like we just rolled out of
bed.
Relationship equality
is a strange subject both sides are looking for two very different things out
of that statement and neither side is completely wrong or right.
It’s all about give
and take and I think on the whole relationships tend to balance out. Women have
sex when we really don’t want to; men go to see the latest chick flick they don’t
want to. Men want to get drunk and watch sports in peace, we want a nice meal. Everything
equals out.
That’s my opinion let
me know yours in the comment box below. As always my dear stay safe.
