Venting Female Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Words…….. Indeed are powerful. A perfect example of how much they are needed can be seen in something as simple, yet complex as that of love making. For some reason, many men must hear an audible sound they recognize as meaning a resounding “no” before they understand something is undesirable for the female. They are inept when it comes to reading body language. A woman’s tension means nothing to them in their excitement. Even if the female manages a negative groan or moan, it still means nothing to some. Only until they hear the letters N-O put together will they understand. Why is it that males must move so fast? Don’t they understand the NEED to sometimes go a bit slower…and if need be, actually stop along the way? It’s like attempting ice over a frozen pond. It is winter. A man meets a woman standing by a fire and invites her to walk with him. Along the way, they learn they have much in common and the friendship is desirable. Soon they come upon a frozen pond. He takes her hand and says, “Come on, go with me. We can walk across this pond to the other side.” It looks safe enough. Her longing just to be with him causes her to eagerly step out onto the ice with him. Once she’s out with him, he begins to move faster and faster seeing nothing but the other side. She, on the other hand sees much more. She sees the ice beginning to thin in places. She can hear it cracking. She struggles to bring it to his attention but finds that he has now all but turned completely away from her. He tells her it’s okay, that she should trust him and love him enough to keep walking. But the ice has cracked to the point that if they both should fall into the icy pond, death will surely come. She has to ask herself if love is enough to commit suicide over because there is no way that thin ice is going to carry both their body weight to the other side unless physics for some reason decides it’s going to change. He is so eager to get there. And he just might make it. Even if he falls into the water, he is strong enough he might swim out. But not her. She’s weak. She’d surely die. She tensed. She winced a negative moan. She’s cried….. ……now what? Does she have to actually say that word? Will it still be love if she says it? Is it love that she even might have too? What would real love do? What’s so wrong with stopping? What’s wrong with solid ground? What’s wrong with going back to stand by the fire? *note: Dido’s White Flag just came on as I was ending this writing.
