Today I helped a friend to choose the engagement ring he's gonna give to his fiancée. I have never done this, and accepting the fact that I always find it quite uncomfortable to do something like that for somebody else.... (considering that I would like somebody else to do it for me).... it was a pretty nice experience which made me realise why guys are more than ok.
This could seem contradictory from my really pointless and bitter point of view of "todo hombre es un patán hasta que demuestre lo contrario.... y aún después de demostrarlo, todavía es dudoso que no lo sea" (every man is a jerk until he proves different... and even after having proving it, it is still possible that he is still a jerk). Probably it is, but, I still find what I witnessed today, a very good example of why they are ok.
Well the tale goes like this: We were looking for a nice ring for the fiancée, when I realised the guy didn't have a clue of what finger size she was. Then I thought.... well that's just how men are, shouldn't be surprised..... but then I started thinking how he asked me before for one of my rings to try it... and he concluded that she should be the same size as my pointing finger (is it the index?) because when he grabbed her hand and "borrowed" her rings these would fit exactly the same as my ring was fitting.
Then I realised how nice it is when the guy you like starts playing with your rings.... although they usually end up rolling on the dirty floor of a busy cinema and how they are cute enough to try to find them in the middle of the dark having pieces of popcorn or who knows what other crap stucked in their elbows. And how cute it is that eventhough they have an impediment for remembering data such as finger numbers or more than five colours, they have a brain large enough to store small details such as "ooohh, i remember, when I played with her ring.... it barely fitted in my middle finger.... and she got so upset because whe had to take it off using soap..."
So, this takes me to my other basic principle about guys.... "un hombre siempre será un niñito juguetón sin importar la edad que tenga..." (a guy will always be a playful kid no matter his age). And this is why I think guys are more than ok, because they make us laugh being so childish, so they kind of counterbalance the emotional revolution in our heads.
Ok, although the photo doesn't seem to have sense.... well that's the point.... how guys usually behave as kids but they are really funny!!! so that picture is a demonstration of what a 20 something guy can do when bored while you talk about how you think that the world should be a better place and blah
Anyway, I'm supposed to be writing for my appointment with my supervisor but I'm too high on the flu to be doing that.
Cheerio!
