It took some time, but I\u2019m beginning to see.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Women really do differ from me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking about the physical attributes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am talking more absolutes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The way they look at everything.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Their definition of having a fling.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What turns them on and what doesn\u2019t.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thinking what she \u00a0wanted,—- wasn\u2019t.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Something simple is seen differently.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if we both pretend to agree.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She sees one thing. I see another.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The one more like me is my brother.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Communication becomes very hard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t talk like she came from Mars.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She talks like she came from Venus.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope that book doesn’t come between us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, what it says seems to be true.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Has this ever happened to you?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Arguing when we are saying the same thing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Her approach is hard to be seen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She says: \u201cMen, they are all alike.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes I think she says it for spite.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Women are the true mystery of nature.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Man is easy to understand. Not a satyr.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Does a transgender have problems here?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For the rest of us, \u00a0it is never clear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is anyone willing to translate?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is just no help when you are on a date.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How about maybe asking your mother?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s as embarrassing as telling your brother.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

No one wants to look stupid about this.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet, it is all that stands in the way of bliss.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
