Turnabout Is Fair Play

  Even though the idea of fashion for the average gum-chewing, sports-loving man is about as alien as seeing Clint Eastwood dance the lambada, most women are not losing hope.
  
  For, they reason, somewhere along that pinkish, cobbled matter of his called the brain lies something that closely resembles a faint fashion sense.

  This is commonly defined as that innate ability to appropriately piece items of clothing together in a cohesive, uniform pattern that's more than pleasing to the eye-women's eyes to be exact.

  Unfortunately for guys not a few women place an inordinate amount of attention to what we wear and not on what we can bring to the table.

  As if earning a six figure annual salary isn't enough they want men to dress the way they think they should be dressing so as to conform to their sense of how a man should like.

  Else how explain the fact that they hover over you whenever you're fixing your tie in front of the mirror? You'd hear comments like "that thing's too tight" or "that color pattern's all wrong" and then they begin to pick another tie or fix your tie for you.

  When that happens childhood memories flood in of your mother lovingly wiping the snot off your nose and cooing "OOOHHH ISN'T MY LITTLE MAN CUTE!"

  And then your world comes crashing down when you realize it's your wife or lover that's talking to you.

  If that happens guys have no one to blame but themselves. See men also harbor this image of what a woman should look like, act like and think like.

  Remember the old fantasy line about the ideal woman being "a wizard in the kitchen and a whore in bed?" (or words to that effect).

  Men also like to tell women what they want to eat, what women should wear outside the home, inside the home and in bed and so on.

  In short, men are only getting a dose of their own medicine. Except that some women tend to show their maternal side while some men tend to show their greedy, "I want my mommy!" spoiled brat side.

  As comic book legend Stan Lee would say "Nuff Said."
