Sometimes I wonder if man and woman are genuinely meant to be together. Not that I question monogamy, I just can’t picture that man and that woman living a life together.
A woman needs friends. Men are better at being alone, kicking some silly ball or stand there with a fishing rod for hours in a row. Do you see a woman doing that?

She’s at the bar with real girly girls and even though she really couldn’t care less, she is relieved to be able to talk about the hair dresser, Lady Ga Ga’s new look, the newest tips to lose weight, which lotion is or isn’t fit for certain body parts and about menstruation cramps which a man will never understand.
But the best thing about this type of satisfactory girl talk is that it only lasts so long. After that she can return to the man who was already done with lying alone on the couch. And that keeps quite a balance of things.
