Why is it that when it comes to single life, men get the coolest places, parties, etc.?
There's posters of Marilyn Monroe on the walls, they watch hardcore action or western films while sippin' beers on a beat up leather couch while we get gauzy drapes and matching furniture. Why is it that women don't have awesome, hard core bachelorette pads? We don't even get to have the word "bachelorette" in SpellCheck!! Right this minute Google Chrome is trying to turn "bachelorette" into "bachelorhood" or "baccalaureate". It is unfair I tell you!
I think we should embrace our singledom instead of wallowing in the depression of our lack of proposals or dinner dates. Stop painting our walls in pastels! Get rid of the puppy calendars! Keep our Twilight books out of sight! Let's talk cars and wine and motorcycles and guns! Why do men get to have the outrageous parties that end in late night swims wearing only our underwear? I think we should grab the bull by the horns and start being badass!
I realize, of course, that some of the women out there like pastel walls and puppy calendars, but what guy is going to want to go into the room? If we are totally honest with ourselves, we'll understand that when men see our rooms, we're showing them ourselves, and how we plan to live our lives. What guy, no, what bachelor wants pastel walls and puppy calendars? If we make ourselves more like the men we're trying to date, then won't they be more comfortable with us, ergo leading to a relationship lasting longer than a movie date and a grope on the couch? Honestly ladies. There is a time and place for pastel walls and puppy calendars: on tropical islands and your daughter's room, respectively.
Now I'm not saying that we need to start putting up Harley posters and watching Scarface and Cool Hand Luke (although I do suggest both) but we need to make a step towards building the bridge between the sexes. They deal with our problems and our insecurities and, the woe of all men, our tears, so I think we can make an effort to help their struggle to connect with us.
So I say we break out The Godfather and Animal House, fire up the grill, buy a Guns and Ammo, and down some Jack Daniels. It is time to try living on Mars.
