Men Are Pants

We’ve all heard the story and know the creation of male imperfection dates back to the beginning of time. How did it start? Well in the beginning there was God and he was good. He created man in his own likeness on the 6th day and then panicked! What had he done? He’d given man responsibilities and freedom of choice. He’d given man a free reign in beautiful surroundings. He’d also given man a brain that was just about equipped to deal with this level of understanding. Pants! He had to make amends and quickly! What could he do?

God being the shrewd character he was, knew there was a lot more evolution in store for his creation and understood that there needed to be amendments made to his original mould. Well, God thought about this for a while and brainstormed all the smaller detail he’s missed from his original creation –Basic stuff like emotion, commitment, understanding, the ability to multi-task, etc etc! Well as the day turned to night the list was endless and God knew he had to place a ‘new improved’ model on earth for all his first attempts shortfalls! God knew at this point that the two would have to work together as a team, if they were going to survive the challenges that lay ahead. He thought carefully about this and decided to forge a level of attraction between his creations so that they complimented each other physically. He then remembered the capacity of the male brain and made a final amendment to his plans, making the external shape of his vision sexy and pleasing to the eye.

God then closed his eyes, smiled and created woman. When he opened them again he was very pleased. He called it a day at that point and decided he needed to chill and calm down after the events of day 6! Is it really any wonder that on the 7th day he rested and recovered?! I think not!

Ok, ok so they say that it was the woman who was tempted by the serpent and ate the forbidden fruit, so the couple were banished from the Garden of Eden. But seriously, what abuse was going on to make this happen? I can see it now. Adam pushing Eve into a corner, emotionally tormenting her and daring her take the apple. God’s imperfections may have been put right when he created the female species, but he forgot to adapt the male personality to accommodate the changes! Some people may call it chivalry –“No really, after you!” Me personally, I’d call it bullying and the foundations of things to follow!

So over the years whilst many things may have changed, the foundations of our creation still remain. Men are still the emotionally incapable beings that were created first, and women are still making up for their shortfalls! Fundamentally this will always make up the basis of who we are, but the choices we make along the way are down to us.

Ladies, life may be a hard road to follow, but at least let’s take sanctuary in the fact that whilst men don’t understand us, that is purely because they were a design fault from the initial outset. Let’s enjoy who we are and embrace our individual capability to have thoughts that fall outside of our genital area. So next time when the joke is made about a women being created in mans likeness, think about the reasons why. And if challenged, just remember “Men do always come first after all”. But hey that’s a story for another time……….
