Tower Of Babel

Well, let’s once again, beat this topic to death!!!

I was listening to CHUM F.M. - THE MORNING SHOW the other day and they were talking about the ways that men show their love as opposed to the way that women show theirs.

We all know, us ladies like the hugs and kisses, the flowers and cards. We are mostly all romantics. I have been married for 18+ years, so I have to admit that the holding hands thing is no longer a necessity for me, although I still like getting flowers and cards, and of course the hugs and kisses.

Men on the other hand, being from Mars, are very different to us females and definitely show their love in different and usually less noticable ways. (at least less noticable to the females in their lives.)

They were using Dr. Phil’s observation on the radio show. Dr. Phil says that what us women have to figure out is what is the most important thing to our men. Whether it be a sport, or the computer, a car, whatever and if our men are willing to share these things with us, it usually a declaration of devotion.

The male announcer on the radio then quipped up with “My dirty laundry is most important to me, so I share it with my wife.” Some women will take offence to such a frivilous comment, especially seeing as most of us view this as a serious topic of conversation. For myself, I found it highly amusing!

Just judging from Popsy, I’d have to agree with this point of view. Popsy is NOT a romantic - although he was more so inclined in his younger days. However, I know Popsy shows his love in many tiny - sometimes mysterious - ways.
Popsy could belong to Practial Joker’s anonymous! He says he just simply cannot help himself some times. If he likes you, any at all, he is going to play a practial joke on you. He must truly love me because over the years I have been the recipent for many, many practial jokes.

Although I am not an avid football fan, I know that when he invites me to watch football with him - it’s a sign of true love! On the other hand, he is tickled pink - or maybe that’s just his sunburn - if I sit with him after he has cut the grass while he cleans the lawn mower. Sometimes he brings me home a popcicle (icicle) because he knows I adore them. These little things are signs of love.

The whole point of the discussion on the radio was that, although we differ we have to learn to appreciate each others points of view, accepting that one man’s williness to share the gift of football viewing or (worse yet) golf watching, is truly a sign that they want to include us in their lives.

Now mind you, men should also try to remember, that while we enlightened women will try to appreciate they way of showing love, we still truly like our way, and we’ll appreciate the flowers and the cards and the affection as often as they are willing to show us these things.

So as you go about your day today, think of your significant other and try to show them you care in a way that they will appreciate.
