The other side of women

Is nagging part of a woman's persona?

MARS `N' VENUS Women often leave men puzzled

Women. They're the reason why man built empires, monuments and waged wars. Women are our destiny (well, at least, they are for most of us). But it's not like they're the last word on everything and our entire existence revolves around them. Women are what we strive for because they make our lives a lot easier. They ease tension, make time stop and most important, they have this unimaginable ability to make us forget our worst days and smile childishly as long as we're with them. But this article isn't about the nice things that women do and the way they make us feel. It's about the other side of women, the side every man fears to tread, the side every man tries to change, but would die trying and eventually burn in the scorching heat that would befall him. This article is about that one capacity that would make a man run or end his life if it's directed at him — "the way women nag!"

Now, remember how in my last article I said men nag and whine, but take it too far when the nagging is about women. But this is second nature to most women. ! Since I said I was going to write about it, I spoke to a few women about why it is that they do the speeches they do whenever there's more than one of their kind together in a room. According to women, the reason they nag men is because we apparently don't do enough to make them happy, be it materialistically, physically or mentally. We just don't do enough. And also, according to women, they nag men because that's just the way it is. If this is the reason women nag, then how do you make a woman happy? They're never happy. That's because women want everything, but at the same time don't know what to start with.

Ask a woman to make dinner plans, the answer will be "anywhere!" but at the same time, she'll say no to every restaurant you suggest. A romantic evening? She'll always find that one small flaw that'll ruin the evening, but will still go on with it because of the hard work you've done. So, how do you make a woman happy? Well, that answer, I'm sure, not even God knows. But ladies, go easy on us, we're still evolving. And Men, buy earplugs, that's my only solution.
