*This is not meant to offend* ~It's meant to be both serious and comical~ Thinkin' Like A Man Romance is not a word when you're a man having more women than baths because they can yes, life is easy when you're a male you receive respect... you're a stud, without fail I'm so tired of being a woman with my soul on my sleeve, nurturing and loyal in the end, I always grieve for being used, for love lost because I think like a woman I pay the cost So, that's it! I've had enough nevermore will I shed a tear If you need me, baby, I'm acting like a man down at the stripbar, drinking beer Yes, I'll dangle my heart in your face and sadistically take it away then I'll laugh at you with my friends and add your name to my list of prey A relationship, what's that?! for, sex is only a game I'll play around town and watch sports and make you think that you're to blame No, I'll never play the fool again I'll be macho, arrogant and sly I'll wait 'til you fall in love with me then I'll leave you alone to cry Yes, I'll break your heart because I can emotions are dispensable now I think like a man By Melissa P.

Melissa! I can't imagine ever wanting to stare at linoleum for three hours. What on earth made you think I'd want to do that?! LOL Kickin piece of work; I must commend you on your poetic backbone! You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. -- Navajo Proverb |

Hehehe  Thank you Helen, MaskedIntruder and Sven for your replies...what can I say, I was in a "mood" last night  This is meant to be a joke, not to stereotype men - I know many men who are sweethearts and many women who are players so to speak. I'm still deciding if I should toss the emotions aside and think like a man - maybe I'll get farther in life now without being hurt, hmmmm?! Still deciding....

who among us has not at one time or another wanted to be someone (or something) anybody ... anything else. Like the now and then times I thought I was a girl trapped in a man's body. If you don't mind, this is inspiring me to write an article out of my life experience ... Jaime. When the going gets tough, everybody leaves! |

Okay. I just couldn't help myself. the more I look at this article, the more wells up within me. Adda boy, Melissa! There is something hypnotically attractive about a woman who does not act like a woman. Well, I have to go for now. Listen to the leaves... Jaime |

Good poem but as you say, not all men are the same. Throw your heart out in front of you |

Awww Melissa, you need to come on down to Texas....Them Canada boys been out in the cold way too long girl. Come on down here where the passion is as hot as the chile peppers. They would take you out in the moon light in there pick up truck and sing sweet love songs while playing their guitar, pausing only to spit tobacco juice at a scorpion every once in a while. (and you would find out snuff is dipped not chewed) So don't give up on men just look a little further south. (All said with tongue in cheek and a silly grin) Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

I don't drink beer ... and I've never been to a strip club ... the man you describe, reminds me of my first wife. I've raised three kids, who call me dad ... I've met the type of men you describe, there's lots of them out there but there's lots that are family men too ... so please don't give up looking and condemn us all to the same pot of soup |

Hey, Mellisa kid, you be a man and I'll be a woman . I'll put on my tightest clothes, walk down the street swinging the ole' derrier back and forth like a windshield wiper and, when someone looks or whistles, I'm gonna act all offended like I'm being insulted. I'll bat my big eyes at anyone I'm interested in and and throw a look of death at anyone who looks like they can't afford me. I shall consider the threat on nuclear war to be only slightly less important than a broken fingernail and, when it is time to be amorous, it will be doggy style - they will sit up and beg and I will roll over and play dead. There...I think I have described women as well as you have described men  |

LOL@Balladeer! Well, then I stand corrected Rex - You sound like a very sweet man - you're a breath of fresh air! Thank you everyone for your replies to my little rant! "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
