Women are pretty hard to understand. Countless of generations of our ancestors already tried and some of them remarkably failed. But with the changing times and the little glimpses of knowledge that our forefathers gleamed, we could step a little closer to our elusive goal.

Okay enough of that crap. I enjoyed writing that though. I’m here to tell about some ill-conceived conceptions that we still foolishly believe about the fairer sex. Get ready for a revelation. Brace yourself.

Myth 1 Women don’t respond to visual triggers as much as men do.

Bull. If men are visual beings, then so are women. So that doesn’t mean that they don’t like porn too. They do! I have a lot of girl buds who I got to confess that hard truth. The reason that pornography is exclusively associated to males is that we are the ones open enough to talk about it. I mean it would be so weird to hear women talk about how hard they want to be fucked with each other right? Society just deems that it is so. But most of the time, our societal norms turn out wrong. Believe you me, even the most straight-laced chick will probably ogle at your abs if you keep it in shape.

Women claim to place senses of smell and sound to attract her over looks but the truth is that she’s tripping. They’re stimulated by visual triggers just like we are. I wouldn’t put it past your girlfriend to watch a porn flick to take care of the itch every time you’re not around. Pray though that she only does it when she can’t have sex with you because if she does it even if you’re there, then you might want to evaluate your bed skills my man.

Myth 2 Women don’t like sex as much as we do

Would God have given them the ability for multiple orgasms if they didn’t? Ever been in the situation where you’re trying so hard just to keep yours up, she’s already ready for her fourth? Na ah I don’t think so! You’re killing me here! But if you read Cosmopolitan (Oh I just realized why we’re still fooled! Why the hell would you read Cosmo right?), you’ll find that they enjoy it as much as their boyfriends do. They may not ask for it but the truth is they want to. They just associate men with sexual gusto because we are the ones who actively seek it. But then again Cosmo? Why would they have a female version of For Horny Men…I mean For Him Magazine right?

The women that you date also want to get laid, just like you do. But unlike you (who live up to the societal norms of what a real “man” is), women have a harder societal barrier to overcome because sexually active women are labeled as sluts and whores. It would take quite a long time for her to overcome her inhibitions but if you make sure that she is comfortable around your presence when you put your moves on, then it’ll most likely be smooth sailing for both of you in bed later on.

Myth 3 Women are all about freedom and hate to be controlled

It’s natural that you would think like this because modern times introduced us to feminist and postmodernist perspective. But the truth is, women love strong men not wusses.

It is important that you know how to express your emotions. I don’t deny that. But not to the point of being a girly man! Women are attracted to men who are sure and secure with themselves and not pushovers. In short, they are attracted to our sense of control.

This explains another mystery. Do you know why women manipulate men in relationships? Why they play all these different mind-games? Because they want to have a little bit of that control themselves. You see? Their initial assumption is that MEN have the control, not them.

So we must show them that we know how to be in control when the situation demands it. That she could turn to us for protection. And that we are able to take care of her. You could be tough but understanding and sweet at the same time you know. They’re not really mutually exclusive.

Myth 4 Women love burly and cold macho men

Just like I said before, women are attracted to the sense of control that we project and not to our sheer insensitivity. You may see women who gravitate to bad boys who treat them like crap but those kinds of relationships are doomed to end. Women do like to be controlled but they also want to be appreciated. Don’t be the insensitive macho man who just wants to bang her on a date (because in all probability…you’re not going to get the chance to do so), be someone secure and confident as well as passionate and sensitive. It’s about balance my friend. It always has been.
