Feb 20, 2003 “It’s not a hypothesis anymore it’s a FACT made by my friend Cyndi and I” We girls always have “girl talks” and talk about anything and everything especially about the topic of how guys are extremely frustrating and extremely hard to figure out. Trust me, we’ve stopped figuring out guys a long time ago, because we figured, “Oh why bother, they are the way they are and they are never going to change.” They are completely hopeless”! So, one late night, Cyndi and I were talking during one of our many late night discussions and came to the conclusion that Yup Yup...“GUYS ARE LIKE CHIMPS” because they often times say the most irrelevant and most senseless things, not thinking of the effect that it could have on the people, especially the women around them. Guys can be extremely cute, when they try to be, don’t get me wrong, but they can also be extremely senseless and often times even more so obnoxious and weird. Face it, “Guys are like Chimps” and there is no other way of putting it! Here’s an example: For years, every woman has been experiencing the same problem, where we talk to our husband, or boyfriend and the guy just totally tunes us out and doesn’t catch a word of the topic that’s under discussion due to being glued to the TV and watching his most favorite Monday Night Football because his favorite team is on and they are trailing the visitors by how ever many points. Oh, the poor idiots! It’s just a game so we think anyway no big deal, and there’s always next season, but to a guy a Football game on Monday Night Football is EVERYTHING, so they happily tune us out! So, instead of focusing on us and hearing what we’re saying as they watch the ball bounce around and gawk at the Cheerleaders they end up getting totally side tracked and end up saying something totally irrelevant and out of character which makes absolutely no sense at all and it just takes the whole conversation no where. It’s something that’s been an ongoing problem from generation to generation and we women always ask ourselves “Why doesn’t he understand me or “Why doesn’t he hear me?“ Right, Ladies? Well its quite mind boggling if you think of the nature of it, but it’s also because Guys are like Chimps.” They are just too busy and too consumed with themselves at times that they don’t seem to notice when a woman is trying to hint something sweet, or nice or even tries to be a bit romantic. So, instead, the guy ends up saying something and just completely kills the moment. Wow, nice going! Here’s another example: I was talking to Ben not too long ago, who happens to be a guy I’ve been interested in for a while now. We were talking On- line as he was trying out this new program of his that lets him draw things online. A few minutes later Ben ended up drawing a Winnie the Pooh graphic with a Honey pot and posted a name, and called it something along the lines of “To my girl....” ....of course being where my name was inserted. So I spend a few minutes, just in awe thinking to myself, “Oh my god, that guy is just the sweetest” and then my curiosity kicked in and I just couldn’t help but ask him, so, does that mean that I’m your girl”? Ben just replied and said “Nah, I was just trying out the Program”. … Arghh.Talk about cold shower! How cruel is that? I just dropped my jaw and sat there quietly for a moment not believing what I saw. “How could you say something as stupid as this “, I thought to myself.. “You just killed a good moment” Don’t get me wrong, often times, Ben is and can be extremely sweet when he wants to be but that was just totally uncalled for. Someone might want to tell me that I am reading too much into things, which I can understand, but who knows, that was just my opinion at the time. So me being a girl, I automatically told my friend Cyndi about what Ben just did and all she said was “ Yup, what did I tell ya, “GUYS ARE DEFINITELY LIKE CHIMPS”. So I went quiet for a moment, being a bit disappointed by Ben’s reply and asked Cyndi what shall I do? Cyndi just automatically replied to me and said “Well since Guys are like Chimps I suggest you smack him with a Banana!" I just smiled and thought to myself upon reading that hilarious line that just so came at the right moment at the right time. “Woaw! That’s right huh?” Chimps love Banana’s so I think it was perfectly fitting! It was definitely one funny comment from a funny southern girl! So,now I think I should perhaps go on a quest to look for Banana’s to hand out because you never know, the guy next to you might be acting up, so more can be said about the next time when “Guys are like Chimps” About the author: I'm a full time college student / Journalism Major.
