Angry and single? You shouldn’t be
Don’t get bogged down into the Festive Season blues because you don’t have a female companion to spend it with. You might well be better off
MEN around the world will never run out of reasons to complain.
When they’re married, they complain that the old ‘ball and chain’ is dragging them down.
When they are single, they complain that all the ‘good ones are taken.’
And don’t you even deny it, there are very few men who never utter a word of complaint when discussing the opposite sex.
As much as the South African male bravado is one of absolute control and macho-man arrogance with catchphrases like ‘Wait, love, this is a job for a man’, or ‘Bokkie, I got this,’ women, South African women specifically, really run the show.
They will always get what they want, you just don’t realise it. Some are subtle, some are a bit louder. But one way or another, you will bow to her wishes eventually.
From the cradle
Before you get into your bakkie to take a drive down to the ZO offices to give me a talking to, let me explain:
Do you remember when you were younger how afraid of your dad you were? If he got angry you started running, and stayed quiet for the next few days, sneaking around the house.
It was Armageddon if that anger was directed at you.
And guess who knew where the button was to make sure it was? Your mother.
How many times have you heard ‘I am going to call your father’? If she couldn’t control you, she used your father to do it for her.
It is some sort of mother to daughter training that is passed on telepathically, because they sure don’t learn it at school.
So if you are alone these holidays, don’t be sad.
Just think of all the other okes being forced to do all sorts of boring stuff they don’t want to do by their wives, their girlfriends, their grandmothers and even their daughters.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the bachelor life… you will miss it when it’s gone.
To all the ladies reading this, you know we can’t live without you (wink)
Merry Christmas!
