Tonight, bored with the TV yet bored enough to continue to flick through channel after channel, I finally came across a program on ABC2 that definitely took my fancy.
Shrink Rap, a program billed as part chat show, part psycho-dynamic interview - how could you possibly resist!?
Pamela Stephenson meets Gene Simmons tonight. Those who know me well will know that the fact Gene Simmons, one of the most outrageous rocking gods from my youth, was more than enough reason to sit back and enjoy the celeb therapy ride.
Gene Simmons is not only one of my favourite glam rocking, fire breathing, blood spitting, tongue lashing muso's, he is also in fact a very clever man. An incredibly interesting man. Yet a typical man...
He's opinionated, arrogant and sexist. Yet, he makes many statements that I can't quite say I would really argue with at the end of the day? A tad brutal...and yes, all you feminist, single, middle aged women will be horrified with what follows. But oh well...you'll get over it :)
Power. Men like holding the power. Men like having the control. Women like strong, powerful, in control men. Fact. Face it ladies, how many of us really chase the average Mr nice guy? Hmmmm....not many I bet?
When a man and a woman come together in most scenario's, there is some type of sexual aura around. Fact. Argue all you like, but it's true, and I don't care how good that platonic relationship is - one of you at least thinks about or wants more!
Women in their middle aged years have a biological desperation to reproduce. They will "hunt" for that mate and ultimately "own" his sperm. Fact. Now this is not something I relate to, however I can not deny having witnessed many more women than not doing just this! It really is a jungle out there...
Continuous "cat and mouse" games will continuously torture women, yet boost the male ego to obscene levels. Fact.
When a man is in love and makes a choice to be with a woman, it is more profound then when a woman makes a choice to be with a man. Women have a certain desperation to meet that life partner, Men don't. You know what, fact! Yeah, yeah, I can hear those mutters of disgust already.
What are men always trying to figure out about women? NOTHING!!! Still pretty much on the mark sad to say. Yet women are constantly trying to figure out and "fix" men?
Man can be intimate with a woman and have absolutely no emotion involved. Fact.
Women will always have an emotional attachment when intimate with a man. Fact.
Sooooo...men believe it's ok to find physical pleasure elsewhere, even though they are truly in love with the one waiting at home. Sex with no meaning for men is bliss. FACT.
Considering us women have come so far over the decades, there are just some things you can't fight or change. The above are just a few...
