Life as a Hallmark Card

So I stumbled across this card in the store the other day and I couldn't help but think how perfectly it represented the differences between the way the X and Y chromosomes approach relationships.

Yup, that just about sums it up. I get letters from women all over the world wantin to know why their Romeo isn't quoting Shakespeare, um, well Shakespeare doesn't have breasts...duh. It's really quite remarkable, the Y's fascination with boobies. I mean, you could go with the whole "because they don't have them," angle, but there are other body parts we don't share and you don't see any women transfixed on those boy thingys.

Not to say that boobies are the soul focus of the Y's attentions, no, the backside gets a bit of play as well. And of course they love the beautiful person you are inside as well, but that falls a very distant 3rd to the parts they can see. Sweetpotato can say all day long that he loves me for my mind, but I can guaran-damn-tee you that if my brain was a bit smaller and my breasts a bit larger, he'd hardly complain.

The lesson here ladies, is not that men are simple - that has been documented since the beginning of time. And the lesson is not even that Prince Charming doesn't exist, for in fact, there are men everywhere waiting to save you from paying your own bar tab. The key is to make sure your vision of Prince Charming exists in the realm of reality. He may slay dragons and scale towers to come to your rescue, but let's face it, even as he sweeps you away on his white horse, he's just tryin' to cop a feel. You don't honestly think that Prince climbed up Rapunzel's hair to look into her eyes, do you? Give me a break!

Look, it's not all that bad. Just know that your Price Charming will always be trying to peek down your shirt and use it to your advantage. So what's a lost button on your blouse if the trash gets taken out? Looks like that Wonderbra was worth every penny!
