Guys love to gossip too

April 9, 2008

So I’m on one of these MTA New York City buses going home and minding my own business like I usually do (yes seriously).

I find myself sitting near a group of three guys towards the back of the bus, I’d guess they were between the ages of 34 to 44, one Latino and the other two African American. Anyway they start talking about how women lead men to do crazy things.

Now as I sit I think to myself I have to say they are right in a way – although men are to blame for getting themselves into that kind of mental state in the first place. And I can’t argue because I’ve heard numerous cases where either the guy  fights with another guy over a girl; attempts or succeeds in murdering his girlfriend and cases where the guy actually attempts suicide – it’s a sad truth.

Anyway, one guy starts going on a rant about how this one friend he knows shot himself in the mouth after his girlfriend left him. The same guy then says “That’s why I stay away from women” (I call him the hypocrite because he later lets slip that he has a girlfriend). The conversation starts to get personal when he tells the two guys that the only thing wrong with his girlfriend is that “she has a flat ass”. But then the other guy says “that’s a good thing because if she had a big one she would have it on show for everyone to see” (insecure or what).

so then they change the conversation slightly and begin talking about how women are becoming too masculine, like “they don’t wear skirts anymore” and “the gender roles are switching”. One of them began saying that he’s seen so many guys on the streets wearing skirts. The same guy who started the rant in the first place then brings me into the discussion by saying “she is the first woman I’ve seen wearing a skirt, – you look nice in your skirt girl”.

I then say: “Ermmm thank you” (All the while I’m thinking: “Dammit, I’m in their conversation now”)

At this point I’m getting off the bus, all three guys say “have a good day”. I sort of wanted to stay on the bus just to hear what other stories they had.  Obviously this is just a snap shot of what they were talking about but you get the idea. Guys can talk just as much as women and it‘s interesting to hear their thoughts on the lengths men will take to keep their partners.

    People are people the world over, gender differences are mostly biological and over sold to sell crappy magazines…
