Battle of Sexes

The everlasting clash between the two sides of a male's perspective and a women's perspective. The battle that seems to have no end in sight, the stronger these connections get these days the more learning and growing we must experience through it. What I am writing about is the different ways we view platonic and intimate relationships. This has been something that has been weighing on me for a good amount of time. Having discussions amongst both sides of the spectrum, leave me here to write about it.

I recently was in deep conversion with a girl I consider to be the equal of a blood sibling, we were talking about how the way that guys think and how their perspective dictates how girls shape their beliefs on relational things. To be more clear, girls act on the action of guys which can lead to both negative and positive effects. The positive is that girls have a better insight on the guy's perspective of things helping her be better prepared for different reactions to various situations. But the negative is that unfortunately there are a number of girls who take in the wrong perception of the situation and when they react with counter actions it not only hurts the relationship but it also gives way to world of stereotypes placed on most guys when it come to the topic of relationships.

These stereotypes and beliefs stem from a number of different vessels. All things ranging from the constant argument that no guy can commit to true loyalty, to the counter argument that girls are way to friendly to other guys. Both sides seem to always attack the idea of loyalty, but why is that? Is it because we as people cant trust ourselves, so trusting others seems like a unbeatable task? Or is it because we are so afraid of commitment that when we experience something real we may not be strong enough to handle it?

Girls and guys when always fight this battle no matter how far ahead we are in these relational things. We both always have a supporting cast behind us through every argument, acting as proofreaders to our mistaken situation (your friends). Receiving insight from people on their thoughts and opinions only fills your mind with so many diverse ideas that when it comes time to collectively think together to solve our differences, we are left with the ideas of others mixed in with our own emotions leaving us to wonder, will this back and forth game ever be completed, or are we all new players in a game of hall of famers. These situations happen in the best of relationships, and these topics are always debated because both sides always feel the need for more insight and even clarity from their opposing side. Working together helps out the most and working through negative problems is paramount.
