Why oh "Y" - Deployment Daze 143

I always had this theory, even thought about writing a book, about why guys do the things they do. You know what I mean....the stories are everywhere. Sex and City, He Just Not that Into You, they all use this topic as their main theme. The stories of never calling, breaking up in an email or post-it, all of sudden not talking to you, etc. Out of the blue weird behavior. I blame it on the Y chromosome. It's the Y factor and every guy has it and gets it. There just ain't no stopping it.


You see no one told me that you would get to experience or relive dating hell when you have a teenage daughter. It's true. As my daughter experiences the let downs of dealing with boys, I feel it too. How do you explain why a boy just stops talking to her? How do you help her overcome the humiliating and damaging feelings when the guy blames her? Not to mention the buried feelings you have yourself that rise to surface from your past. It is really difficult.

If as a teenage girl you are subject to this jerk like behavior then no wonder we turn out the way we do. Why are guys so surprised as adults that women are untrusting, clingy, nagging, etc.? They made us this way by their treatment of us in high school. Their dumb ass behavior just made it worse for some guy in the future.

So I guess the best advice I can give, is blame it on the Y factor. It's nothing personal. It's not about you. It's their issue. The guy! The one with the defective chromosome. They can't help it. It's in their genes. Handed down from generation to generation.

To my honey, yes you have the Y factor. I'm sure in your earlier days your Y factor created a dating hell for some poor girl. And there are times when I have to remind myself that it is the Y factor I'm dealing with. I still love you Y factor and all. I missed you alot when you were out on mission these past few days. I am looking forward to you being home for RnR soon. Hope you enjoy your Valentine's gift. Life is going according to plan. Nothing major to report.
