Yeah, you read it right. The male species is on the verge of losing its existence…hehehe. I was reading the Sunday Lifestyle section of the Philippine Star and I can’t help but share with you an article by Scott R. Garceau- The XY Files. The inset states: Female genes are growing in complexity while male genes are eroding like a stack of moldy men’s magazines. The author presented the scientific report and some messages to the gals. When you are in a serious relationship with someone from the opposite sex, of course you want to understand each other. I really found the article amusing and quite factual. Here are some excerpts:
Ask most guys what they want to do with their precious time off, and you’re likely to get very unimaginative responses. Doing pretty much nothing makes most males perfectly happy. But ask a woman the same question and you’ll get a recitation that lasts half an hour. Women never run out of creative ideas to fill your time. And now science has an explanation for why this is.
It seems that us males are just not genetically up to challenge of the frenzied pace of modern life. Our chromosomes researchers tell us, are a bunch of lazy asses. Yes, American researchers earlier this year came up with a hypothesis about the genetic makeup of males and females that may shed light on why certain sexes enjoy shopping, while others prefer napping.
Men are said to be XY, while women are XX, meaning their 46th chromosome is a second "X" instead of the male "Y". And it’s that extra "X": factor, scientists say, that makes women potentially better, faster, stronger.
As Dr. Huntington Willard, a gene expert at Duke UniversIty, puts it: "We poor men have only 45 chromosomes to do our work with because the 46th is a pathetic Y that has only a few genes taht operate below the waist and above the knees." "Women have more complexity, which men view as unpredictability," sniffs David Page, a molecular biologist at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at Cambridge, Massachusetts. And while women are said to be creatures of "infinite variety;" genetically speaking, if you’ve met one man, you’ve met them all.
And here are some "guy rules" to live about…
1. Men ARE NOT mind readers.
2. Sunday sports: it’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
3. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
4. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
5. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfirends are for.
6. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is not just worth the hassle.
7. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
Hay…men. Let’s just understand them…anyway nalalapit na ang katapusan…haha kidding.
