I Aint Petty Playa

Ive always been a fan of introspection. I always say that people dont do it enough. I was doing a bit of that exact thing the other day and I was thinking about what my issues were as it related to wimen folk. In time people often find they have issues with the other sex as it relates to trust or commitment or selflessness or unconditional acceptance or whatever the case may be. Somehow I felt that I had avoided some of those traps. I never felt that I had or would have some of the traditional issues with a woman that I was with like a woman making more money than me or being more educated than me or being more wordly than me or anything more than me because I always thought that a woman showing me a thing or two about anything would be sexy and welcome. That was until I met a friend of my sisters the other day. This woman had it all going on for herself. She was independent, confident, classy, very educated and appeared to have it all together. She was traffic stoppingly beautiful and had the physique of an olympic athlete. And therein laid the problem. After a brief conversation I learned that this woman (lets call her Flojo) had ran track in college. Now I too had ran track in my day but it was in high school and I was terrible. She ran for a Division I University which puts her on a whole 'nother level. I learned that she had ran in the same events that I had participated in and had competed in the heptathlon one year. So that meant that she just wasnt good in one event but was an all around athlete. I was afraid to inquire about her times in the events she competed in because I feared that she would completely emasculate my times in high school and spontaneously shrivel my nads to an unrecognizable size. I was intimidated. I realized that I had a certain pride in my athletic prowess and the thought of a woman who could potentially smoke me in a foot race was too much for me to comprehend. Especially a woman who was fine and as put together as she. I realized that I had an issue. It wasnt a conventional one but an issue nonetheless. I tried to explain this to my sister and a couple others but they didnt understand. My concerns were dismissed and I was deemed an idiot. But it just showed how little women understood menzes and what was important to them in there relationships with wimenz.
Now I wasnt in a relationship with this woman but her being this phenom athlete had posed serious issues for any potential dealings in the future. I was actually glad that I had found this information out when I did before I was caught in a compromising situation without knowing she had these abnormal abilities. I was explaining to my brother in law this scenario. Here we go yo. Suppose a group of us had gathered one afternoon for a friendly co-ed game of touch football. And suppose that Flojo and I were placed on opposite teams. And suppose that I was assigned the duties of playing defense on her to keep her from catching any and every pass that should come her way. No problem right? Well it shouldnt be because Im a guy and she is a girl and there is no way that she should be able to beat me off the line of scrimmage and catch passes all willy nilly if I really decide to lock it down. And if push really came to shove then I could get a bit physical and jam her up at the line. Well that line of thinking would hold up before I knew that she was a world class sprinter. Now the ball is snapped and the play called for Flojo to run a go route. That is the wrong time to figure out that ole' girl that you are guarding is actually way faster than you and you end up getting burnt in front of the crew. Whether she catches the ball or not is immaterial. My azz just got blown up on a fly pattern and was seen flailing about as I tried to recover and save face. The only way I could potentially save face would be to pull up lame and fake and injury or pretend it was a blown coverage or some shit. But it would have been a extremely trying episode had I not know of her abilities beforehand. I mean I know her capabilities now, so I can avoid any situations that could compromise my manhood in a blatant public way. But the possibility still remains that her 40 time could get her consideration for the league.
Now I know this all may sound a bit chauvinistic and petty, but at the core, my issues are very similar to the others in that all men want to feel like the dominant party in the relationship. And if a woman is dominating in one way or another then it can intimidate a man and the relationship can suffer. Now in what area a man might be threatened by a woman will differ from man to man. Obviously an athletic woman may be my issue but for another man it may be a well educated woman or a successful career woman. Either way it takes a certain level of security and maturity and acknowledgement to be able to check your issues at the curb as not to interferer with an otherwise stable and nourishing relationship.
Women have to recognize the importance of these gender relations too though. It is well documented and constantly discussed how a man is to treat a woman but do women know what it takes to please a man? Well next time I see her Im going to challenge her to a foot race and see if she knows how to treat a man.
