What is it with the opposite sex? We are so unbelievably different and yet we seek each other out constantly so we can annoy and frustrate each other. Yet there is nothing better than relaxing with a loved one or having that massive adrenaline rush when you enter a new relationship.

Women are so different and perhaps it is because of that, that we want to be with them. They say that opposites attract and, with men and women dating and marrying, it certainly proves that rule. It is well documented that at their most basic level women find the protection and safety a man can offer very attractive and that men want an attractive woman who can provide children. Even in today’s world, those two fundamental reasons for attraction still hold true.

Why are women so great? And why do we throw away our dignity in the pursuit of them? Men are often making fools of themselves or becoming the butt of their friend’s jokes over a woman and yet we gladly do it. It is because, as close as we are to our male friends, we can never truly be ourselves. The male world is too competitive to give away everything about yourself.

Men are also, more often than not, terrible at listening to, and providing solutions to, emotional problems. We can be vulnerable in front of women and that is incredibly appealing, even if we don’t like to say it. Men also like to be appreciated, and women show this better than men. Being funny in front of your girlfriend is twice as fulfilling as being funny in front of the guys.

Let’s face it, we also like the way women look. An attractive woman with a great body is something to behold and we will take that over virtually anything else. The human body is a wonderful thing, this is especially the case if that body is willing to sleep with you.

So here is to women, I salute you all. Despite the frustrations and annoyances you bring, you also blow us away and give us a chance to be ourselves and feel totally relaxed.
