Are you a WHORE or a BORE?

I’ve been overhearing a lot of male conversations lately and from that there is one thing I deduce: Every boy just wants to get into a girl’s pants. I guess the word ‘just’ is the overarching word here, because women too want to get into men’s pants, except that they expect much more. Women want to be wooed, chased, delighted, surprised, and entertained before they feel ready to go to the next level. Men on the other hand, are ever ready for mission underpants. Maybe that’s why everyone talks about a woman ‘giving’ herself to a man and not the other way round. Even sexually starved women who claim that they have little expectations, and that they just want to get it done with, secretly crave all of the above. 

In a man’s dictionary, if you are not a whore, you are a bore. The boring girls eventually become  life partners. Men want it that way – someone to ‘settle’ down with. The boring girl finds one night stands exciting in romantic novels, but when it comes to real life it doesn’t actually happen to her. One reason may be that she doesn’t let it happen to her. Even though a part of her is seduced into the idea, another part of her finds it too risqué. Being boring is comfortable. 

The whores make men work for them and take plenty before they give a little. They keep men guessing, wanting, hoping all the time and remain non-committal throughout. The whores come with zero emotional baggage, or so men like to think. Don’t we all know women who seem to have the attention of more men they can handle and yet come home to bury their head in their pillow and cry? Many whores would love to actually feel loved and getting screwed just doesn’t cut it. So am I saying that the bores want to be whores and the whores want to be bores? Maybe. 

Then of course there are the in-betweens – a whore on a Friday night where everything about you says ‘pick me up’ and a bore on a Sunday morning, lounging in your old jammies with a plate of fried eggs and greasy bacon. 

Whores are so damn spunky, they could be your idol. If you want to get some, you need to learn from them. Yet in some ways they are like china glass, emotionally fragile because they have been so fucked up. The bores will always be there for you, your agony aunts, observing the other side from the sidelines. The bores are content in their own world for the most part, but possibly a little too content. They need to be thrown into the wild side once in a while. 

Whichever side of the fence you’re sitting on, women, we really have a lot to learn from each other.
