THE 'M E' (m.e.)


THE ‘M-E’
‘ME’ usually refers to oneself in the English language. I find this very coincidental that this also stands for, ‘male ego.’ I think this is the part where I will get severely punished for writing this, but here goes. A man’s ego is important. If you don’t show him how much he matters, well expect to be at the bottom of his priority list or turned into an option. In college, I had some awesome guy friends who in part will probably admit I was pretty scary. Ladies or guys for that matter, if you tower over most men at almost 6 foot as a female inform me on how you handle it lol, and I’ll take notes! (side note, I love being tall!) As a man, petite, short women or men are preferred to boost ego and easier to protect; unless you are the occasional male who wouldn’t mind standing next to an empire state building…alright not that tall, but close. The male ego needs to feel appreciated, wanted, needed, and especially like a hero. Male ego is fragile and can quite easily be misconstrued, thus creating a bigger mess than intended. I hate to burst the fish tank and kitty eats you, but if I mention another guy, hint I want to see him a little jealous. Why? Yes, I’m a satist with devil horns, and it makes me smile, but that’s a buzz kill to the ego. Rotten ideology maybe, but gosh I sure feel special when it’s me you want! The male ego is a painting not to be tampered with; very defined, equally toned, unique, and wonderful. However, the painting is an illusion. Tricky though it might seem, the complexity is there on purpose. If we understood each other's egos, there wouldn't be books out in the world on how to handle them! The ego is actually very impressive, like a man's biceps; not the ones Spongebob has or Arnold, I mean the ones where you know a guy takes good care of himself and he wants you to notice kind. For instance, a woman wonders why a man doesn't speak to her after she belittles his magic stick( oh gasp, I said it) in bed. Numero uno, no making fun of personal attributes, (male ego is fragile too), so unless you have established a rapport with that individual, don't do it. Ryan, a coworker, I call him a sloth, granted he calls me a donkey (inside joke, but we have established the joking and the quarks are alright. Men like to buy things for the women they actually want to provide for and like. The second you bash what he got, say bye bye to the gifts, and hello to the ones that you can get from Round Table out of the game machines. Ouch. Write this one down. You own it, and it's a better version, expect that he will have the same one like it, otherwise imagine the worst fight ever coming your way.  Male ego is good on the power and to be in control, ie. let him take charge of the BBQ, the backyard, the 'guy stuff' etc because he will be thrilled that you let him. Male ego is supercharged when they cook a meal or build something from scratch or fix a car; it's similar to when a person gets amped up from an energy drink. They are all kinds of happy that something turned out right. Tip? This is a turn on! Showing them how grateful or ecstatic you are when it's completed or after first bite, or viewing, they feel like it's christmas, and out comes the kisses, and if you are vivacious like some of us, off come the clothes, and there they are all man being rewarded but also accepted. Ego win. The male ego becomes confused with all the noise and emotion from supposedly nonsense things, such as a broken nail, or frizzy hair, or catty work friends; light goes on when its automobile won't start, kid broke his leg, someone broke into the house, wife needs help, or the plumbing in the house is hell in a hand basket. The 'M E' needs TLC, treat it right, like a car fanatic/mechanic treats cars, with respect :)
