"Belles...Of The Balls."

I couldn't help but get to thinking about my friends - Body image depression, unpredictable mood swings, those late night calls obsessing about a relationship ... Did I mention that these are predominately my male friends? So, maybe men and women aren't from different planets as pop culture would have us believe. Perhaps in actuality we live a lot closer to one another than one might think, dare I even say it, in the same zip code? In view of current circumstances and which I've prior stated, I couldn't help but wonder ... Are we men really just women with balls?

If you thoroughly consider it, it's not like we emotionally differ nowadays as opposed to the past. We're all simply throttling up on power in the bedroom, as these day you're prone to accumulating a lengthy list of sexual partners due to all the game players and emotionally unavailable individuals who roam freely among us. It's really not far fetched to proclaim that the few who still believe in true love are beginning to lose hope in the whole idea.

Maybe, it's even less far fetched in proclaiming the improbability of believing in true love nowadays, given the cynical world we live in now. Perhaps, it's exactly what's making women fashion the negative male stereotype in the matters of commitment. But if men and women are indeed becoming one in the same in a world where it is said that opposites attract, and never equivalents, what precisely does that imply for the future?
