The universal rule of guys beeing unreliable and girls being angry about it...
I love my random playlist - it takes me from Creed to PS12 and Thomas Butenschoen in less than 15 minutes... And Thomas B was kind enough to make me ponder.
When was the agreement made that guys should always somehow be unreliable and girls always be the ones being pissed off about it...?
When I was younger I worked in a bar and more time than once did wifes and girlfriends call to please speak to their partner who had not come home as agreed. At one point a girlfriend even came in the door, all dressed up asking her boyfriend -still in workattire- 'did we not have a date?' all he answered was yes, gulped down the rest of his beer in about 3 seconds, and out the door they went...
Now about 15 years after this insident I am living on another continent and while cooking I listen to music and here comes Thomas B singing about how he is on his way to see his girlfriend, but he is stalling on his way as he knows she is pissed off... It is possible to think that it is for Danish guys to not turn up as agreed or in other ways break promises.
But then I think about my dating life - sampled from 3 continents - and some of the other songs that come up on the playlist... And I can conclude that it is not for Danish guys alone, or for Danish girls for that matter. Most of the songs by female singers are about broken promises, while the ones from guys don't mention anything to the sort - except if it is to say 'sorry I messed up, I know you are angry' in one way or another...
Don't get e wrong, my boyfriend is amazing but none the less he has developed the sentence - and used it to me- 'I just didn't want your wrath'. Autch... So I am the horrid angry girlfriend - and here I was thinking i was quite flexible...
But I have desided not to despair because with the pondering I have done this evening. I am thinking maybe this is the one context where 'universalism' has a place and a conclusion can be drawn. Guys are bound to not keep agreements - and forget to inform about not keeping it - and girls are bound to be mad about it - because the least you can do is inform, preferably in good time...
