My Siren song: A delectable secret

"Women have a talent no man can ever posses, they taunt, they smile, they look and they have a way about them that can undo any man."

Last night I had a rather revealing conversation with a very good guy friend of mine. Highlights of the conversation went something like this:

D: Women are trouble M, you know you lot are right?

M: lol, that's a bit harsh. What happened?

D: Women are just complicated. 

M: I am not complicated at all.

D: Sweety, you are the mecca of complication, there's complicated and there's you.

M: Dude!

D: Women are my personal hell. 

That's what I find interesting, women are his personal hell. Really? Of all the things going on in the world, women are his personal hell? One exasperated explanation later and I got the skinny on why women haunt men or this man as it were. According to D all women are beautiful, even if it's not clearly defined. Her laugh, the way she ruffles her hair, a smile even her rage is apparently a tempestuous beauty. That beauty is a supposed problem for guys because it's like a Siren's song.

The complicated women theory is not actually about women being difficult to understand. Really? Yes apparently, complicated women are complicated because they hold a secret and that secret makes them even more appealing. Secrets are part of a woman's charm, mystery hidden behind words and gestures. The quest to uncover that secret drives men insane and complicates their life. Whose fault is that? 

I consider myself a direct person. If I want something, I usually go after it. you know like that line from What Women Want: 'No Games, Just Sports'. I am not complicated at all. Wrong it seems, because according to D's "intimate" knowledge on the subject, the more direct, confident and persistent a woman is the more secrets she has. "Oh she's a whole lot of fun that one," he says with glee. (No wonder he is in "hell" he's happy about it.) The reasoning behind this is that more confident and direct a woman is the more "delectable" a secret she has. Ahh, if only D knew some the guys I know.

"All women have this talent to pull men into a hell of confusion, and they do these things without even realising it sometimes. Some are so skilled that they wear these talents permanently. Some have such raw talent that they can't even help themselves and the worse kind, is the woman who doesn't care what men think of her, her appeal is magnetic. She's a like a lioness, careful, patient and persistent." 

Makes women sound positively devious and calculating doesn't it? It's easy to get offended by a statement like that but I shall embrace this one. I find the idea of being able to draw men into a 'hell of confusion' with a simple smile rather exciting.
