Confessions of A Wannabe Man

"Why are all guys such jerks?"

"They're not all like that."

"They?"

"I don't necessarily count."

"Oh."

"Most guys are fundamentally decent, but, we're all fucked up in the same way. It's the big difference between men and women."

"What's that?"

"It ain't the parts, it's the wiring."

"And?"

"Honestly?"

"Honestly."

"The truth is, all men know exactly what they want. I mean they know what that one thing they want is..."

"And?"

"And they know they can never have it."

"Why not?"

"I don't know."

"What is it?"

"Can't talk about it either."

"Why?"

"As long as we keep it to ourselves we can pretend like we don't want it at all. And pretending is the only way we can go on without it."

"Sounds sad."

"It is."

<pause>

"Why are guys so weird?"

"Don't worry kid. We're not all like that."
