Often, I sit with MCsquared in silence. For a long time, that silence was uncomfortable to me, and I found myself asking those four little words that most men dread being asked.
"What are you thinking?"
The reality is - I only want to know what he is thinking if he's thinking about something that has to do with me. That's the truth.
Because - what McSquared is usually thinking is nothing. Not one thing. Or he's thinking about how expensive gas is, or he's thinking that his Prius isn't giving him enough gas mileage, or he's thinking that his butt itches.
But he's not thinking the one thing I want him to be thinking when I ask him, "what are you thinking." I want him to be thinking deeper thoughts like, "I'm so lucky to be married to dyang" or "how can I go on giving dyang everything that she wants/deserves?" or "Dyang is so beautiful.." or "I'm angry with Dyang, and it has made me think deep thoughts that make me look so hot sitting here aloof..."
Okay - so maybe not sooo goofy, but some derivative of that. I think a lot of women who ask this question are thinking the same thing, admittedly so or not. Afterall, we are all a bit narcissistic (sp!?) like that - aren't we?
The immediate answer, after our men, posed with such a question, are silent, is, "Are you angry with me? Is it me?" Most of the time, the answer is - no. But - if you keep asking - it will fast become you.
So - when I ask McSquared what he's thinking - I don't really want to know - unless it's about me, or something deep related to me, or something that makes him seem very vulnerable (like -how he was teased as a kid- and needs some sort of reassurance from me, the woman in his life that means everything, that he is loveable... (that is tootally hot too))...
So men, if you're actually reading this blog, if you really want to answer this question in a way that pleases your woman (because - your real answer won't - I know it already) - make the answer related to her in some way... and then let her prattle on about the answer to your concern, and we will leave you alone..
You say nothing - and we will never let it go.
Never.
I totally mean that.. We will either keep hunting for the answer, or get pissed off at you....
I'm blogging this - while glowering at McSquared for not answering the question correctly..
