sad-man-black-white-photoA stupid man does not know who he is. He doesn’t know why he is the way he is, and he can’t figure out why he keeps committing the same mistakes over and over again all the while expecting different results. He runs from woman to woman thinking that he will find balm for his wounded spirit. He doesn’t know he’s an image, and he’s totally unaware how his thoughts, experiences and images have shaped what he is today. Most stupid men are codependent, and it shows in their behavior. Codependent behaviors… are those unhealthy behaviors we learned as children. Often, these behaviors are simply the tools we use to protect ourselves in our household environment, and they seem to help us cope with the disturbing experiences we suffered during childhood. But these unhealthy coping strategies are self-destructive. If they are not dealt with, they will ruin every relationship you have. One unhealthy characteristic of a codependent person is that they tend to find themselves attracted to needy people and needy people are attracted to them. Men, in their stupidity, seldom tackle their codependent issues. Why? Because they think they can fix everything, including themselves. As far as generalities go, men view women as weak, emotional, erratic, hormonal individuals in need of fixing. What they don’t understand is things are completely the opposite. Men are the ones terribly in need of fixing, but they will seldom reach out for help.

When you give another person
the power to define you,
then you also give them
the power to control you.
