Astrology with Dr Z - Guys Are Guys

Mythologist Joseph Campbell claimed that in “relationship,” woman is the initiator, with man coming in close to the woman to be initiated into the deeper secrets of life and of love. He was right... guys are for the most part clueless about such things... although a few of us do try...

Like the popular book series claims: Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. I recently came across a slightly different take on this: Men are Clams, Women Are Crowbars.

Anyway... guys are guys are guys... and, like it or not, we are never going to be you...

Different Kinds of Guys
Granted... as astrology (and life) attempts to teach us... there are many different kinds of guys:

While (unlike you) we guys really aren't all that complicated or complex in what we want and/or need... most of us guys are a combination of two or more of the above guys.

Zen State of Mind - What Are You Thinking About?
And yes, ladies... much (or most) of the time, when you ask us, we really aren't thinking about anything.

If you happen to believe what spiritual guru Eckhart Tolle has to say on the matter of creating empty spaces in our minds in order to be more "conscious," then this lack of thought potentially makes us guys very spiritual... as we are easily able to create lots and lots of "inner-space."

Yep! We, guys, live much of our lives (at least while at relaxing at home) in a constant state of Zen satori (a blissful moment of "no mind").

Steve Harvey and the big O
You likely saw Steve Harvey on the Oprah Show hawking his popular book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man?

While Harvey's book (and wisdom) is simplistic, and I can't bring myself to go along with a lot he has to say, some parts are dead on. For example there's something crucially important that Harvey has to say (that I've been preaching about for years):

Harvey says four little words can strike fear and dread into any man: We need to talk. "You just drove a nail in his forehead," Harvey says.

Men are fixers, not talkers, Harvey says, so it's better to get to the point. "When you say, 'We need to talk,' we put up the barriers," he says. "I tell ladies, just sit down and strike up a conversation." CNN

Yep, ladies! Ahem! This is, in fact, what originally sparked off my desire to write this article on guys! So... if you choose to take nothing else away from this disgusting, insensitive, "guy article" - then please tattoo this one thing to your forehead (figuratively speaking)...

When attempting to talk to your guy about something that you consider to be of a "serious" and/or "critical" nature... never, never, never start off the conversation by saying: "We need to talk." (Related article: Get A Clue!)

If you do start off the conversation by saying: "We need to talk." ... then I can guarantee you that you're not going to get what you wanted... due to thousands of years of evolution, men tend to establish intimacy in ways very differently than you do. You honestly think you're creating the conditions necessary to establish intimacy with that man. You're not. You're not.

Pithy Conclusion:
Guys are guys are guys... and we will always be guys...

Yep! And (if you're lucky) we will never be (complicated) you, and we will never be the romantic (illusory Neptune fantasy) hunky guy starring in your favorite soap opera.

Oh... we can temporarily, from time to time, pull it off for you... but we are simply guys...

And chances are that, once you put a few more miles on your life experience odometer, you'll likely discover you never really wanted us to be you, anyway.
