Some Thoughts About Saturday Night Fever
Raise your hands, guys, if you go out looking for a wife on Saturday night. You don’t, do you? You definitely go out looking for girls, but you’re not looking for a lasting commitment. That’s not always the case with the girls, though.
Although we all have our differences, we’re all alike in a lot of ways, too. Relationships are the furthest thing from most guys’ minds until they fall in love. Until then, all they’re after is getting as much sex as they possibly can. If you took a poll of men and asked them if they had ever once thought about solitaire engagement rings, probably not a single one of them would say yes.
On the other hand, ask a thousand girls if they have ever thought about princess cut engagement rings and probably every hand in the place will go up. Women think about commitment. Men don’t.
Nature must be very clever to have found a way to make men make a commitment to women. As if by magic, what started out as a simple affair turns into a full blown love affair. Suddenly a man is willing to throw away his freedom just to be with one woman. Some people even think falling in love is a form of insanity, but without it, life probably wouldn’t work.
There are no doubt biological imperatives in the whole process of mating. Before the age of birth control, if a woman had sex, she was in danger of getting pregnant. As a result, women were never as promiscuous as men. It was too dangerous. Therefore, women always put the commitment of marriage high on their list of priorities. While birth control has allowed women more freedom, it hasn’t changed their more basic need for security in a mate.
Men have never had that much pressure put on them, though. Since they weren’t the ones carrying the baby inside, they had the option of shirking the responsibility. Interestingly enough, though, even if society didn’t demand that men take that responsibility, most men would feel it somewhere inside. Still, before the baby comes along, unless he’s in love, all a man wants to do is get laid.
Saturday nights are a big part of mating rituals that exist in all species throughout time. While girls sweatshirts were fine for lounging around the house by day, at night she takes out her sexiest outfit to go out on the town. The guys, who are most comfortable in jeans and a tee shirt, put on the clothes they think will make them look their best. Then they get together and flirt and dance. If everything goes to plan, they don’t go home alone.
One of these days, something’s going to happen to change all that. You’ll exchange your Saturday nights out on the town for a stint at changing the diapers. And you’ll like it. That’s just the way it works. Deal with it.
