Second Life Social PsychologyWhat Do Men Do AFTER They "POOF" ???Recently I wrote about an aspect of the Second Life Social Psychology of men in that they tend to "POOF" when faced with some conflict with their gal-pals. This funny article answers the question, "What do men do AFTER they "POOF" ??? After that first article, "WHY do men "POOF?" I received an onslaught of comments from readers...every one of them female. Apparently I hit a nerve. So, after he "POOFS" what does the fella do while he is offline? Is he searching his soul, trying to come up with a suitable apology for his gal? Is he sifting through their conversation trying to find a reasonable answer to their disagreement? Trying to compose a smooth, soothing answer? Not a chance, he is licking his balls in moody silence. In his cave. Alone. See, men have a different style for getting over things. We like to be alone for awhile, and collect our composure. The very worst thing a woman can do is to try to follow a man into his "cave" to get him to talk. There was a famous book that came out some years ago that explored this phenomenon. You may have heard of it. It was called "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." And the book hit the nail on the "head," pardon my pun! Gals, brace yourselves, I am going to tell you something very profound. Here we go, are you ready? Ok, here it is: Guys are NOT women!Yep. A real shocker isn't it? Guys are not women. Seems pretty obvious. Though sometimes in SL it is not always so obvious, what with gals playing in male avies--and vice versa. But yes, in reality, guys are NOT women. What I mean by this obvious statement is that guys do not--generally--respond to things like women do. We men retreat to our caves to lick our balls...err...our wounds, sorry. But seriously. We guys need time alone to nurse our wounded pride and "lick it." Yes, just like dogs.So, you're thinking...after he poofs...that he is at home ruminating over his failure to communicate, and is going to come back momentarily, apologize, and sweep you off your feet with sweet cooings. Nope. He is at home, sitting in his cave, alone, on his rock, with his balls in his lap, carefullymassaging them and licking the sore spots. "Why did she SAY that to me! She hurt my feelings!" lick, lick, lick. We men have an entirely different style--from woman-- to "get over" things. Women gather together, wail and talk, talk talk. They will examine every nuance of a conversation together..."I said this, then he said that, then I responded with this and then he "POOFED!" Did I say something wrong? What did I say wrong?" and then she and her girlfriends will examine and dissect and ressect every last word, tone and inflection of the discussion. Endlessly. For hours. And cry. And bitch! Men? Talk it over with our buddies? Cry? HA! Not a chance. In fact, we will go out and mow the lawn, carefully pushing our mower over the lawn, with our big, blue, bruised, sore, swollen, basket-ball-sized balls dragging behind us on the ground. And another guy would not DARE say a thing about it. In fact, while mowing the lawn with his big balls hanging out behind him--maybe they're riding in a little wagon attached to his belt, but still out in the open for everyone to see--he may see a neighbor guy mowing HIS lawn, dragging HIS blue balls behind HIM, and they will stop at the fence, and have this conversation.... Jim: "Hey Dave, how are ya?" They will discuss the pennant race for a few minutes, then get back to work, mowing their lawns, nary a mention made of the HUGE blue balls each is dragging behind him. Each walking through their own carefully-marked-off domains, their big bruised balls hanging up on rocks and bushes, door frames. Not showing any sign of pain, gritting their teeth, No fear. No pain. No talky. But with our women? Ahhhhh now that's a different story. With THEM there is just one way for a man to respond... POOF!
