During this morning’s mass, I recalled an old scene, which took place over twenty years or so ago. We were going to watch a movie at the Century 10-Plex near my neighborhood. The place has since shut down.
Anyway, there was a young couple standing outside the ticket area. They were wearing black, Goth-like clothes. Their hair was dark black, too. They were very tall and lanky, if not skinny. The guy was standing to the left of his “girlfriend”.
I overheard the “boyfriend” ask his “girlfriend”: What do you want to do [next]?
The “girlfriend” replied: “Let’s go to you home and get high.”
I saw how the guy lowered his head and didn’t say a word. There was a moment of silence between the two as we continued onward to the building to watch our show as the sun began to set.

This little recollection made me feel sorry for the guy. He sensed he needed direction because of the movie selection. and the girl wasn’t using her brain. Instead of doing something constructive together as a “loving” couple, they just stood by each other — waiting for the other to make the next move.
So who is really the brains in ANY relationship?
Usually it is supposed to be the girl with the guy offering their “common sense” approach somewhat in the background. If the girl is so STUPID, the relationship is bound to self-destruct. Guys are really simple-minded and require simple instructions to get anything done. But the overbearing and stubborn guys will really ruin the creative efforts of the women, if they are NOT too insanely demanding.
