Q: Why are all men dogs? n R.C.
A: R.C., let me preface this by saying that I do not believe all men are dogs. There are phenomenal men out there who are great husbands, loving fathers and wonderful friends. But if we assume some men are “dogs,” then we must assume some women are “dog catchers.”
There are many different personality types of men. Within those types are personalities that are more prone to “doggish” behavior. Understanding that, we assume your belief that ALL men are dogs has everything to do with the type of men you have chosen.
If all the men you have dated exhibited “doggish” behavior, this makes you a dog catcher.
With so many varied personalities, how are you are finding yourself dating the same one?
Understand what I am saying here.
A dog catcher is a woman whose expectations are very low because they believe that invariably all men are going to treat them and behave the same way. They have not seen nor believe a man is capable of honesty, communication or fidelity, thus don’t even seek those things when they are looking for a mate.
When dog-catchers are ready for relationships, they seek men who will give them exactly what they are expecting, which by the way is nothing. After the relationship has ended, they state, to no one’s surprise but their own, that he was a dog. Then the cycle begins again.
R.C., if every man you’ve dated has been a dog, try doing something different, anything different. Ask yourself: Do you expect more from a man? n and be honest with the answer. Realistically, people can only do to us what we let them do, and if someone keeps doing the same thing to us, we must ask: Why am I permitting this person (these people) to do this to me?
The question then is not “Why are all men dogs?” but “How did I become a dog catcher?”
Be blessed, live free & love more,
