Mystery of Men #3

''We're going to find it''
''It should be somewhere here, you wait and see''
''I'm sure it's here near... Just follow me!''

Yes.. Once again I've had too much time and observed this ''smarter'' sex of human. In case you darlings didn't quite catch the idea from the quotes above, you can try this situation yourself:

YOU WILL NEED
 - One unknown place to you and your company
(eg. cafeteria, shop, park... anything goes.)
- One man
(Doesn't matter who. I'm sure anyone goes as long as you take a man with you.)
- Patience and understanding, a lot.

First, decide this unknown destination together (this way he cannot blame you choosing really hard place to find.) Then, try to find there together. When seeking this place, try yourself just observe how he's reacting when he doesn't find the place. Notice something really frustrating but still kind of amusing? ;)

He cannot admit he just doesn't find the place. Easier would be just ask someone for help but no. No no no! That is out of the question. No one can be smarter than he, so asking for help is totally forbidden. (According to one of my friend, read: according to one man, it shows you're weak if you need to ask.)

So, they rather roam in the street for tens of minutes looking extreamly confused than ask for help and get in their destination in a couple of minutes? Indeed. Kinda cute eh ;)

Mystery of Men

What is the difference between Finnish guys and Dutch guys?
When spending a  lovely day off evening with our Feo and our good old friend M, we decided to go for a couple of drinks and say hello to some Dutch friends of this friend of ours. Soon I and Feo founded a mysterious side about these Dutch guys... Politeness.

Comparing them to their Finnish colleagues, they were buying us everything we wanted and answering our questions,  properly. When asking them for example ''Hi how are you?'', they answered in long sentences, not just with the couple of words. How sweet is that.

A total surprise was that they were buying us drinks, giving their credit cards and codes to us AND they actually weren't drunk. I mean come on, who'd do that here in Finland when being sober? I was truly amazed that there are men like that existing, asking truly and SOBER: ''Would you like to have something to drink?'' When talking about this with them they were amazed that this isn't actually any self-evidence. In the Netherlands at least it is a habit that everyone buys drinks to everybody without a question. No matter if you like your company or not, you need to buy them drinks.

Why in the world men in Finland aren't doing that when getting to know them for a first time? Talking in long sentences and being a gentlemen. Now that is a true mystery.

Ps. Because I'm now in my workplace and have my break, you darlings will have your Fridays Five in the evening ;)

Mystery of Men

Enrique Iglesias, Paul McDonald, Hugh Jackman and Adam Levine has it. So did even Ville Valo and Adam Lambert have but Adam wrote in his twitter he'd shaved it off last Friday... Suffering from hangover yesterday, I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the video about TH-twins: Now Bill Kaulitz has it.

Hot or not. Thick, stubble, soul patch, sideburns... anyway: Beard. As a young woman I've noticed men usually have this mysterious period in their lives when they just have to grow a beard. It seems to be a massive urge to them. It's amusing to observe this trend and I've seen this happening to my friends and to my twin brother: Guys just have to do it at some point. When one has done it, others will follow.

The question that is bothering a young woman like me is: Why? Maybe this is some part of becoming a man. Maybe. I think I'll never understand it. Not that I don't like some men with beard: To me it's alright as long as they care for it well. That's why this is for you men! ;)

(I'm not taking the responsibility for the tips since as a woman I have 0% experience)
