Heard someone say, ‘I need a man to spoil me’. Hmmm. ‘Careful what you wish for’ I said under my breath. Come to think about it, what else do men do but spoil the ladies? There seems to be an innate skill in most males to leave things slightly worse than they found them. I will hereby go on to prove my hypothesis with very weak arguments. A well-dressed lady with a perfect figure walks by. She walks past a group of one hundred men and see what happens. Ten percent want to ruffle her hair, twenty percent of them want to separate her from her clothing and the rest wish they could do things to her that might lead to pregnancy and a loss of that hour glass figure.
Those wishing to be spoiled should ‘Continue’.
Research has shown that a man’s stress levels drops in marriage while the opposite occur in ladies. The men spoil a peaceful life with new worries. A single lady with disposable cash and ample leisure time is doing extremely well but she does not know it. She hopes for a better tomorrow from a man who in his own corner is secretly hoping for a lady to spoil him by waiting on him hand and foot. When the two jokers in need of spoiling meet you, they at first act out all the movie scenes they have accrued over the years but soon run out of gas and settle down into the expectant mode. With both parties sat in opposite corners of the room waiting for each other to initiate the spoiling, reality soon strikes the eyes to reveal to them that Hollywood is not Realitywood just as much as Khaki is not leather.
That is when the mood is spoilt.
The solution is not to expect anyone to spoil you in a positive way. Do it yourself from youth and if someone else does a bit for you, count it as a bonus.
I know that I am on a roll (a slippery one at that). I might as well talk about this ‘Knight in shiny armour’ that some ladies talk about. The one who will come and sweep them off their feet the way a broom might sweep dust. Now, everyone loves a winner and a well-dressed physically fit knight is the perfect example. He probably has won a few battles and has the respect of his men. He probably knows the king and has been paid for previous victories with land in the best parts of the kingdom. These Knights are loyal. Everyone wants loyalty. The only problem is that these knights are loyal to the King and with good reason. Loyalty to royalty breeds prosperity. Now while one might assume that loyalty is a transferable skill, what if? What if the Knight can be loyal to the nobility but no one else? Ah! But I hear you say that every lady is a Queen. Judging from what I read on social media every man seems to be calling his woman a Queen. Well, the Queens have out-numbered the thrones, unless we start counting toilet seats to be seats of power.
Everyone is a Queen nowadays so the knights should be loyal to them, is it not? Well, having a good hair dresser, nice lipstick and the perfect social media duck face is not enough.
It is true that the Queens tend to have a nice hairdo and makeup. In addition however, she has a brain between her glamorous earrings that is full of knowledge in the areas of politics, economics, psychology and sociology. A queen knows how to talk to people, lead them and inspire them. Her strength lies in dignity and not Olympic standard twerking.
So rather than wish for a knight in shiny armour who is used to riding horses and might temporarily give the horse a break to ride you, it would be more expedient to think about having something to offer other than your unmet needs.
People full of unmet needs are a danger to everyone. They wonder why their friends visit but leave the engine running outside, the same way the knights will have their horses on the ready. Needy people put everyone in a ‘just passing through’ mode. A quick escape is always on the cards when the neediness becomes unbearable.
So it is all back to that good old principle of sowing and reaping. If you want spoiling, spoil yourself; lead by example. If you postulate that your bum-bum was created for first class airplane seats and Range Rover jeeps then prove it yourself and stop wishing for someone else to prove your hypothesis.
If you want a knight in shiny armour, then be regal. Learn politics, learn people skills, acquire a property portfolio, invest in nice jewellery and the knights will come riding into your palace. As for being swept off your feet from the miry clay of boredom into the exciting paradise of wealth and prosperity remember this – to be swept off your feet in ecstasy stretch on tip toes next to the ladder of success, grab the highest step that you can reach and pull yourself sharply up.
The same principles actually apply to hoping that a political leader will change your life. While he might improve the conditions in which you live in, only an individual can make the changes he wants to see. Michael Jackson had a song about this.
