The Greatest Lie About Women

by DearRicky

There’s a misconception in our society that women can’t be understood. It’s rather unfortunate, isn’t it, how when we try to understand them, we’re immediately discouraged and shot down.

“Don’t even try because it’s impossible.”

“Even women don’t understand each other.”

“You need to just accept her for who she is.”

While acceptance is one of the strongest aspects in the foundation of love, giving up is never the answer. It still requires a sense of understanding. We can’t just accept without trying because effort counts for everything. We should care enough to want to put ourselves in her shoes without the need for her to continue asking.

But there’s an underlying issue to all of this and it has to do with the deception that women need to remain mysterious because it’s apparently the heart of her charm.

And it makes me sad when I think about the oppression of women. What kind of liberty is it when they’re constantly bombarded with unachievable images of digitally enhanced “beauty”? It’s true that the media can’t be blamed in isolation when choices define us, but when even little girls are exposed to these cruel expectations on a daily basis, it’s a completely different story.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a little makeup here and there to accentuate beauty, but women have been using it throughout the ages, despite potentially fatal consequences. When they’re using makeup to alter their appearance, this mask becomes a problem. When we add this factor to the aforementioned deception, there really is no freedom.

The need that women feel to remain a mystery is ridiculous. It’s a lie because they’re just as human and individual as men. They want what we want, except express it in different ways. Men and women have different roles, but the blood that flows within our hearts is the same.

Understanding women has nothing to do with reading her mind because doing so comes with time and effort. Even if you might never get it right, you still cared enough to try. It’s to be her best friend, while wanting to listen and talk to her, support, and laugh and cry with her.

Understanding women is about getting to know how she thinks and the subtleties of her feelings and emotions. Only through this effort and willingness are we able to have the privilege of finding who she is as a person. This is why there are three physical extensions in every woman; her eyes, smile, and touch, all of which lead to her heart, and the same reason makeup is unnecessary.

It has nothing to do with being a mystery because it’s a journey of discovering and rediscovering her for everything she is, time and time again.

The heart of her charm and everything that defines her is her heart alone.

The pathway towards her heart is to try and understand her.

The art of loving a woman is to encourage her to take her mask off and reveal the true beauty of her heart.
