Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps

I once had an interesting conversation with a rather cynical female friend, who had the view that guys always have ulterior motives or are insincere when giving compliments. For example,

“Oh, are those Pearls? I love Pearls”
“I love Pearl Necklaces…”

“Oh of course you are prettier than the girl over there”
“Wonder if she would like a Ménage à trois?”

“You are looking very pretty tonight”
“Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir ?”

I have always wondered why the actions and words of a male must be scrutinised through the looking-glass of skepticism? Can’t he have innocuous reasons for his comments---perhaps he wants the girl to feel appreciated; perhaps he simply wants her to feel good?

Perhaps not everything males do is linked to their libido? Perhaps we live life for reasons other than sex? Perhaps perhaps perhaps…
