Comfortable

Comfortable Jeans

Hello to all,

There have been many commentaries, writings, and books on the differences between men and women. If the differences had to be summed up in one word, I believe it would be “comfortable.” No other word in the English language has a broader connotation between the sexes. To a man, comfortable is something special and desirable. To a woman, comfortable is something ordinary and not worth having.

Men seek comfort in every endeavor they undertake. Whether it is shoes or a car, a man has to feel comfortable. How much a man likes a vehicle depends on how comfortable he is behind the wheel. Some men do not like to feel boxed in, so they buy SUVs. Other men want cars that fit like a glove and buy sporty ones. Rarely do you see a man who owns both. A man goes shoe shopping, one of the most essential requirements of the shoes is that they have to be comfortable. What man has not owned a pair of everyday shoes and lamented the fact that they wore out? Most men have an old shirt in the closet. It is a little tattered; the color has faded, but it feels just right when you put it on. Then there is our chair. It is usually a recliner, and our butts fit just right in the cushion.

Women have little or no comfort requirements when shopping. This is very apparent in the shoes they own. High heels, pointy toes, and sore feet when they take them off are the norm. Comfort often takes a back seat when matching an ensemble. What comfortable clothes they do own are for days one does not leave the house. They are much too dull to be in public. I heard tell that a woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

Men feel that if something is comfortable, it is worth keeping for a long time. When a man says he is comfortable in a relationship with his wife, that means he can see spending the rest of his life with her and not calling her an old shoe. Men do not easily give up easily on things they find comfortable. Whether it is a shoe, a car, or a wife, if a man is comfortable, he tries to keep them forever. Comfortable shoes have a lifespan of 2 to 3 years. A comfortable car has a lifespan of 4 to 10 years. A comfortable wife has a lifespan, oh, an entire life.

To a man, the word “comfortable” does not mean boring, outdated, worn out, lifeless, colorless, odorless, tasteless, weak, ordinary, plain, mediocre, unappealing, featureless, second-rate, commonplace, or stuck in a rut. It is the place we most want to be. So when your man says he is comfortable with you, please remember that he is saying he would like to spend the rest of his life with you.

Grace to all,

Danny Mac
