Guys vs. Men

This was such a classic article in which I could identify with everything that Dave Barry said. I agree with Barry when he says there is a difference between men and guys. When I think of Men I think of a very serious sophisticated businessman who's life is enveloped in his work. When I think of a guy I think of guys nights and football Sundays with friends. If I had to place myself in a category I would place myself in the guys category because I can relate to each and every story that Dave Barry wrote in the article "Guys vs. Men." Barry writes about how much guys like neat stuff and the unecessary things that they buy. (403) Right now I have a 52 inch plasma T.V. that my dad and I went and bought together. We went into the store looking for something cheap and affordable and walked out with a 7,000 dollar T.V. We figured why not go big and the plasma was way easier to see from a side point of view, what if we wanted to watch football and we were on the side of the T.V. we would want to watch it right?
I also love how Barry talked about how guys love pointless challenges. (405) I have to say that my friends and I are the kings of pointless challenges. So much so that you would have to label it as ridiculous. We usually make up pointless challenges when we are bored, which is probably every weekend. We love to make up pointless games. For instance at my friend Ryan's house on a bored Saturday afternoon with his parents out we decided hey lets play indoor basketball. So we took all of the furniture out of the living room, nailed a cardboard basketball rim on a 8 foot beam, and started playing basketball with his one of his dogs chew toy balls. Then in no time at all my friend Josh comes over and joins in the fun and then the next thing you know we have a full on tournement at the house with 6 guys playing. Another game we play is called the roll game. A very simple and entertaing game where all we do is sit on the floor indian style grab our cross our arms and grab our feet and start rolling. The object of this amazing game is to get the other rolling person to let go of thier feet without you letting go of your feet. I would like to awknowledge that I am still the reigning champ and am willing to take on any challengers. Guys are also not good at communicating their deeper inmost feelings. (408-9) I for one can relate to the phone call at 209. I am constantly badgered by my parents for details on who was on the phone, and what I did last night, and whos that girl you were talking to. Its not that I don't want to talk to them and not let them be apart of my life. Its just that im lazy and when I say that it was fun I don't want to be asked why it was fun.
Overall I think that guys just want to have fun. Enjoying simple pleasures, entertaining ourselves with poinless games, having competitions. Its what makes us guys, and for all you out there who aren't "guys" I suggest you join in or just stand back and enjoy the mindless entertainment that we bring to your lives.
