Man vs. Woman: The Phone Call

in Dating & Sex Man vs. Woman by Man vs Woman — October 2, 2009 |

In today’s society, people are used to instant answers and gratification within a few clicks of the mouse or quick search on your iPhone. There are thousands of publications, websites, articles, and blogs giving you advice about the opposite sex or ways to improve yourself. However, rarely do these sources give you insight about what both sexes are thinking. Our very own Man vs. Woman series will dissect topics about relationships, dating, breaking up, sex, marriage, and everyday life to give you some insight as to what exactly your partner is probably thinking.

It’s been three days and he hasn’t called, should she call him?

She Said:

If you must, but I don’t think it is a good idea. I know thoughts, like what if he lost my number, or what if he was in an accident, are crossing through your mind, but odds are he has you number and he wasn’t in an accident. He is probably sitting on his couch watching Entourage and adjusting his balls. The thought of you has not even crossed his mind. If a man likes you, he is going to call. He won’t want to wait three days because of some unwritten rule, he is going to want to see or talk to you as soon as he can. You deserve a man who doesn’t keep you waiting so stop sitting there staring at your phone and get out. Go take a walk or do some shopping because you never know who you might meet along the way!

He Said:

We don’t like you, so don’t call. Men are horny creatures of instant gratification and we can’t wait that long. There is not a guy code about some type of “3 day rule.” We may wait a day, maybe two tops, if we are really trying to play it cool and not seem desperate. If we like you, the longest we can wait to see if you really like us is maybe 48 hours. With all the easy ways to flirt with a women (via text, chat, Facebook, e-mail, etc) we will usually start sending out feelers within 48 hours to make sure you are at least somewhat interested in us and to protect our egos. If it has been 3 days, you are not the exception. We just don’t like you.

Jillian and Ryan were high school sweet hearts who were destined to live a fairy tale life. However, as they grew up their destiny seemed to change. Both realized they had a lot to learn about the opposite sex before any lifetime commitments could be made. Even though they remain friends today, any opportunity to insult the other person and and their sex is a temptation too great to resist.
