This weekend I saw the movie Think Like a Man. It was a movie about how men and women date
and the tricks they use in order to get with the opposite sex. The movie surrounds four women and five men
and the different methods they practice to get what they want. It was a funny movie and great for
entertainment. However, I really hope no
one (women or men) sitting in the audience was taking notes and thinking any of
these tricks would work. All the men and
women in this movie did was play games with one another, which ended up back
firing on all of them. It wasn’t until
the end, once everyone was honest and forth coming about what they really
wanted, did anyone end up happy and get what they desired. Playing games, when it deals with matters of
the heart, will never end the way most people want it to. Also, the title of this movie really annoyed
me. The title, Think like a man
insinuates the way women think is either inferior or wrong in comparison to the
way men think. I get that the idea is to
tell women not to be as emotional and to play the game more but it should be
phrased a different way. To me thinking
like a man, in most circumstances, especially dealing with relationships, is
thinking stupidly. Men think without
consequences or how things may play out.
A better thing to tell women might be think with your head and not
always with your heart and to trust your instincts. Many men wouldn’t admit it but they are just
as sensitive and some are more sensitive than women, they’re just better at
hiding that side. They love and they
hard and just try to be more careful about being open with their feelings. Women could learn some things from men about
how to be more careful with their hearts.
Nevertheless, telling women to think like men is not the right answer,
to think like a man is to think ridiculously.
