Why Men Are Stupid

There comes a time in every mans life when he does something really stupid. Really, really, really stupid. A lot of times this stupid act is preceded by the phrase "hey man, watch this!" Then there are those other times when a man does something so stupid he jeopardizes everything he loves and everyone that he loves. And why does he do such a thing? This is the same question that many people ask, I've been asked it a few times, but I never had an answer. I don't really have an answer now, just some thoughts.
I wish I could explain why men do these things. I wish I had a fool proof scheme for every guy to follow that would allow them to never do anything stupid ever again. But yet, it continues to happen. It happens to the best of us, in ways you never thought it could happen. Sometimes it deals with thinking you're better or stronger than you really are, sometimes you think that it'll never happen to you. And then BOOM! You realize you're not as strong or as good as you thought. There comes a point in our lives when somehow we become the person or thing that we hate. How does that happen? I'm sure it's the same formula that makes guys do some really stupid things.
Now I'm not gonna sit here and say it's only the men that screw up and do something stupid. I know that women do it too. But for whatever reason, it seems that men do it a lot more than the women do. Why is that? What is it about men in our DNA that doesn't stop us from doing these stupid things? Is it in the DNA or what is it? And there's been a number of ways that men have said they were sorry... cards, roses, whatever the case may be. But what do the women do? That really has nothing to do with any of this, it was just a random thought I had.
And you know, there's just never enough ways to say you're sorry. Nothing you could ever do to make up for those stupid moments, lapses of judgment, or just plain idiocy. You could say you're sorry as many times as you have breaths, and it would never make up for what you have done, man or woman. We as humans think we are better than we really are, and then we fall, we get knocked down and we get ourselves knocked back to reality. You think you've got life figured out, and then you end up somehow kicking yourself in the nuts.
So here's to hoping that men and women can do their best to never do anything stupid ever again. Cause once you do, you'll spend the rest of your life making up for it.
