Girls In Their Summer Dresses Essay, Research Paper

This story is one that I can certainly understand and have quite intense

feelings about. I must hold my tongue, though, as I do not wish to offend, but

to rather offer some insight to Michael?s side. Most importantly, Frances

should have never asked her husband about looking at girls. That is a loaded

question and one that will ALWAYS lead to an upset female, possibly with tears.

A similar question that warrants the same ending goes like this, ?If you could

change one thing about me, what would it be?? Now, how can a guy answer that

without sounding like a total jerk? It is an impossible feat. The guy wants to

be nice and says ?nothing.? Good answer? Wrong! The honest answer will make

the girl feel inadequate, ugly, fat, etc. It is a no-win situation for the male

victim. That is what happened to poor Michael. He could not deny that he looks

at other women, and for this he greatly upsets his wife. I have absolutely no

sympathy for Frances. She asked for the truth and she could not handle it. The

advice I offer is to deal with it. Michael loves his wife dearly, but he is

still a guy. He sees women everywhere and has normal thoughts about them.

However, that does not mean he doesn?t love his wife or that he thinks she is

not good enough for him any more, but that is the woman thought. That is the way

it is and it will never change. There are just biological differences between

men and women, and this is a big one.
