Me!
The sucker of the year...
The world's biggest fool...
The eternal idiot...
All me!
Allow me to explain
As it turns out, men are tempted to fix things. You discuss something that's bothering you, for instance, and the thing they automatically do is: try to fix it. What if the problem is bigger or more complex than their capacity to fix? Like say global climate changes, economy of developing countries or the lack of the pre-A funding in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cairo. Well, they try to fix you! They will try all sorts of fixing tips and tricks for you to deal better with the problem; patience, ego-boosting, look-at-the-bright-side and other famous textbook advice.
The problem with me, is, I fall for it, i sadly misinterpret interest in the problem to interest in me as a person. The classic fool, I am! The one who opens up to the intellectuals, the do-ers, the acheivers, the ones with a can-do-and-have-done-attitude. These, are clearly, the fixers. They're never interested in me. They are interested in a stream of continuous problem solving mental exercise associated with me being a struggling entrepreneur.
But apparently, with the classic story, comes an interesting twist, a wife, a separation and another classic fool like me, who fell for this trap before! How can this happen to me twice ? I have no idea! But like I said, the worlds biggest fool.
I'd like to thank the academy, for saving me the humiliation, and not presenting this award in public. I'd like to thank my parents,you're the only ones who really care. And to all those players, on behalf of all: single, 30 something, entertaining women, who you would enjoy chatting with while you're bored trying to figure out what you want in life. I know we're easy, so you can't help by abuse us emotionally. Although inconsequential, really, just try to remember, we're human too, and deserve being treated as such. Thank you
