Chapter 12 11. Anatomy of a Man

There is a saying in English: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." It means that if a woman wants to please a man, she must give him good food.And indeed it is.As far as I know, the relatively happy marriages are the ones where the husband and wife hunt for good food with gusto.If you can't eat together, you can't live together. A man's stomach is very important to a woman, and women sometimes have to change their tastes to cater to men.I know many Chinese women who are married to foreigners. In the past, they definitely did not eat foreign food such as cheese at all, but now they attach great importance to discovering shops with good cheese. When eating with friends, they can also eat cheese with their husbands and wives. Sometimes she is full of praise. A woman who has the spirit of studying her husband's "foreign appetite" also learns to pair cheese with wine, making everyone think that her "stomach" has really "marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as you like." dog".

On the contrary, many women do not understand the importance of a man's "stomach" to their husband and wife relationship.I know a pair of like-minded aunts and uncles. Both of them are old revolutionaries.The reason is that my uncle is from Shandong, and my aunt is from Jiangsu. When I was in Yan'an, there was nothing to eat, so it was good to fill my stomach.But as soon as they are liberated, it will be over, and the material life will be richer, and there will be everything to eat, and the two people will not be able to get along.Uncle wants to eat noodles, but also eats raw onion and raw garlic. After all these years with him, my aunt has not found that she can't stand the smell of onion and garlic.Auntie loves to eat rice, and sprinkles sugar when cooking.Like all Jiangnan women, she also loves to eat snacks, which my uncle thinks are too "petty bourgeoisie".Since they participated in the revolution at the same time, the level is the same. Auntie did not let her "stomach" obey the concept of uncle's "stomach". you?Auntie believes that secular living habits are machismo, and she always imposes her favorite food on others. If she doesn't obey, she will put a political hat on others.Over time, my aunt and uncle stopped eating together.Uncle and his Shandong comrades ate in the noodle shop outside for a night with scallions dipped in sauce, and my aunt made some sweet dishes for herself at home.Later, because my uncle smelled like green onions every night, my aunt stopped sharing the bed with him.Fortunately, both of them are cadres, and there are four bedrooms in the family, so they simply have one room for each of them.

From this point of view, the vigorous revolutionary cause is not as good as eating can bind husband and wife together. Apart from the stomach, there is another organ of a man that is a decisive factor in the relationship between men and women, and that is the arm.A man's arms are very important to a woman.If we think about it, a man's arms are the only part of a naked man's body that a woman can pay attention to, other than the face.Men can show their legs, but men can stare at women's thighs endlessly, but women can't stare at men's legs endlessly.But it’s okay to look at the arms. Sometimes a woman’s love and desire for a man can be seen by looking at the arms.For example, in a book, Mrs. Chatterley is a lover who can be seen from the sweaty and muscular arms of a long-term worker.A good arm can bring endless associations to a woman, and it is the beginning of romance.

Today's white-collar men seem to understand this truth. They all know that the soft-skinned and tender faces that women liked in the 1920s and 1930s are completely outdated. If you want to get women's attention, you must have good muscles. Great place to show off your muscles (muscles all over your face are a no-no), so everyone is crowding around the gym to practice.Even men's clothing is designed to show good arms.I met a group of very good white-collar workers in Hong Kong, all working in some investment company, each wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt, the sleeves tightly wrapping the arms that have been practiced again and again.This fully proves the important position of the arm.

There are very few women who pay attention to men's legs, but I know one. She also wrote a paper on men's legs, won an award, and published it in some academic journal.This woman is Romanian. Her husband left her in Paris after he came to work in China and ignored her.She went to the Louvre every day to see Michelangelo's sculpture of David, and she actually saw a thesis on a man's thigh.Although this is also an achievement, I don't think it has any emulation value in real life.On the contrary, it always makes people feel that there must be something wrong with a woman who pays so much attention to a man's thigh.

There are still many so-called key parts that have not been mentioned, such as the "heart".Everyone seems to agree that "heart" is the essence, and there are many terms such as "conscience", "disgusting" and "hubness".But I don't think so.Besides those who study medicine, who has really seen what a heart looks like?In fact, apart from jumping, the heart has no other important functions. In addition, it is a man's brain and male reproductive organs. I have not studied these aspects.It's hard trying to figure out what's going on in someone else's head, whether it's a man or a woman.Furthermore, I heard that in some men, these two organs can be replaced. This kind of man is even more unfathomable. Let's wait for an expert to dissect it.
