A group of us were in a public house at about 3am this morning in for a bit of the craic and watching the Championships as Miss Williams fought back to win 4-6 7-6 9-7 and as England recovered from the deepest hole one could dig one's self into as they came back to tie the ODI final at Thomas Lord's bit of dirt.
Invariably the conversation at some point will come around to the mystery that is the gammet of the relational gap between chaps and ladies when a rather interesting point was put forward.
It seems as though that the last 400 years has entirely changed not only the methods used by either sex to go courting but the dress which they use. In Shakespearian England a dander young suitor would often parade in the finery of a ruff. 'Twas at this point that we decided that something was very amiss with society today.
Women know very well that to attract a paramour that blokes are highly visual in their stimulus inputs but for some strange reason, blokes over time have become more standardised and less visually exciting to the ladies. A peacock for instance will be dressed in finery according to their plumage, but to quote the lovely Samantha from last night "Most guys just look the same. Real serious in black suits and stuff"
When you think about it, even in the workplace the pressure for a lady to have a different set of outfits and to accessorise them on a daily basis is probably quite taxing but for chaps, one could in theory get away with one black suit, a white shirt and a few ties.
And that's really when it boils down what the only difference is in a lot of cases. It's funny how what was once used to blow once nose into became a marker of difference... to which we said BRING BACK THE RUFF!
